Disposable or reusable nappies?

Has anyone thought about/ done any research or had experience with reusable nappies? It hadn’t even crossed my mind until it was mentioned in an antenatal class last night and I feel like I owe it to Greta to at least try them 🤣

I’ll be using the tots bots bamboozle 2-part system (wrap + pad). They have day and night options for these. They also make all-in-1 nappies which are supposed to be just like disposable. Check out the nappy lady - they have an advice centre and there’s a questionnaire you can complete and they’ll offer you a personalised recommendation based on your preferences.

I’ve gone for a mixture of the 2. I have no doubt I won’t manage fully reusable but I thought if I could use them part of the time atleast I’m trying! X

Also 100% recommend second hand the sheer amount of money you save is incredible. We've got a good newborn and birth to potty stash already for under £100.

Love love love reusable nappies. They really aren't that much harder when you're used to them, poop is honestly the last thing on your mind. We're doing a mix of cloth and Disposable for when baby is tiny and then we'll slowly move up to fully cloth once we feel a bit more human. We chose to do mostly prefolds, which are cheap (you can get prefolds and covers second hand for next to nothing) and also give good coverage. Poop before weaning is water soluble so you don't have to rinse, and then for weaning babies we'll use reusable fleece liners to catch poop and run under the toilet flush to clean it off before washing. Word of warning with the Disposable liners - they tend to bunch up and be a bit of a pain sometimes.
