How do I get started?

[JaidevsMum]

Hi, I'm thinking of converting to cloth, at least for at home anyway, but I have no idea how to get started - what do I need? How do I clean them without using harsh chemicals? I'd appreciate any advice as I really have no idea,

Depending on your lifestyle and how old your bub is you will need enough for 20 changes.
There is much t learn.
All the best!

Or spend a day browsing through all the threads on bubhub!!

There are some really good ones with other users giving feedback on their favourite cloth nappies :thumbsup:

It's really alot easier than it sometimes sounds! The links posted by Kymmy are really good to look at :thumbsup:
Most ppl assume cloth nappies are still the square terries, with pins, blowouts galore, soaking before washing, and a huge bum!
Well, it's the 21st century and things have changed:smiliedance: . There's some wonderful and ingenius nappies now, there's no more pins, the blowouts have been reduced (I can't say they never happen, but they happen with disgustables aswell), NO more soaking:yelclap: , and no more huge bum - just cuddly bums!

Babybeehinds (I've got these) and greenkids seem to be a couple of the more popular nappies, and the most praised, on BH.
