Hi,

My first baby is due in October and I'm planning on using cloth (probably flats / squares).

I just wanted to say "hello" and "thank you" to everyone who has made this forum such an informative and helpful resource, I have picked up a lot of useful information already by lurking here!

Hi AppleTree. Welcome to Cloth Nappy Tree

I hope you enjoy using the site - there are plenty of areas to explore, if you can't find something or have any questions just ask, everyone is friendly and helpful

Thanks!

Welcome and congratulations! Great that you have chosen cloth already! Look forward to chatting and please ask as many questions as you need, I remember how overwhelming it is in the beginning.

Thanks!

I’m hoping to use cloth from the start. I have a handful of disposables that came free with Emma’s Diary / Bounty pack etc. that I’ll throw into my hospital bag just in case but from everything I’ve read / heard I just think that cloth sounds far preferable for baby and really not a whole lot more hassle for me, although I realise it’s all going to be new and exciting / terrifying / exhausting for me in a few weeks!

Ooh, it's lovely to have another 'Tree baby' to look forward to! You are very welcome on the site and I'm glad you have found some useful information.

I never did muslin with either child. I tried prefolds with my first but the wraps I had didn't work for us. I wish I'd know how many different sorts there were when I first started out.

I very much loved our newborn bimbles and little lambs.

Welcome and congratulations! Look forward to chatting and hearing on about your cloth journey

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.
I'll carry on reading the forums and reviews in the hope that I can absorb some of the knowledge here before my little one arrives.

@AppleTree - have you picked up any nappies as yet, or are you still considering what to get?
