With her very encouraging comment on the giveaway post itself:

cloth had always scared me, not knowing how to fold them when shown briefly, looked like hard work, then bought a couple mcn after discovering them for my son not knowing if and when toilet training would begin, had another baby so bought more mcn, and trying to build a collection up now for the boys, i love them! if only brochures of mcn were in those bags we get when pregnant or also with that paper work and brochures we get after baby is born, i think more parents would be aware! i saw and had no info on these they are happy to show disposables in these bags!

Sarah I will be in touch shortly.

================================================================

In compiling the list, I noticed there were a few questions that I had missed answering.

KP asked:

Hi BSB,
Are there benefits of using cloth nappies when toilet training?  Are there better styles suited to the toddler once they become a bit more dexterous with press studs and such?

SL asked:

What to do when a nappy with a sewn in microfibre soaker pad has a smell after it has been washed and dried in the sun?

and

Regarding using night nappies, would the baby/toddler feel cold from a wet nappy if they wee between sleep cycles?

Elisabeth asked:

My nappies have purple/brown stains on them (apparently from panadol), is there any trick way to remove this?

I intend to address these questions in future blog posts, and with links from other websites.

If you DO know the answer to these questions, feel free to chime in with your knowledge as well

Another future blog series for August would be about the newborn nappying experience. I know many mummies who will be having newborns in the next 3-4 months or so. With a newborn on the way you can be sure tiny little nappies are on my mind as well, besides the nesting instinct (preparing for a clean home) and keeping two littlies occupied!
