That was the plan, but both boys ended up in a mix of sposies and cloth for the first week - purely cause I'd been given some for free. I've NEVER paid for a sposie - that counts right??

thx Millie, great to hear that. I like your system. WIll have to set up something similar.
We are having a night stopover on the way there (no choice) but straight through on the way back - theoretically! We'll need to have enough to get through the flight plus the stopover without washing... shopping may be required ;-) ]]> Fri, 14 Jan 2011 14:57:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37078&PID=1240236&title=never-used-a-disposable-nappy#1240236 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37078&PID=1238437&title=never-used-a-disposable-nappy#1238437 Author: yermasyada

I've just been to the UK for Christmas I had a wheelie hand luggage case which (amongst other things) had all my prefolds and boosters in. I bought an extra large wetbag to store the dirties in. I also had a proper nappy bag (Ergo backpack) which stored my small 'nappy pod' which I used when changing the boy, and then transferred the dirty nappies from the small wet bag, to the big one, when it was full.
It worked really well. You just need to be organised. I even coped despite the fact it took us 4 days to get to Edinburgh (including and overnight stop in Cyprus and London!) due to the snow chaos ]]> Wed, 12 Jan 2011 20:02:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37078&PID=1238437&title=never-used-a-disposable-nappy#1238437 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37078&PID=1237122&title=never-used-a-disposable-nappy#1237122 Author: T_Rex

Yeah, I thought it was that important too, but in the end I was just so relieved to be holding a live healthy baby that they could have dressed her in anything they liked and I wouldn't have cared!

not a single disposable nappy here too :-) our little girl is nearly 4 months. It wasn't that difficult but we did have a newborn hire kit (two actually) which really helped - I can't imagine trying to get OSFM nappies to work when she was tiny.

I don't know that many others either, even amongst the mums I know that usually use cloth!

The only time I've caved into convenience is when we went to Fiji and I bought some flushable nappy liners. They gave the boy horrific nappy rash Needless to say, we won't be using those again!

I wish I could say me - it was certainly the plan! But somewhere in the mad dash to transfer from a homebirth to the hospital for assistance, we forgot to take them with us! So we used hospital sposies for the first 20 hours or so that we were in hospital. Her first nappy change once we got home was into a prefold and we've never gone back.

Daycare have put the occasional disposable on her too, when she's going sliding around in paint or something, but she gets an awful rash every time they do, so I've told them to get paint on her cloth naps instead.]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 20:19:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37078&PID=1219603&title=never-used-a-disposable-nappy#1219603 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37078&PID=1219340&title=never-used-a-disposable-nappy#1219340 Author: BessieBear

We used them for one time in hospital then only a couple once we got home (mainly DF cause he couldnt get his head around the prefolds). I had to use them last month as we were in hospital for a week in another town, and there was no way I was trying flat nappies on a 6 month old, plus I had no covers. Next baby will be cloth all the way unless we have to stay somewhere where there is no washing facilities.]]> Sun, 12 Dec 2010 21:17:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37078&PID=1218794&title=never-used-a-disposable-nappy#1218794 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37078&PID=1218751&title=never-used-a-disposable-nappy#1218751 Author: yermasyada

This is the goal for #2! Especially to be more organised!

Yup, only cloth in this house. I really hate disposables.

Got me thinking how many other bubbas have never used a disposable. I'm guessing not many.

Ooh have you?? I wish I could say never hehe, but we used disposables exclusively till DD was 3wks, then off and on till she was 3months. She's been in cloth full time since 3months, even when we went camping last summer

Have got heaps of tiny newborn nappies for this next bubba and am actually planning to not use disposables at all, will let ya know if it works out that way ]]> Sun, 12 Dec 2010 16:56:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37078&PID=1218616&title=never-used-a-disposable-nappy#1218616 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37078&PID=1218549&title=never-used-a-disposable-nappy#1218549 Author: yermasyada

Hi Ladies

Just curious....

How many of you have NEVER used a disposable nappy on your bubba?

I know a few people tend to use them for the first few days/weeks before moving onto cloth, or maybe used them on a long flight, but I'm just curious how many of you have NEVER used a disposable?
