I do! I use mainly Kooshies Ultras,( spelt Kushies in US). I have a few other

cheaper ones to supllement with aswell. Altogether I have 24 and that is

plenty. A lot of people say you need more but I don't think so. Verity only

requires about six changes a day. She is 22 pounds now and was 18 pounds when

I switched from disposables. The Kooshies come in two main sizes 10-22 pounds

and 22-45 pounds. I bought the larger size but they did leak a bit until she

grew into them. Overnight I add an Aristocrat wool soaker and that is

brilliant. No leaks whatsoever. I am on the list cloth_diapersonelist A

lot of people there recommende the Motherease system but I haven't tried that.

I soak mine in a bucket of plain water and do a wash 2 or 3 times a week.

Personally I think cloth is much better for b/f babies because they have very

runny poops.

Everytime Verity went in a Huggies or Pampers it would leak up the back out

the legs everywhere! We have never had a blow-out wirh cloth! Can you tell I

like cloth nappies!!

Oh and about care for them. I do not use a wet pail. I put all of them

together and do a pre-rinse with cold water, hot wash with detergent and

washing soda, and a cold rinse. Hope that helps ya some.
