Advantages: Easy to use and they do everything a nappy should

Disadvantages: You have to wash them but once you are in a routine this is no bother

I always wanted to use real nappies with my baby but before I started looking I had no idea how complicated a decision like this could be. A lot of websites / magazines recommended buying just 1 nappy from a range of suppliers and trying them out before making a decision. I thought that this would work out very expensive and I wanted to start as I meant to go on - without letting myself slip into the habit of using disposables. So, I read lots and lots (and lots) of articles and eventually made a decision.

I decided to go for a shaped nappy with a separate wrap. I didn't want to use terry squares - baby's dad can't fold a sheet so we both agreed that a nappy would be beyond him! The all in one nappies (no separate wrap) were apparently slightly easier but take much longer to dry.

So, once I had chosen my style I needed a supplier. I chose Little Lamb because they were cheapest and they offered a 30 day trial period - if you don't like them you can send them back (even if they've been used). And they recognise that you will buy them early - the 30 days starts from the first day you start using them (not the day you buy them).

The nappies have been great - but we did need to buy more wraps than they suggested. In fact, for the first few months we found them better than disposables. Our baby has always been a skinny little thing and the disposables always leaked wee up his back. This never happened with the little lambs. They are really easy to wash and they dry overnight - and they are so much cheaper than disposables in the long run.

We are now onto the size 2s and we use disposables at night (just because you need to change slightly more often with cloth nappies and the extra sleep really is worth it!). When we ordered the size 2s they leaked. I thought this was because our baby was inbetween sizes - but eventually I realised that the wraps were faulty. I emailed Little Lambs about this and they were great - even though it was quite a few weeks since I had bought them. I just sent photos and they replaced them all.

I have recommended Little Lambs to friends and they have all been really pleased with them too.

Summary: 100% recommended
