I am about to see health visitor for our 6wk check tomorrow so will be asking, but it certainly was the £15 and then £15 when I had my other daughter (she is 3 in Dec). Oh and hello to another Shetlander!

I think these things would be a whole lot greener if people refrained from using disposable inserts like nappy liners. I raised all three of mine with terries and if they have a healthy diet you can shake a neatly formed poo straight into the loo. If they are a bit sloppy as in newborn 'picalilli' a quick sluice in a bucket of water removes the lot.
We never had nappy rash and they don't leak if you know how to fold them properly - neither did any of them ever get stuck with the pin, although I did a few times.
How can we cure mums of the delusion that liners are a good thing?

^^ My friend who has raised 5 used cotton nappies with liners, and she'd wash the liners as well. They're actually quite durable and she could get 3-4 uses out of them.

^^ No, no, I'm talking about the thin papery liners you get on rolls of like 250... they wash fine

I've accidentally washed them myself too, so I know first hand.

Says she who has gone REALLY lazy and now uses Nature Babycare disposable nappies. I used the cloth ones for a year, and then went through a really stressful period and resorted to those disposable ones, with full intentions of going back once things died down. I never did. I fully plan on bringing out the cloth nappies for the next baby though.

Doh :oops: sorry

Thinking about it, I've probably done the same. Amazing how quickly we forget nappy days. One of the few things that's not really coochy-coo about babycare...although saying that, it's ever so sweet seeing a big nappy bum....as long as it's not full!

Should have said ref this post as a whole....think 'real' nappies are grrreat and glad they're getting the credit they deserve at last.

I did mean the disposable liners. As far as I'm aware they didn't do any other kind when mine were little. I did try them at first but found them intensely irritating as they rolled up and such. I think I still had the packet with just a few out of it, lying in my airing cupboard ten years later when I had the last baby and I finally threw them away.
If you prefer them and are washing them, then there is no difference as you rightly say. I can't see what convenience benefit they offer though as you are still having to rinse them. I suppose the modern ones probably have that stay dry construction which would make them of some use.
