I have almost 40 which is a dozen more than I need. They are all OSFM so I can't even claim DS has grown out of some. Today I found a camouflage print and denim jeans lookalike print at the markets and had to buy them. I have justified it to myself by saying I am supporting local WAHMs.
Must. Stop. Buying. Nappies. |

LOL
I have actually managed to cull a bit recently and sell some on FB but yes I've had way too many at different times over the last 4.5 yrs I have been cloth-nappying DD and then DS. Since most of my nappies are OSFM pockets, I think I have about 2 dozen but DS is asleep so I'm not going into his room to count! Lou

That's the problem - one of the reasons we buy cloth is because it works out cheaper than disposables in the long run...only not if you get addicted and keep buying more and more and more.

Wow...I only have about 30 which are all on constant rotation as DS is a fusspot and loathes being even the teensiest bit wet. I'm hoping this will result in his being easy to TT when the time comes.
I am looking at some pretties though - all mine except the Collingwood one I got for DH is a workhorse
