As the title says, which one have you found to better,or prefer?.I haven't ever used Flushable ones before,but I haven't ever used cloth on a NB either.
Just after people's opinions really,before I make my mind up.

I found BOTH types to be a waste of time on DD who was a cloth baby from birth. They didn't make clean up any easier and the only time she had a liner on was when she had a rash. If I'm treating a rash I use raw silk liners rather than fleece or disposable, fleece and disposable liners are for making poo clean ups easier after starting solids.

Definitely fleece - they will help to keep moisture off of bubs bottom from wees and as for poos you won't be trying to get a flushable liner out of the goop (newborn poo is so runny it all just comes out in the wash).

Flushable liners can make life easier when the poo is more solid - or rather in that inbetween phase when it's kinda like peanut paste!

Fleece liners tend to be better especially with newborn poo and they are more cost effective. They are easy to make yourself, just buy polarfleece from spotlight etc and cut to size, there is no need to sew

I found flushable liners got stuck up my bubs bum lol original.gif
