Have one (or two) the other way. We're not worried, but neither my eldest or his friend next door show any signs of even knowing when their nappy is wet - they're both approaching 3 at the moment and have both been in cloth nappies since the start.

Given all the problems listed, I think you (plural) really should just go with disposables, but I'm surprised you (Ganesh) have difficulty with what needs to happen with the various parts of the cloth nappy - it's not exactly difficult, is it?

Anyway, I'm more interested in the logic behind "no photos permitted by his father" - what's the worry?
