I'm not sure where you live and I'm sure you have investigated this already but in many areas there are real nappy incentive schemes where you can get a refund (eg in Wiltshire if you spend over £30 you get £15 and if over £60 then £30).

He's in a disposable at night (allegedly environmentally friendly one although I haven't worked out what that means) and reusables throughout the day. Our house is on the chilly side so that wee-soaked nappy can get a bit chilly. Now that my progeny is finally sleeping through the night, I wouldn’t risk anything jeopardising that.

I go out most days with Rowan, so we get through 1-2 disposables during the day, depending on how long I'm out for and if we get an ill-timed poo! This is because while I'm happy to carry a wet nappy around when it's changed, the one time I went out with a reusable on he did a huge poo and it was a nightmare dealing with it in the asda nappy changing room. We tried putting Rowan in reusables overnight with both a terry and a fleece booster, but he would still want changing in the middle of the night, so we've gone back to one disposable which lasts through the night. Overall we're on about 5 reusable nappies and 2 or 3 disposables in a day. This feels like a good compromise between conscience and convenience for us :-) We use totsbots reusable nappies when we’re in the house, and disposables when out and about.
