My question is this - my daughter was just shy of six pounds at birth and the BG diapers didn't fit till she was 6 weeks. We got tons of disposables at showers etc., so we just used those while she was a newborn. I really, really would like to not use disposables with this baby if possible, but I'm kind of balking at the cost of buying a stash we may only use for a month or two. I'm also a little (tiny, tiny bit) concerned I won't have the energy to keep up with the wash routine while in the newborn phase (although I've CD'd all through law school, so I think that's probably a baseless concern). I'm very familiar with the one-size pocket diapers and kids in my family have very sensitive skin, so I don't think any diapers system where moisture would sit on their skin would work for us.

Any thoughts? Anecdotes? Thanks!]]> http://allaboutclothdiapers.com/forum/discussion/104/newborn-covers-for-sale Tue, 08 May 2012 21:35:32 -0400 TaraB 104@/forum/discussions 2 Rump-a-rooz NB covers- One brown and one Powder (baby blue) never used. $8 each

1. Newborn rental programs - I plan on having 2 kids. With multiple kids, is it worth just investing in small diapers or is it still easier/cheaper to use a newborn rental program twice?

2. Feedback on my plan:
I would like to CD from the newborn phase (if I have a very, very small baby I'm ok using disposables until we can fit into a diaper meant for 7-8 lbs). Can I get feedback on what I'm thinking of doing for my stash?

Newborn/small stage: prefolds and covers
-prefolds (cotton, hemp, home-sewn from flannel), some home-sewn fitteds
-thirsties duo wrap size 1

-are bummis worth getting?
-are softbums Echo and pods worth getting?
-would econobums be a better choice?
-how many covers will I need? 6? 8?
-will I need doublers? How many?

15 lbs +
-Heiny Lineys system
-Flip

-I like the washable/wipable cover w/ and insert better than an AIO or pocket system. Heiny Lineys look fantastic in terms of versatility - particularly the way you can pre-stuff them to mimic AIOs for sitters, family, etc. And after reading so much good feedback on the flips, I can't imagine not wanting to try them. Plus I know I can stuff both of them with the smaller prefolds.

-again, I still have a hard time figuring out how much I actually need in terms of covers and inserts.


I'm very excited about all of this and thank everyone in advance for their input
