Proraps are the cover I recommend most for the newborn stage.

For our newborn (due early next year) I am thinking of doing an indian prefold diaper with a Thirsties cover. Couple questions…
1. Which of the Thirsties covers (Duo Wrap or Diaper cover) would you recommend for a newborn?
2. Any other recommendations you would have instead of these for a newborn?
**I’d prefer to stay away from buying 20+ fitted or of one kind just for a newborn (I will be switching to the Flip, Kawaii, and BumGenius once he is big enough for a OS) and try to save some money by buying just covers and prefolds.

1) Imse Vimse is a good cover. Not used Little Beetle. Didn’t like Polar Bummis. I wanted to like Polar Bummis but the fit was off on Paisley.
2) There isn’t room inside a nb diaper to put a prefold.
3) I wouldn’t go without a cover. I wouldn’t want to take the chance of getting wet when it wasn’t necessary. As babies grow and are walking then going coverless becomes something that I feel more comfortable doing. You could always try it out and see how it works for you

Autumn, I’m so glad that I found your site to soak up some CD’ing wisdom! As a mom-to-be, pregnant with my first, a little boy to be born this winter, CDs seem like an economical and environmentally friendly way to go. I’m looking at using Green Mountain Organic prefolds with a cover during the newborn stage. What is your experience with the Imse Vimspe organic or wool covers, Little Beetle covers or Polar Bummis? Also, can newborn diapers such as Kissaluvs or Swaddlebees and Imse Vimpses be used without a cover or with a prefold inside?

Thanks.

I use proraps mainly. I find them to be the best. I have used thirsties and blueberry as well. For wool soakers I love woollybottoms, sbish and luxe baby.

You’ve given very good input on fitteds to use on a newborn, but what covers do you use over the fitteds for a newborn? I’m expecting my second and wanting to try the cd route from here on out. I used disposables only on my first baby, so this is all new to me. My first baby was very small, 6lbs 13 oz, 20.5″ long. I don’t know if this next baby will be as small, but don’t expect it to be much bigger. I don’t want a huge bulky butt on little baby. Want to use fitteds, but not sure which covers you recommend for a trim fit on a tiny baby. I LOVE your site and consider you the goddess of cding. Thank you thank you for all your wonderful advice, insight, and information. You’re wonderful Autumn!

fitted, but she doesn't have much if any in stock. Other brands you might look into: Goodmama, Little Boppers, Kissaluvs size 0, clovers.

Dear Autum, I have found 3 types of diapers in the Muttaqin website: fitted,AOI, and custom made, which type would you suggest as the very first diaper for a newborn? Thank you in advance for your help

I am pregnant with my first and my husband and I do absolutely everything we can to do the 'right thing' for our environment so it only made sense that we take the cloth diaper plunge. I must say that it is easier said than done! Your site has been very helpful in deciphering the enigma that is the world of cloth diapers.

I am wondering what your opinion is on SoftBums Perfect Fit All-In-2s. Have you tried this diaper? The company claims that you, not a company or seamstress in a shop, tailor fit this diaper according to your baby's needs and that you can use the same diaper from birth to PT.

I would really like to get your opinion because I value the honesty that is evident in all of your posts. I love that you won't write a 'fluff' piece for a product! Thank you!
