I'm thinking about using rumparooz nb covers and maybe some blueberry nb covers, as well as a bunch of random nb pockets and aio's I have stashed up. Just looking for good options!Brittany Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07018589408354999274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038703539030455261.post-1728979840166545632011-06-23T11:00:31.953-04:002011-06-23T11:00:31.953-04:00@riccig -

I did this for my daughter who is now 19 months. I still use half prefolds and half pockets. We now trifold the prefolds and lay in the cover, but if you do this for a newborn you will not be able to reuse your covers. <br />I am due in just six days now and can't wait!Andrea Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15443533655792685924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038703539030455261.post-81777220612574949642011-06-23T10:24:22.526-04:002011-06-23T10:24:22.526-04:00My husband and I are planning to cloth diaper our ...My husband and I are planning to cloth diaper our newborn when she arrives in September. I spent the last few months building up a one-size pocket diaper stash to get us through the bulk of our diapering years, so I want to try to build a reasonable newborn stash as affordably as possible. I think I've settled on pre-folds and covers. I have a dozen of the smallest bummis pre-folds (I think they are "preemie") and am planning to order a dozen more "small" pre-folds from oso-cozy or possibly green mountain diapers. I am not sure on covers though, so I am getting one or two of several types...a thirsties wrap, a bummis super lite, two rump-a-rooz...not sure what else yet! <br /><br />I have just heard so many good things about pre-folds and newborns. I only hope they work equally as well folded as inserts as they do folded and used with snappis...because I don't want to have to learn to do anything complicated!! Are you planning to learn the "fancy" folds for your prefolds or just fold them in thirds and lay them in the diapers?<br /><br />When is your little one due? I'll look forward to reading about your experiences!!riccighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08522541710979776977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038703539030455261.post-13576047508363586552011-06-22T01:26:05.944-04:002011-06-22T01:26:05.944-04:00This is my first child to cloth diaper and we clot...This is my first child to cloth diaper and we cloth diapered from about 3 days of age. I had great experiences using Lil Joeys, Applecheeks size 1, and Thirsties covers size one. I also used regular Rumparooz on the smallest setting (in snaps) and they also worked great (I did not try this until he was about 9 1/2 lbs though). <br /><br />I have a Fuzzibunz perfect size in small and it still gaps at the legs (and leaks) on my skinny-legged now 15 lb baby. <br /><br />Love your choice of a cover in Gumball (also my favorite print!). I had no idea Rumparooz made covers until recently and I have been looking for a Gumball cover ever since! <br /><br />I did not use a dryer with my Lil Joey's. I hung them over a drying rack and set the drying rack over a floor vent. I usually washed at night and they were dry by morning. So even without a dryer, a Lil Joey could be an option!Brandi Elamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16509782449126518532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038703539030455261.post-20052864745308981792011-06-21T12:12:04.093-04:002011-06-21T12:12:04.093-04:00I like reading about your plan, and can't wait...I like reading about your plan, and can't wait to read about how the diapers work out. I had all fuzzibunz one size when my daughter was born, but being a new mom and new to cloth diapers I was a little anxious about using them until she was about 2 and a half months old. Also, when their new even after the first couple washing they just seem so bulky for a newborn, especially for my daughter who was only 6lbs 3 oz when she came home and was a slow weight gainer until about 4 months. For the next baby, which we are hoping to try for at the end of the summer, I really want to use cloth from the beginning, since I've gotten so much experience over the past year. (We have the Ladder 6 Rumparooz, won it from Doable Diapers in fact(thanks again), and it's not too boyish for a little girl, with the bright colors it works great for girl or boy) :)dailymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11860051345224355060noreply@blogger.com
