Diaper Swappers

RockinLou · 02-27-2013, 06:50 PM

Oh, adding that DD was 6lbs too and wore preemie size Huggins for 2 weeks before newborn diapers fit her, I was waiting on One Size to fit her to start cloth at the advice o so many people, but it was awful, she could have worn a newborn stash for 5 months, she was only 12 pounds at 6 months! 4 years later she is still a 5th percentile kid.

Subbing to a great thread! DD was born 6 lbs 14 oz, but we didn't start CDing until around 8 lbs, with my stash of BG 4.0 and Flips, with the flip inserts and standard infant pfs! Extremely bulky but worked. I actually believed OS were OS, and could fit at 8 lbs. I WISH WISH WISH I would've had NB dipes!

Eta: The trimmest of these were a BG 4.0 stuffed with only the NB insert.

Mia is 3 months old and just now 12lbs. She was born 6.11lbs and has been a slow grower but she is growing.

She is our teeny tiny miracle baby.

Didn't work
Rumparooz newborn covers
Simplex NB
BG 4.0

Worked
Flips.....crazy enough I was able to fold the front down a little and fasten it and it wasn't a terrible fit. I used Aplix only.
Thirsties size 1 covers over trifolded preemie prefolds
Sunbaby size 1 with preemie prefolds

Here is a few pics of my newbie...she was a 36 weeker and came home weighing 6.13 and 19 in long.

Lil Joey, fit but I didn't like it.

HH mini os. Horrible fit

Short Rounds nb fitted. Awesome fit from the start, nice small leg holes.

Osocozt better fit pf. Same size as gmd orange but mine are thicker and softer.

Under a preemie imse vimse organic cotton cover

Gerber flat, nice and small. Fit well under the nb Bummis Super brite (which she has just outgrown at almost 8 lbs)

upcycled woolies I made over a pf...just cause im proud of it...lol

BG xs fit ok, but she peed right through them

nb Alvas fit good now at almost 8lbs, they're kinda big
wash cloths worked great trifolded under the bummis sb cover!!!

Cool thread

DS1 - 6lbs, 8oz. Got down to 5lbs, 4oz.

Worked (we started CDing after his cord fell off)-
kissaluv size 0's
thirsties duo size 1
softbums echo with a doubler inside

Didn't work -
Everything else we had

Mostly OS pockets, and infant prefolds.

DS2 - 7lbs even, lost only a few ounces

What worked -
XXS bitty bliss fitteds
NB snickelfritz
NB imagine and diaper rite prefolds

What worked, but not under the cord:
Bummis superlite and superbrite, size nb
kissaluv Os
softbum echos with thirsties duo size 1 pfs (nighttime diaper)
XS BGs

What didn't work -
nikky nb wool wraps (bad fit)
lil joeys (leaked, did not fit under the cord)

DD2 - born at 5lbs. 13oz. and down to 5lbs. 7oz. when we started CDing

Didn't work -
BG XS (came up to her armpits and had blowouts)
NG Grovia AIO (fit perfectly but wicked horribly)
Lil Joeys (fit was great but every single one leaked)
WAHM AI2 called Little Angel
WAHM AIO by mountainsidecedarconcepts

What worked -
NB Simplex (the legs gapped but, amazingly, never leaked.....ever!)
Blueberry Mini Pockets
WAHM AIO TeenyTinyHiney

I didn't own any for the nb phase, but I think the Thirsties Duo AIO Size 1 would have fit also because the leg holes snap down so very small.

My daughter was 5.9 at birth and dropped to around 5. We used bikini twist for prefolds. My favorite covers were actually green acre designs small pockets. The side snapping helped on skinny legs.
