Newborn sizes?!

Question

Any cloth diapering veterans out there??

My husband and I are trying to decide how many (if any) newborn sizes diapers to get!

Will a "one size" diaper with prefolds or inserts be sufficient if our girl is born over 5lbs?

Help! Haha

Answer

If your baby is that small, the legs gussets will be too large on one size diapers for a few months. You can find Happy Flute newborn diapers for cheap on AliExpress (~$5 each).

Answer

Charlie banana one size fits at 6 pounds.

Answer

I decided to skip the newborn size and used disposables for the first few weeks. I figured with a new baby I'd barely have time to figure out anything or do a lot of laundry, plus he'd grow out of them very fast.

Which was a good idea for me personally because I ended up having a c section as well so that would have only added to the stress. My son started fitting in his Grovia AI2's at around 4 weeks when he was about 10 pounds. He may have fit a bit sooner but I frankly forgot about trying until he got a diaper rash from Pampers....

Answer

I would plan on 12/day and then decide how often you want to wash. So I would do 30minimum. One size won't fit till they are at least 12lbs. You can rent the newborn size which might be a better option if you don't want to spend all the money on your own stash.
