Premature/ Super Tiny Cloth Nappies - HELP!

I have just come home from hospital following the birth of my beautiful daughter (DD2) born at 37weeks but only weighing 4lb 11oz.
She not just small baby by weight- she is very petite in body shape and currently we are using 1 of 2 options for nappies..
1. Pamper premature nappies - supplied by the hospital as a temporary measure (for babies on NNU weighing usually <3lbs)
2. Pamper 'micro' nappies - which even these we have to fold down as to not drown her!

We use cloth nappies exclusively on DS1 and had a whole stash of 'extrasmall & small' nappies ready for our new bundle to use!

We have a huge selection of different types - however they ALL drown her and would offer no containment around the legs for BF poo. (ittis- measure up to the armpit, bambooty/tots bots - splints her legs to the side, teenyfits - ridiculously massive! and haven't got any idea about wraps that would fit!)

Has ANYONE got any other ideas? without us spending a fortune - but then the thought of paying out week in week out for sposies.....
I had thought of using a cloth wipe as absorbancy - but what about the waterproof part??
Even a nappy nippa almost reaches all the way around her waist

The only one that we have that might come close to working a little bit is a BG AIO XS - but even this needed folding down at the front and the velcro tabs overlap & sit over the hip - not sure they'd cope with explosive BF poo?

We need help!

how about using muslins cut down as prefolds???

That had been an idea we had, but how about waterproof wrap/ holding it in place?

i agree with the muslins idea - i used them on dd who was a large baby, but i see no reason why it wouldnt work on a small one too.

i also did a google search for 'prem washable cloth nappies' and this was the first link: http://www.prem2pram.co.uk/kushies-wash ... -p-32.html

haven't looked any further but you might find other options too.

eta: i forgot to say ... congratulations on the birth of your new daughter

I haven't seen or tried one but Totsbots Teenyfits are supposed to fit from 5lbs so they might fit ok? I think I remember reading somewhere that they do/have done preemy nappies too but not sure. ETA Minki do preemie nappies -

can you knit? or know someone/can ask someone on here to do it for you? A simple wool wrap in newborn size (or smaller) and nippa'd over those prem kushies (so cute!) might work?

Congratulations!!!

My ideas - muslins - could be cut down easily if they're too bulky full sized. You might need to fasten with a pin if a nippa is too big. Waterproof wraps could be tricky - but quite a lot of WAHMs do fleece soakers which are very affordable and could be made up very fast I'm sure? Oh, and prorap do a preemie size wrap which could be used for pad folded muslins / terries (cut to suitable size?). I'm sure there are others but this is the first one I found!:

Also - nappies by minki do a preemi / doll nappy which is a fully functional AIO:

HTH! And post some pictures pleeese!!

Firstly congratulations!!!

My dd was 5lb 6 & really skinny- the nappies by minki were a good fit, but they're not very absorbent (then again nor are the micro nappies!!!!)

Ds was 6lb 13, but he's got really skinny legs/ no bum & I'm finding that the TeenyFits are just too gappy on the legs....

Hi. My little girl was tiny too. I found that bambino mio wrap x small was the best fit. She had (well still has) really skinny legs no waist and no bum! Also I used x small fuzzis with a single booster in.

Congrats on a tiny girl just think you'll get maximum usage out of clothes!
