Newborn Nappies

Ok, so tell me what you used on your newborns. :coolbaby:

Its early days yet and I'm just collating a nice (big) list so thought I'd ask everyone what they used. I didn't use cloth on Zach until he was 10 months.

I am very excited about using them on baby and plan to have a big selection of different nappies, I'm happy to have idea for sized and one-size, 2 parts and pockets and will probably buy some of all types including ickle size 0s too.

DH doesn't have any idea what I'm going to be up to LOL!!!!

Hmm BGs were fab from day one, as were my XS fuzzis, and NB swaddlbees, and bamboo squares were good for a few extra cheap nappies in the early days when they go through LOADS, and also really neat and trim! Summer is quite diddy and most OS look huge on her, BUT they do the job!

swaddlebees newborn (pricey for what they are, but cute :wink: )

anything flat fronted, side snapping in bamboo velour :D :D

I swore by diddy diapers (very good for containing, ahem, explosions!) and they're still going strong (DD is 3 months now) AND they're really good value. Also thirsties XS were good and kissaluvs have a special popper for newborn umbilical cords. Mostly I would say a two parter is a definite must if you intend to breast feed!

For 2 parters Little Lambs were our staple, I really liked the bamboo ones and liked the wraps too. Also like Bambineos (or bambinex or whatever they are calling them these days) much better than Bamboozles. We had a Swaddlebees OV newborn but and that was very cute but only lasted a few weeks so not a great purchase. Found Bimbles cute but didn't last long, Diddy Diapers were better and I liked that they were fleece lined. Rikki wraps are always a firm favourite with us.

In terms of pockets we had small Fuzzis which were good in the early weeks but I quickly found that he outweed them and I couldn't stuff them with much more as then I struggled to get a good fit. I gave up using them quite early and much preferred Bumgenius (which really surprised me) Funky Nappies and Happy Heiny Onesize were (and still are) great for Ben and now our favourite are Itti Bittis. He has really only just grown into his Blueberry Onesize.

For night time from very early on (as Ben never pooed in the night I stopped changing him after only a few weeks) we used Baby Beehinds and Swaddlebees OV onesize and are now moving him into Night Notions.

How exciting for you, teeny tiny nappies. Hope this helps :D

Hi - am new to this but thought I would add my thoughts! I didn't use cloth with DD1 or DD2 but was determined this time around. I bought 4 to start, a thirsties fab fitted, mother-ease sandy's xs, tots bots bamboozle and tots bots flexi-tot. My thinking was to experiment and then go for the one I like most. However, have loved them all. The mother-ease and thirsties were good when DD3 was teeny. No probs with leaking or anything. I have used fleece liners as it keeps her bum nice and dry.Now DD3 is 9 weeks and I have splashed out on a selection of those four brands again. It's such a pretty world and I'm becoming addicted.......
