Little Lamb nippas

Hi just wondering if you can help, my little one isnt here yet so I'm going to order in a few weeks but I'm thinking of going with the LL nippas as I havent actually heard anything bad about the LL yet. Anyway, I read that to save money you could buy the size 2 and not bother with the size 1 (obv just fold the front down as it's fastened with the nippa) and it would just be a slightly bulkier nappy to start with. I certainly won't be having a little baby as his dad is no midget and I look like I'm carrying twins (I'm not ) so I don't want to get size 1 if I'm only going to get to use them for 5 minutes.
Anyway back to the point, has anyone actually used the size 2 from about 2/4 weeks (this is when I hope to start using) and does it work?
Same question for tots bots please??
Thanks

I tried that with Tots Bots Bamboozles - my DD was about 9.5 lb when I started using size 2s alongside my size 1s at 4 weeks old and they were huuuuuge - they were so bulky when I had folded the front down; I didn't really end up using them.

TBH I can't imagine it working except for nights, they'd just be HUGE!!!!

I had some sz 2 popper bamboozles and could only use them at nights and t hat was when Summer was about 5 months!

I've never used LL or size 2 on a newborn. But just to echo Frances - we used TB size 1 (which are very similar) and they were enourmous on a newborn bum. And Iris wasn't a tiny baby (she weighed 8lb 15oz at birth). Personally, I'd buy some pre-loved smaller sizes and get fitted nappies to fit as your LO grows. Trying to save money buy only buying one size of nappy might be a bit of a false economy - if they don't work, they might put you off. Plus you might find that you want bamboo size 2 (particularly if your LO is a heavy wetter), whereas you wouldn't need that kind of absorbency for a newborn; in the early days you'll really rate speed of drying with all the nappy changes you'll be doing!

Oh, just for comparison, Iris outgrew size 1 TB at about 6 months, IIRC.

I'm sure sz 1 TBs and LLs would still fit Summer now! Though she does still fit in her small NL and her small BBSS, but I decided last time she wore it that I will be putting it away soon as the rise is quite low!

TBH, one of the reasons we stopped using size 1 TB was the rise issue. A builder's bum isn't really a good look for a nappy. But that was in November, so we had a lot of use from them.

Iris seemed quite tall compared to Summer though, Summer's just destined to be a short arse like her mummy and daddy, not sure where Jak gets his HUGENESS from

Iris is bang on the 50th centile for height but only the 9th for weight - so she seems taller than she is. She's just skinny. Takes after me. Poor thing.

Jak is huge. But still in proportion. How do they do that! Summer gets way too many compliments. He's a little cutie, you know.

He's on the 90th for height and the 98th for weight so pretty in proportion, and I agree Summer gets too many comments, people always used to say what a gorgeous little girl Jak was (he had long hair) right up until Summer was born then it just stopped, poor boy, I think that's what happens when there's something diddier around IYKWIM and with Summer still being so small she looks like an ickle (ish) baby still!


Sorry for getting a bit off topic here!
