Cloth for a newborn

We're expecting our second baby and although early days I am starting to think about using cloth from birth this time.

I have lots of newborn/small wraps from last time which hardly got used and now LUcas is 17 months he's mostly in onesize pockets.

What might be best for anewborn for day and night use? I was thinking a folded muslin as a prefold with a wrap to start with? What about overnight?!

Any advice appreciated!

For the newborn stage I loved diddy diapers, xs owewhoahwhens and kissaluvs for fitteds and teenyfits for pockets.

In the first couple of weeks, I found a muslin Chinese folded in a small wrap worked well, I also had a couple of Lil' Joeys which were great (but after a couple of weeks she would out-pee them pretty quickly!), a lot of people like tots bots teeny fit, and I found that Rumparooz onesize goes small enough to get a nice fit on a newborn. Hope that helps!

my little one never slept through the night until about 6 weeks so night nappies won't be the top of my list for baba no2! we only started using cloth at about 6 weeks but little lambs were amazing then - fitted perfectly. i've got my stash ready to start when our next baby comes. xxx

We like Diddy Diapers, Thirsties, Sandys, Teenyfits, Real Easy XSs and BG AIO XSs. We used them from birth.

Muslins would have been totally useless on my heavy wetting newborn so I wouldn't recommend relying solely on them. Small bamboo terries or prefolds would probably be better if you're looking for a cheaper option. Before I deiscovered the loveliness of WAHM nappies DD2 wore diddy diapers, bimbles and bambeasies. DD3 has only worn WAHM nappies and I loved my XS Owe Woah Whens and Newborn Hollow Oaks for the first few weeks. I also had some Holdens Landings and Dunk n Fluff fitteds and a few Wee Notions pockets. Once she was sleeping for about 5/6 hours a night I used Little Gumnut All Hours nappies and still use them now.

I'd say muslin to begin with even of a night your changing so often.

I loved our bg aio xs & teeny fits.
I didn't discover oww fitted & wool till Eleanor was a little bit bigger, but wish we'd had some xs oww - they are fab nappies.
Im rediscovering prefolds at the moment - love the simplicity of them. With some tiny wraps they would be a good alternative from birth.

Bumps stash mainly consists oh OWW, HL's, DnF, a few teenyfits and little lambs x
