It felt worth it at the time, especially because I wasn't sure how committed I was to cd'ing. It was from a local store, which I also liked being able to support.</p> <p>This time though, I bought a bunch of second-hand newborn AIOs. Even though it was a bit more of a financial outlay, I was more confident about what I would like. Plus I'm more familiar with the whole cloth diapering community in general, so if we don't end up having another, I'm pretty confident I can get most of the money back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-cloth-diapers#post-569494 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 19:40:20 +0000 birdofafeather 569494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it through earthy crunchy mama with the BG nb aios and we liked it but had problems with leaking. I didn't do a ton if research on the nb diapers but we had the BG 4.0s so I wanted to keep it simple. We went to our stash as soon as I realized she hit 9.5 lbs at 3.5 weeks. If I had to do it again, I would probably do disposables for the newborn period since nb diapers aren't too pricey and she wasn't in the rental very long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-cloth-diapers#post-569100 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 14:53:57 +0000 aprk 569100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For us, the convenience of getting this package instead of sourcing our own cheaper diapers was worth it, and we'll definitely use the $100 credit, too.</p> <p>I'm just excited because the fitted covers are so dang cute!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-cloth-diapers#post-568914 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 14:01:08 +0000 JoJoGirl 568914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: Yep NB BGs. Bummer about the leaking though!! Like @blackbird it's also twin city. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-cloth-diapers#post-568825 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 13:30:33 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 568825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I considered it, but then just used the disposables that I got from the hospital (they lasted for 3 weeks) and went right to BG 4.0 at 3 weeks. They fit just fine on the lowest rise settings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-cloth-diapers#post-568820 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 13:28:46 +0000 blackbird 568820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm renting from twin city diaper. I'm doing two months of bum genius ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-cloth-diapers#post-568795 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 13:14:50 +0000 Freckles 568795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Ooh, that's a pretty good deal! Are they NB BGs? I know some people have problems with getting the right fit for NBs and experience some leaking. We used NB kissaluvs fitteds and i absolutely loved them. I have to admit, i did not like prefolds at the NB stage and prefer them now that LO is a lot older! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-cloth-diapers#post-568785 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 13:11:17 +0000 mole 568785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were going to do a newborn rental, but it actually worked out better (and slightly cheaper) in the long run to just buy a combo of new and used diapers. We are planning on having two kids, and I wanted the freedom to pick and choose which diapers to try. Plus, we could always resell any diapers that we don't use or like. </p> <p>For the infant stage, we ended up with 12 infant prefolds, 4 kissaluvs size 0s, 4 thirsties size 1 covers, 6 flips (which will work longer), 7 bum genius newborn AIOs, 1 rumparooz pocket, 1 swaddlebees newborn simplex. All of that was around 200 bucks with tax and shipping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-cloth-diapers#post-568781 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 13:08:56 +0000 JoJoGirl 568781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: Our rental place is $55 for 8 weeks.. an extra $30 for 4 more weeks. I think that's for 24 diapers. BumGenius AIOs. I think if we were open to prefolds that might make sense, but we're trying to make this as easy as possible for newborn stage :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-cloth-diapers#post-568757 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 12:59:26 +0000 Freckles 568757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't, but that's kind of expensive, especially since it's not a real service as they aren't cleaning the diapers. </p> <p>I paid about $100 (maybe?) for 12 NB prefolds and 8 NB fitteds, and 2 NB covers. I had 8 flip covers from a friend. I wonder if it would be cheaper to buy and then sell afterwards, especially if you are thinking of having a second/third baby? I guess it works out okay if you are planning on buying from that store. It's too bad you're not getting money back instead of a store credit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-cloth-diapers#post-568726 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 12:48:36 +0000 knittylady 568726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are too! tagging part deux! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-cloth-diapers#post-568643 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 12:23:53 +0000 JoJoGirl 568643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to use a rental service so tagging! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-cloth-diapers#post-568532 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 11:57:03 +0000 aprk 568532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anybody used a newborn cloth diaper rental service/package before? </p> <p>Here's an example: <a href="http://www.sweetbottomsbaby.com/Organic-Diaper-Rental-Return-for-100-Store-Credit_p_14.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sweetbottomsbaby.com/Organic-Diaper-Rental-Return-for-100-Store-Credit_p_14.html</a></p> <p>How did it go for you?
