I used disposables before that. I only had an out of the diaper up the back blowout one time, when he was 3 weeks old. But my LO was already 10 or so lbs at 2 weeks old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550852 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:06:13 +0000 JoJoGirl 550852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: lol.<br /> @pelikila: Thanks!!!<br /> @runsyellowlites: Thanks!<br /> @scg00387: Going to look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550850 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:04:43 +0000 runsyellowlites 550850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>RAR OS are the only OS I know that could fit from birth.</p> <p>We used a combo of prefolds, pockets, &amp; aio from birth until P was 10lb, over 3 months. It was a small stash that we washed daily &amp; cost around 150 bucks (still less than 3 months of sposies). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550846 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:02:45 +0000 pelikila 550846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: $10 per week. You put down a deposit and they deduct from your deposit $10 per week. They anticipate an 8 week rental and you send back everything at the end and can get a refund or store credit. <a href="http://www.diaperdaisy.com/Newborn-Diaper-Rental_p_212.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.diaperdaisy.com/Newborn-Diaper-Rental_p_212.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550844 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:02:35 +0000 blackbird 550844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>delicious and diapers, in the same post?

They hold resale value decently as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550835 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:58:08 +0000 JoJoGirl 550835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: That sounds delicious. How much was it? After the workshop I think fitteds + covers are my second choice after AIOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550828 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:55:19 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 550828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah it's all about the size of the baby. We started at about 2.5 months because that's when LO weighed about 10 lbs and they started fitting well. Before that we used newborn prefolds because it's such a short time I didn't want to spend too much on NB diapers. It was worth having a separate stash though because we still spent less than we would have on disposables in that time period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550818 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:51:40 +0000 pelikila 550818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: The rental option I used was from Diaper Daisy. It was 20 fitteds and 5 covers and was perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550815 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:51:16 +0000 autumnlove 550815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I don't remember....maybe 8? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550813 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:50:14 +0000 JoJoGirl 550813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: My concern with newborn AIOs is the investment! How many did you buy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550810 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:49:26 +0000 autumnlove 550810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't use one size diapers until she was around 11lbs. We used a combo of newborn AIOs, fitted, prefolds and disposables until then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550808 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:49:20 +0000 JoJoGirl 550808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: OOh what kind of fitteds and covers?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550807 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:48:51 +0000 JoJoGirl 550807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: Well crap, that's smart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550804 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:47:50 +0000 pelikila 550804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS didn't fit his one size cloth diapers until he was 12-14 lbs so around 8-10 weeks old. It all depends on the baby though. My son is long and lean and one size diapers just took awhile longer to fit well. We did a rental for 8 weeks for newborn sized cloth instead so we didn't invest a lot of money but could still use cloth from the beginning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550788 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:44:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 550788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started OS around 6 months when we started using CD's. At that point she was on the middle rise and a large baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550783 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:41:26 +0000 immabeetoo 550783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used lil joeys until he was about a month when he outgrew their absorbency. Some of our OS aios still don't fit we'll at ten weeks and 14 lbs. we also had fitted and prefold and with covers but used them less . I'm going to list them on the classifieds soon (prefolds fitteds and covers) if you're interested :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550776 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:39:19 +0000 JoJoGirl 550776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Good to know! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550769 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:36:16 +0000 heffalump 550769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: My LO was born 8lb 13 oz and it only took her a couple of weeks to fit into the diapers. But we have Elementals, Freetimes weren't available yet when we bought them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550767 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:35:04 +0000 heffalump 550767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Yes. My friend advised me to use disposable for a month because cloth would be too overwhelming with a newborn, so that was my plan. But once LO grew out of her newborn diapers at 2 weeks (she was a big girl) I felt ready to go to the cloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550765 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:34:11 +0000 blackbird 550765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also curious! Especially in regards to the freetimes...i hear they have a different fit than the elementals</p> <p>(PS how big were your babies when they fit into these AIOs?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550760 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:31:42 +0000 JoJoGirl 550760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Mind over matter. I like it. :) Did you use disposables before that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550758 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:31:02 +0000 heffalump 550758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm..... nobody told me this and we used Elementals when LO since LO was 2 weeks old with no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550757 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:30:58 +0000 jetsa 550757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm interested to see the answers on this because this is what I intend to do to. We are just planning on using disposables until the freetimes fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-size-aios-for-newborns#post-550752 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 15:27:05 +0000 JoJoGirl 550752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Greetings, I'm back from my PnP kick and have returned to cloth diapering questions.</p> <p>We went to our CD workshop this weekend, yay! One girl broke down in hysterical tears during it... apparently they have coin-op laundry. It was a little overwhelming.</p> <p>Anyway: the trainer said you can't use one-size CDs until the baby is 3 *months* old! What? Something about how newborns are constantly pulling their knees to their chest and diapers will gap at the bum. We are looking right now at doing Freetimes during the day and maybe fitteds + covers at night (double elastic for the win). Freetimes are one-size. This makes me worried that we won't be able to use our Freetimes FOREVER though! Anyone?</p> <p>ETA: What did you use in the meantime? </p>
