I let a friend borrow them though. We use hemp doublers at night. citymouse on "Pre-fold Diaper Users, Did you start with Newborn or Size 1?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-fold-diaper-users-did-you-start-with-newborn-or-size-1#post-1126519 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 14:27:09 +0000 citymouse 1126519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Silva: Not a cost issue, just trying to really be lean about it. Trying to wring the savings out of going this route! I guess I could sell them if we end up having a big baby and the size 1 is a better fit? Would you use them as doublers now? autumnlove on "Pre-fold Diaper Users, Did you start with Newborn or Size 1?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-fold-diaper-users-did-you-start-with-newborn-or-size-1#post-1125642 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 09:55:15 +0000 autumnlove 1125642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @citymouse: They still work right now and she is around 16 or 17 lbs! :-) runsyellowlites on "Pre-fold Diaper Users, Did you start with Newborn or Size 1?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-fold-diaper-users-did-you-start-with-newborn-or-size-1#post-1125601 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 09:41:16 +0000 runsyellowlites 1125601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We used newborns at first b/c the next size up swallowed P! She was 6lb 1oz at birth (5 14 at discharge) and wore them for quite some time... when she outgrew them we use them as doublers, sometimes tri folded as extra absorbancy with a reg sized prefold or to double stuff our pockets. SO even if they stop fitting by themselves quick, you can still get alot of use out of them.... Now I use a few as dust rags. ;) Silva on "Pre-fold Diaper Users, Did you start with Newborn or Size 1?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-fold-diaper-users-did-you-start-with-newborn-or-size-1#post-1125590 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 09:38:09 +0000 Silva 1125590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We used the newborn size (green mt diapers). They fit for 2 months. She was 7lb 2oz at birth. She is still in the small size at 5 months. They smalls would have fit, but been very bulky. We liked having the newborn size, but if cost is an issue you can skip them. citymouse on "Pre-fold Diaper Users, Did you start with Newborn or Size 1?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-fold-diaper-users-did-you-start-with-newborn-or-size-1#post-1125454 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 08:53:21 +0000 citymouse 1125454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @autumnlove: At what weight/age did they stop fitting? autumnlove on "Pre-fold Diaper Users, Did you start with Newborn or Size 1?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-fold-diaper-users-did-you-start-with-newborn-or-size-1#post-1125440 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 08:47:01 +0000 autumnlove 1125440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have Size 1s!
