We used Bum Genius newborn AIOs prefolds/Thirsties covers/snappi fasteners. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-120521 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 21:40:39 +0000 skibobrown 120521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started her on her 4th day of life. For now we are using rented newborn cloth diapers. The rental is from Diaper Daisy, I can't remember the brand of the diapers, but they're designed to fit under the umbilical stump for newborns. </p> <p>I have a full drawer of BumGenius and Fuzzibunz pocket diapers waiting for DD as soon as she fits into them. A that point we can send back the rented newborn diapers. I have a feeling that won't be for another 6 weeks or so, but we'll see...</p> <p>DD is currently about 6.5 lbs, and she was just under 6 lbs when we started her in her newborn cloth diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-120468 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 21:17:48 +0000 Navy_Mommy 120468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have 2 Jungle Roo diapers that are on their way but shouldn't be here for a while since I ordered them from Zulily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-120462 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 21:16:15 +0000 Navy_Mommy 120462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrstilly: hahaha, I have a crazy variety...lemme see if I can remember them all:</p> <p>Covers - Econobum OS, Bummis (size small {I think}), Palm Tree OS<br /> Then I have 2 covers that I sewed myself; one is "newborn" size (the pattern said up to 10 pounds) one is size small</p> <p>Hybrid diapers - Best Bottoms OS, Flip OS, Grovia OS<br /> And I also have flat diapers to use with the hybrid covers sometimes, they're swaddlebees</p> <p>I also have 2 itti bitti diapers which are considered snap-in-ones but I consider them closer to pockets than hybrids. 1 is a Tutto (which is a OS) one is a d'lish (which is a sized diaper - it is size small which is for 8-16 pounds)</p> <p>Pockets - Rumparooz, Bumgenius 4.0, fuzzibunz elite, happy heiny, kawaii</p> <p>AIO - Ones &amp; Twos, Tots Bots </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-120426 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 21:05:12 +0000 sulli301 120426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't start using them full time until DD was around 2 months! For the next baby we will use them as soon as the tar poo goes away. You could always get a few newborn diapers in cloth &amp; ease into it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-120423 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 21:04:09 +0000 Navy_Mommy 120423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: So jealous your son's cord fell off so quickly!!! I can't wait till DS's cord to fall off; it's pretty long and I feel like it's always poking his tummy 8-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-120365 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:48:27 +0000 cvbee 120365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We splurged for newborn size AIO by Grovia, so we plan to start right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-120288 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:32:02 +0000 mrstilly 120288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did not do newborn diapers since I expected a big baby. He popped out at 10lbs 9oz. We were able to use one size dipes from the beginning. We waited until his cord fell off which was 3 weeks. </p> <p>We started with sunbaby pocket dipes which were similar to bg 4.0s, but cut a bit smaller. He also fit into lawsuit and bg 4.0s. He did not fit into Flips or smartipants until about 15 pounds. </p> <p>What does your cd stash consist of? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-119780 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:42:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 119780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was just over 7 lbs when he started. He was a week old, his cord fell off right at one week.<br /> We started with one size fuzzibunz. They were big but they worked. We also used grovia hybrid </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-119750 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:33:23 +0000 pastemoo 119750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my newborn gDiapers have a snap down in front to lower the diaper for the cord stump... Do you have any of those?<br /> Or... just get some old fashioned diaper covers from a thrift store, and use the big square cloth diapers that you have to fold up.<br /> Or buy one pack of disposables :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-119680 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:06:57 +0000 Navy_Mommy 119680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I wish that had been a feasible option for us, but I couldn't justify the cost of newborn diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-119672 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 18:03:31 +0000 Arden 119672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm going to get some lil'joey newborn diapers with the snap-down front for the cord, and start using them from day one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-119646 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:24:13 +0000 ohapostrophe 119646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 days, probably just under 9lbs, bumgenius 4.0 OS. I think the thigh chunk factor is more key than weight though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-119317 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 12:24:06 +0000 Navy_Mommy 119317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I was assuming DS would be MUCH bigger at birth since I was almost 11 pounds, but he popped out at only 7 pounds 6 ounces! He's still so little...I'm excited to see how much he weighs tomorrow at his appointment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-119314 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 12:22:10 +0000 pelikila 119314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a newborn diaper rental so we could use cloth as soon as we got home from the hospital. We used kissaluvs size 0 fitteds with thirsties XS covers. My son didn't start fitting our one size cloth (FB or BG) until he was a good 10-12 lbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-119311 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 12:20:06 +0000 Mrsbells 119311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was hoping to start using cloth at 2 weeks... but we'll see how big the baby is by then </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-119310 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 12:18:59 +0000 Navy_Mommy 119310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: I think that's what I'm gonna have to wait for; trying to get a diaper on the little guy without covering the cord is just too awkward 8-/ </p> <p>Guess I have to go buy some disposables...at least I have a bunch of coupons! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-119267 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 11:49:40 +0000 heffalump 119267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited till she grew out of newborns, which only took 2 weeks. She was 8 lbs 13 oz at birth. We only have BG AIO OS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-119258 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 11:46:54 +0000 MsMini 119258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our plan is to start as soon as the cord stump falls off, even if they look huge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-using-your-cloth-diapers#post-119253 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 11:43:16 +0000 Navy_Mommy 119253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was hoping to start using our cloth diapers before having to buy our own disposables but we're almost out of the stash of disposables we got from the hospital (DS is 11 days old - he was 7 pounds at his 2 day check up, I'll find out how much he weighs now tomorrow at his 2 week check) and I tried putting a CD on him and it was HUGE! Not to mention his umbilical cord still hasn't fallen off and I know you aren't supposed to cover it with a diaper.</p> <p>So, when did you start using your cloth diapers (age/weight)? What kind (type AND brand...I have a huge variety, lol) did you use most comfortably at first?</p> <p>I really don't wanna go buy a pack of disposables...8-( </p>
