As in day 1, with the umbilical cord still attached. What did you use? Recommend away!!
I'm having trouble finding them with the snap downs/cut outs, was it necessary?

I know of a few that have newborn snap downs. Lil'Joey and Kissaluvs have snap downs, and GroVia are low rise enough to work. gDiapers tiny gpants also work.

I did some fancy snapping with my applecheeks, I think I snapped the top snap on the sides to the middle snaps on the bottom row instead of to the top row, then folded the diaper over a bit. Does that make sense?

@Arden: yeah I have looked at those... Gets a bit expensive for newborns though especially if u have a big baby! I was more thinking pre folds with covers... But I can't seem to find covers with cut outs etc. @Mrs. Superhero: ooooh now that's clever!

I think it's just hard to see the "dip" on some of the NB covers. Baby isn't here yet but I have a Prorap cover that has a dip: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Prorap-Newborn-Green-Classic-Cloth-Diaper-Cover-Gussets-/261107155102?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccb33009e

We started on day 4, so LO still had the cord attached. The best fit at that point was GMD prefolds in a newborn size with Bummis Cover. We could fold down the prefold so it fit under the cord. Also FWIW we waited until after the meconium was out- wouldn't want to have to clean that.

@scg00387: oh really? That's good to know!!
@Baby Boy Mom: yeah still debating about that.. I know some people have just used liners til it was out... -
We used kissaluv fitteds in the NB size and they have a snapdown button on the front. It worked well! My only regret was getting the velcro bummis covers because they sometimes grazed the cord.

@caffeinated: ouch!!

@caffeinated: Were you using the whisper wrap or the super brites? I was thinking of getting a couple newborn super brites since they have the cord notch, but if they brush up against it anyways maybe those aren't a good idea.
-
@MrsCB: They were the super brites. I didn't know they had a cord notch! I'm sure they're fine but i felt the edges were a bit stiff and would probably try and find something softer for the next baby.

I used gDiapers--their newborn pants are my favorite by far!
