We mostly used disposables until LO fit a little better into our CDs. Next time we'll probably start much earlier with NB sized fitteds and 1-2 covers. Actually, I prefer fitteds and covers 85% of the time. We use Workhorse fitteds from Green Mountain Diapers and I LOVE them! Great price and quality product.

We are renting a stash of newborn cloth diapers and then using AIO and pockets after that (BG's). We'll have the newborn rental for 12 weeks and then return them and get our deposit back. It will end up costing around $120 but I figured we'd spend way more than that on disposables and I want to get in the habit of using them before I go back to work. I was worried I wouldn't want to use cloth once I got used to the convenience of disposables but I didn't want to invest a ton of money into newborn diapers. This way I get to try a few different types of diapers and see what works best for him. Good luck!

I'm due in November.. I was going to do disposables until OSs fit until I read a mom blog saying she's changed up to 24 diapers in one day. Wow. $$!

I am going the prefold route and making my own covers, and bought 7 or 8 lil joeys AIOs for overnight. I figure the prefolds can be inserts later on or resold - I bought GMD which hold their resale value very well.

Diaperswappers.com' forum has lots of great newborn CD pictures & threads.

We used disposable until the BG 4.0s started working- but that was around 10 days for my chunky guy (born at 8lb11oz). They fit decently right away. I had two of the XS sized BG all in ones that fit a bit better though at first, so I'd maybe consider a newborn dipe rental next time!

We used gDiapers newborns from the day he got home from the hospital.

They snap down when the umbilical cord is still attached.

we used disposables until her belly button healed up normally, then we switched to cloth

We are planning to use a diaper service for the first 10-12 weeks, which will mean prefolds and covers. I'm registering for the diaper service, but my mom said she will pay the rest of it if not enough people get it for us as a gift. After that we are doing BG pockets and AIOs.

I used Grovia AIO newborns.

I loved cloth diapering from day one at home. They were so cute. By the end though, I was sick of their long-drying-time and was so glad that the pocket diapers dried so much faster.

Here's a pic of LO wearing his newborns, maybe at about 2-3 weeks old.

i was also looking into newborn cloth diaper rental for when LO arrives. earth crunchy momma seems to have a great deal as they include a ton of stuff in the rental price! it ends up being about $85 for a 3 month rental and then you get $90 back in store credit. that is for the premium rental which is BG newborn AIO or similar.
