I have used Gerber flats in the past, they will work but I didn't find them to be very absorbent, maybe doubled would be fine, may be bulky. Lots of people love the Walmart/ SAMs club or target flour sack towels. I haven't tried those but they are inexpensive and you could probably pick them up local.

Receiving blankets can make good flats in a pinch, so far gmd smalls are the best newborn ones in my opinion. I also love imse vimse 75g muslin squares for newborns cause they are so soft but they are discontinued and are not quite as absorbent as the gmd's.
