Diaper Swappers

jamiectw · 04-19-2006, 09:06 AM

I'm still trying to complete my newborn stash and am looking for fitteds, covers, and pockets. I would love to see pics of newborns with good fitting diapers on to help me narrow down my choices. I only need to see from the belly button to the knees to determine fit (for those that don't like to post pics of your babies). Right now I have a Kissaluvs 0, Itty Bitty Bums newborn, and Angeldry fitteds and pockets. The IBB are ALOT smaller than my other nb dipes so I'm wondering if I need more of those or if I'm just not going to get any use out of them. I would love your opinions and any pics you're willing to share or links to pics. Thanks!

I think she's about a month here- that's as close as I can find to a newborn photo. That's a Bella Bottoms fitted.

Awwwww! How precious! How much did she weigh in that picture? What else did you like to use on her? Sorry for all the questions I'm just so unsure of what to get/use for a newborn.

When she was still pooping almost every change, I found that I liked prefolds under a cover a lot, and fuzzibunz. Now that I've branched out a little more, I like fitteds a lot! It gets air to her bum and prevents icky rashes. I think that's my big recommendation, make sure the baby gets lot of breathing time for the bottom. Bella was getting a lot of rashes when we constantly used a PUL cover, but now that we spend a lot of the day at home with coverless fitteds we've had no rashing at all. I think in that photo she was around 9 lbs, she was 7'1 at birth. I think most babies can fit into smalls pretty soon, as long as you don't have a super tiny one!

We're going with mostly smalls, FYI. I just got my first bundle of FBs.

Well my son was 7.5 pounds at birth but I didn't CD him until he was 4 months and by then he was in a medium. He was a butterball, he gained weight SO rapidly. I do really like fitteds and pockets. For covers I will probably go mostly with fleece.

i'll try to get pics in a few...

This is a BBL tester. . . but AJ was 9lbs 9ozs at birth, so it was a tight fit!

We used FBs a lot, and prefolds with a cover (I like Bumpy Wool by Imse Vimse). I also put longies on him a lot instead of a cover. Kissaluv 0s work pretty well, but my big boy didn't fit in them for very long.

My son was 7lbs 5 oz at birth and these picts were taken within days of that (he gained his weight back by day five so these are between 6 13 and 7 5)

This is a small GAD and a small swaddelbees. He leaked out of both of them, but since I am new to cding I don't know if i just didn't stuff them enough or if the fit was wrong. We have had great success with our kissaluvs and babykins AIOs.
