I wanted to share my experience with newborn AIO and cloth diapering from birth (well 2nd day of life when we got home from the hospital), these are my first impressions after a relatively short time. I can write an update as my LO begins to grow into and outgrow all her newborn diapers.
My baby is a little girl, weighed 6 lbs 7 oz (2900 g) and 49 cm at birth.
This is my NB stash:
8 Rumparooz Lil Joey NB (4 grey, 4 Marble)
9 Blueberry Simplex AIO NB
3 Mother-ease duo wizard Covers NB/XS
3 Smart bottoms AIO v 2.0
There have been some complaints from others about how the newborn AIO diapers fit when the baby has skinny legs, our LO has a proportionately sized belly so maybe that’s why we still had a really good fit with some NB AIOs, as long as the leg holes could be made right enough! (Actually a WAY better fit than the disposies we were given to use at the hospital).
Rumparooz Lil Joeys fit our scrawny lil baby, thin legs but with a small belly. These are really small and fit so well. BUT all the gutters and such mean that I turn them inside out and snapped to stay open to make sure there won’t be any poop traces somewhere in a seam. My husband apparently doesn’t do that and I haven’t noticed so, maybe I’m a little extra cautious. Saw poop traces in gutters after washing once or twice with the meconium diapers, which the stains came out of nicely! Then I had to hand wash them after they get out of the laundry. I bought these really cheap and they dry pretty fast so while waiting for her to grow into her other diapers I’m getting by on using the 8 I have, together with the 3 smart bottoms, and disposies if we are out. We are doing laundry daily though. I read so many bad reviews of these I was expecting not to like them and was regretting the purchase before even using them, so I really required convincing to like these!
Born smart v 2.0 by smart bottoms are amazing!!! They have the little cutout for the umbilical stump and they fit so well! They feel pretty absorbant, she pees them and they can get really heavy without a leak. They have an average drying time. These are great if you have a scrawny legged baby! I really wish I had bought more of these! The patterns are adorable, I will be ordering more of these.
The blueberry simplex NB are fast drying, but we haven’t been able to use them since the leg holes are so big on her. When I was holding LO the pee just ran out the leg hole! I will have to get back to you on these
We haven’t tried the MotherEase yet since there is no way they will fit! I really like how the material feels and the patterns though.
