My bub is just over 3 months and of average weight and she is only just now starting to fit into the multi-size nappies and they still look really big on her. When they are newborn, i reckon it is easier to use fitteds (newborn size nappies) or prefolds or flats, and then go to the multi-size ones bit later.
They are definitely more cost effective. You also have a choice whether you want a budget stash, a rolls royce stash or somewhere in the middle. I have bought a lot secondhand, which has allowed me to trial a number of brands and cut down the costs.
There is heaps of info in the cloth nappy section on bellybelly. Have a look at the cloth nappy chatter thread. For absorbency, i like nappies with bamboo material. My fav brands are greenkids and baby beehinds, i want to try itti bittis too.
For a newborn i like maz-a-licious prefolds, and i made my own prefolds. baby beehind PUL covers, motherease rikki PUL covers, bambino mio PUL covers and maz-a-licious fleece covers. Fitted nappies- kissaluvs, sandy's, swaddlebees
