The first 6 months (pre baby eating solids) is the best, funnest time for cloth nappies. I love fitted nappies with a cover on young babies. easier than prefolds and they seem to contain poo-splosions better than aios or disposables. especially if you are only thinking of doing it for a short term, with a newborn, go for sized nappies (newborn/small) rather than osfm.
