Newborns and NOT using flats

[visitor1]

Im not a huge fan of flats.....or a cover/nappy system...

I have heaps of BBH and CT...are they any good on a newborn? Not that id have a clue how to make them smaller to fit...maybe i should try!

But is this the best way to go for a newborn?

Id rather an AIO/Pocket kind for BumbleBee

Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of flats either. I did use the BBH from newborn without problem, but then she was a big bub at 4.1kg. It's easy to get them to fit, you just fold down the front so the inside snaps are visable. But practise a couple of times first! I also liked the BG onesize. They come with a newborn insert now, which made them a good fit. A lot less bulky.

I never used cloth with C until she was 9 months old...and J was about 4 months.

Ash was 5kg born so probably not the best to go by buy we LOVED CT and BBH from the start, we used longies/mother ease rikki covers/BBH pul covers and had great success. I used flanny flats for about 2 weeks before I chucked that in because Ash was just weeing SO much!
I also used BG OS with great success They fit Ash great!
Oh and small bubblebubs

I wasn't a fan of the prefold/flat system either Dom has been in AIO's since he left hospital (tried disposies for a day but he reacted to them) We had some newborn old style magicalls, XS bubblebubs and small ittis. He was 8.5lb so rather average and we had no problems. Only 1 blowout so far **touch wood** We also used kiss-a-luvs for night/home use - still use them with some boosting the majority of our stash though is bubblebubs an magicalls (new smooth and pre BBH styles)
