    Dragonfly Magic are fantastic They are a little bulky on the smaller baby but we've been using them since R was 4 months (I think...not too sure as memory is fuzzy) and they are still going strong and she's 20mths. The only thing that might not work is that if you have a super chunker because they are a tad narrow in the crotch. They are an AI2 and the design is unique in that they have a clever use of elastic so they gather up snug on the legs and as bub grows they just go with them.

    I have also been using blueberry pockets since R was 6 weeks old!

    I've used Green Kids, Bumgenius & Happy Heiny OSFM from birth. Bumgenius were the best from a small size. All have worked well for us with a skinny legged boy. I also have Blueberries and love them. My fave are Green Kids though because they work so well and have never once failed us. The funtimes are useless though due to wicking. My son is a big 2.25 year old and he still has some room to go in these nappies so I think they'll all get us there. I think he'll be a late TTer though so being a big boy and late might push it a bit... we'll see.

    Oh bummer, those were the ones I was looking at. The designs were cute. What kind of inserts do the Green Kids come with?

    I only have a couple of the funtimes and I just use them for day sleeps, or short periods (such as when I know bedtime is coming up). The minkytimes are good and you can get some patterns on them. Green Kids come with hemp or bamboo inserts so they will last a long time/take heavy wetting. I much prefer the bamboo as my son's pee makes the hemp smell and they're also not as absorbent.
