Which cloth nappy option is the best way to go for a newborn?

[Willow]

Bek - I've also been mulling this over because I know with DS I couldn't get my head around cloth for about 10 weeks so have been thinking of just doing sposies till bub is big enough to fit into my stash of OSFA pockets. I also have some BBH and mandy mac fitteds and a LURVLY BB chicky has lent me some more nb stuff. I'm not a fitteds/flats and cover kinda girl to be honest.

BUT - I remembered this morning that with DS I had some Whizz Kidz nb fitteds and I LOVED them. I Only had 3 so nowhere near enough but I only paid $10 for them and am going to go hunting for some more. They were great.

I'm an eejit and sold 2 of the three I already had, plus two of my nb covers - yanno, not having any more babies and all but planning on spending up before bub gets here this time. I didn't buy enough nappies for DS last time cause I figured I'd try what I had and see which were the best fit/which I liked best but by then obviously I wasn't working and financially it wasn't all that easy to just go buy a heap of nappies.

I am getting DS a whole heap of itti d'lish because they are the best nappy on him by far. He's been it the large for months, we could have gone the medium but I wanted to get more use out of them. He has about 6 now and I'll get him at least 8 more (we use sposies overnight for DS because he wakes if he's in cloth).

So for the new bub I'm taking all the BBH fitteds (which I only ever used on DS at night anyway) and all of his bumg and baby kanga pockets. He was in those by about 12 weeks.

OK, that was a novel, but just trying to nut all this out myself before bub arrives so I know what I have to buy.
