    Question What is the best newborn cloth nappy?

    Getting a little ahead of myself, but I'm planning on using cloth on the next bubba (like there was any other choice! LOL). Caeleb has been wearing Bum Genius, which I'm aware are a one size, but I've been told that they're not overly effective on a newborn. So, I'm going to buy a set of newborn nappies.

    What nappy do you use on a newborn bum?

    TIA

    Celsie...hmmm...should we be looking out for an announcement in the near future

    I've wondered the same question too..but now I have got my mum into making nappies so she is going to whip a few nb and small fitteds, honeyboys, pref's and others which will hopefully do the job..Anyway interested in hearing what others say.

    Celsie I used flanny flats and covers on my DS when he was really little I found all the MCN I had (and I have got lots) all didnt fit really well. I have had him in Bum G and Haute Pockets since he was about 6 or 7 weeks old and havent had a problem with them.

    I had Euan in BumG and TotsBots Bamboozles from newborn and they were great. Euan was over 4kg at birth though - might have been different on a smaller bub. Most people wouldn't use pockets/AIOs on a newbie, especially OSFMs.

    Flats or prefolds (or fitteds) with a well fitting cover are the most popular choice it seems for the newbies, especially as they poo so often, containment is more important than absorbency.
