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
*Bump*
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.
HTH
I have some BG......quite a few BBH....maybe ill use them
how big were the girls Kim?
Chelsea was 3.3kg and Jasmine was 3.5kg
I never used cloth with C until she was 9 months old...and J was about 4 months.
Hmmm got any bumg's newborn? they should fit well...
I think I used small monkey D's as well...
But I have to say - when Miss M was first born - I used a lot of prefolds or fitteds and covers.....
My green kids are still a bit bulky on her now at 4 months... swaddlebees would be ok I guess? Itti's are great too...
God damn selling off all my MD's....
I have the one size BG's
How do you make GK small enough for little babies??
What fitteds did u use Mel?
for the gk - you put the insert in to where the velcro part starts - fold it over - there ya go - little sizing..
I used a fair amount of different fitteds, verybaby, ericas, fj's newborn is brilliant, ct's... ummm... thinking thinking.....kissaluvs.... ummmmm.... thats all i remember off hand - I sent off all my newborn stuff to friends to use with their babies....
Hmmm...ill have to look into more nappies...argh..maybe sposies are easier for a long long time!
KIM - slap slap & tsk tsk... ;)
sposies aren't as cute ;)
kim, I only have bbh, magicalls & itti bittis in my stash, and I've been using them on Emily since she was 2 weeks old. It's worked well. She was 3.65kg born, and quickly grew into a chubby baby. The bbh have always worked well for us at night. When she was a newborn, during the day she lived in magicalls & itti bittis.
I used flats with Nina when she was a newborn, never again!
So itti's are good hey....ive not tried them before.
love them! But they don't suit all babies. They would never suit Nina as she has wide hips, but Emily doesn't. Emily is long and narrow.
q - doesnt the meconium poo stain them? Thats why i was planning to use flat for the first week or so, i didnt want to ruin the "good" nappies lol
ray ray - i'm just going to line them with some old cut up cotton for the first few days to catch it
Good ol' sun should get the stains out!
Kim I'm not too fond of the AIO's so far except for bubblebubs. Am having no leaks with fitteds/flats/preflds and covers.
