    Newborn fitted recommendations please?

    I haven't done fitteds before and I really have a thing for trimness that I can't seem to get past. Maybe if I get a heavy wetter etc, that will change fast, but in the meantime, can anyone recommend some trim options?

    I'd prefer not OSFM and I know I'll be changing fairly often, so I guess absorbency isn't a major issue in the first couple of months.

    I'm open to WAHM/ebay options too - the cheaper the better actually.

    Would love to hear all suggestions!

    I bought six BamBams from Bubblebubs which use a snappi & am really liking them, I also got a couple of sherpa Happy Heinys that are good. I think they are both about the same thickness with the BamBam booster as a bifold.

    In a month Mr I has grown out of the small minkee cover I got from Bubblebubs, but not the small Mothereze Rikki by a long shot or the small Babybeehinds cover.

    spunkbutts and busy bee do snappy fitteds.

    Spunkybutt's do customs (eg made as you need)

    Busy bee is on WAHMnaps but is due with a bub next month so I dont know if she has any stock up atm

    I had ds in Busy bee and loved them. He probably fit the newborn size for a fair bit too if i recall.

    The busy bee snappiable fitteds are great I found! I also liked kissaluvs and very baby.

    Bizy bees are out for now, might have to try back next year.

    Thanks for the other suggestions, I will have a look at them all.

    Is there anybody that makes cheap flannel or cotton ones? I'll probably head back to AIO or pockets when bub is big enough, so I don't want to overspend on fitteds for a newborn, IYKWIM?

    I love Baby Beehinds Bamboo nappies - They normally fit til toilet training.

    When Baden was a newborn I actually used prefolds with PUL covers - now I use the pre folds as boosters
