I am so glad to heard about new born diapers. I had a doubt, by this diapers new born baby will infected. I think many people didn't accept this diapers for a new born baby. But, its nice information. Thanks for sharing it.

What an helpful article! I've been doing a lot of research into newborn CD'ing lately. I too am pregnant with my second son. I didn't start cloth diapering my first until he was around 14 months old - so all my "one size" diapers are going to be a tad too big for a small newborn I think. You've done a lot of the detective work already. :) I think I'm going to go with Thirsties Duo Wraps in size 1 and a bunch of infant sized prefolds.

what do you do with the meconium? does it wash out? I used CDs with my first baby, but was advised to use disposables the first week until the meconium was gone, which worked great for me.

any ides for cloth diapering a newborn smaller than 9lbs. I got all set up to cd before my baby was born, but at a month old she is still about 8 lbs and the leg holes just look too big for her little legs. I have Thirsties size one, Apple Cheeks and Itti Bitti's - all too big still.

I just had a nine pound baby a week ago, and we've been trying out some newborn diapers around here. The babykicks bumboo fits but not as well as I had hoped it would, especially before her cord fell off. I actually love the little joeys even though they won't fit her for long, they were the best in my stash for going under her cord. We also used some Thirsties x-small from their older line; I don't have any of their new styles. The one size bumGenius!, Smartipants, and Fuzzibunz definitely didn't fit her. I also used a Katydid (fit really well actually) and some prefolds and covers, which also fit. I hope this helps!

We're doing infant prefolds with Thirsties covers with the little girl we're expecting in March until she's big enough to fit into our OS stash. We're only getting 24 dipes and 5 covers, since I'm going to be home the entire time we're doing the prefolds (at least I hope) and should be able to manage the laundry. A girlfriend of mine went this route with her newborn and it's going really well so far! It's nice to have friends willing to act as your guinea pigs. ;)

Good luck with your new little one!

I'm so glad you brought up flats and prefolds. So many people don't consider them, but they are the most cost effective option and do a GREAT job!
