Please recommend a diaper for a newborn

AlligatorAlligator
in Cloth Diapering

My 1st son wore BG 3.0's from about 1 1/2 months until potty trained. He was a big boy though. I have 6 Kissaluv 0's and 2 covers. We used these with my oldest in addition to disposables. We'd like to eliminate the disposables completely this time around, but it is our last baby and don't want to spend a ton on newborn diapers. We are assuming that this baby will also grow like a weed and can then wear L's BG 3.0's. What do you recommend?

Thank you! Big Smile

    I'd go with prefolds if you're looking for something inexpensive.

    Green Mountain Diapers make a good one.  With the 6 fitteds you already have, I'd get 24 prefolds and 3-4 more covers.

    I love Bummis. I used these from day 4 and didn't have any leaks. I had 5 NB (4-9lbs). My daughter is still wearing the NB size and is now close to 12lbs. Also they are really inexpensive.

    If you liked fitteds, there are a couple rental programs for Kissaluv's & covers. I thought about it but decided since we're planning on a second child, it made more sense to buy a stash.

    Here's one that I looked at: https://www.modernclothdiapers.com/catalog/newborn-diaper-rentals-21-1.html

    How big were your other babies when born?  I would do yellow edge prefolds from GMD if they were over 8 lbs.

    I have 30 unbleached Indian prefolds, 2 snappis and 6 thirsties duo diaper wraps covers (size 1) for DD and it's working great!

    We've liked prefolds, KL0s and the GMD workhorse fitteds with covers for our newborn.
