Newborn AIO Recs?

umctagga · November 2013

Hi all! I'm looking for some recommendations about what brands and types of newborn AIOs others have liked. I cloth diapered my first one, and we did prefolds with covers for the newborn stage to save money. The trouble is that I hated it. At 3 am, I just did not have the energy to fold a prefold, use a snappi, and then put a cover on a squirmy baby. I resorted to disposables and almost gave up cloth altogether. Once he was big enough for one-size, I realized I still liked the cloth. So for baby #2, I'm looking for a newborn diaper, preferably a velcro all-in-one. I'm looking for the easiest to put on the baby and to assemble after washing: the most like a disposable I can get. I'm open to pockets, 2-in-ones, or snaps, but with the number of newborn changes, easier is better. I have also had trouble with microfiber in the past and prefer the natural fibers simply because they have done better for me on absorption, but I'd like to hear people's experiences. What newborn AIOs do you like?

I haven't gotten to use any of my NB AIOs yet. Out of everything I bought I like the Simplex the best. I bought simplex lil joey's, GroVia aio, BumGenius aio, a blueberry pocket, a thirsties pocket, NB Charlie Banana pocket, and XS Fuzzibunz pocket.

NB Simplex. I did not like the Imagine nb AIO as they leaked out the side.

Imagine NB AIO was my favorite

Simplex and BG were my faves. I thought I would cry when I sold them.

I did not like the BG NB AIOs because DD outgrew the absorbency at 3 weeks old. And it was another 3 weeks before she could fit some of our OS diapers.

My favorite NB diaper that is not PFs or fitteds and covers is the Kawaii Pure & Natural pocket diaper. They are aplix and fit most newborns, but continue to fit until ~20-ish pounds. They come with microfiber inserts, but if you still have your nb prefolds from before you can stuff with those instead.

Newborn simplex. We have 15 and I wish I had had 30 of these! Super easy and clean well. All cotton inside. Will definitely buy more for the next LO.

We outgrew absorbency of the grovias at like 2 weeks. Loved bg, but we outgrew the waist.

The only newborn diapers we're still using (at 4 months!) are the Simplex. I love them and they are probably the only ones I will get more of next time.
