Need some newborn CD advice?

Hello all!

  I am a longtime lurker but this is my first bump post.  My husband and I are pretty sure that we would like to CD our child but neither of us have first-hand experience with it.  I found someone who is willing to let us buy their Kissaluv NB diaper system (includes over 30 diapers, 10 covers and cloth wipes) for under $200.  However, since we have no CD experience we aren't sure if we should jump on the deal or hold off and do a trial to get a better idea of what works best for us (as I have seen many of you recommend in other posts).

 So I guess my questions are: Is that too great of a deal to pass up?  How long is a baby likely to be in size 0 diapers anyway? (I don't want to waste money if we'll only use it for a few weeks and will then be able to put the baby in one size diapers that we have already bought).  Clearly I'm no expert so I'm looking for some kind of guidance.  Thanks!

I would say to buy them.. Sounds like a great deal to me.. If you were to rent them you would still have to pay the 200$ up front for them plus renting fee and if something happend to the diapers you would have to pay for them.. You could always resell the diapers that you did buy in newborn sz.. So you would be getting half your money back.. Just my though on this.. Hope it helps

That sounds like a great deal.

DD was in nb diapers for almost 3 months

You can also resell when you're done with them too. Keep that in mind.

Thank you both for the advice!  I thought it sounded like a great deal and didn't want to pass it up but I also didn't want to make an uninformed decision.  Thanks again!

For a normal size baby that is a great deal. My DS was tiny at birth and the Kissaluvs were a bit bulky but worked and they fit until 12lbs or thereabouts depending on the way the baby is built. We could use them for about 3 months or more but not sure what is typical. I liked out BG Bamboo fitteds better but they aren't making them anymore.
