Thirsties question

Do the Thirsty Duo size one fit newborns? I guess it probably depends on the size of the newborn but I don't know the size of my newborn yet so I am talking in general. TIA.

Re: Thirsties question

  • My DD was 8lb3oz & while we could have used Duos size 1 they were quite big on her.  It wouldn't have leaked b/c of the double gusset, but they don't have a divet for the cord area so when we tried to sue them 2-3 times it caused irritation & bleeding there so we stopped until it was well healed around 5 wks.  I preferred Bummis Super Brite for NB phase.  They are smaller (4-9lbs I think).  I've heard Proraps are good also for that new time.

    DD1 born 5/24/10.

    Missed M/C at 14 wks Feb 2012.

    DD2 born 5/14/13.

    Missed M/C at 9 wks July 2015.

  • By the time my girls came home from the NICU, their cords had fallen off so we never dealt with that with CD's. Thirsties Duo size 1 did fit them though from the time they came home at 5-6lbs. They were on the smallest size, but they worked. If you can find any, the XS Thirsties AIO worked very well in the early days too.

  • I used the thirsty duo size one wrap with my dd and she was only 6lb 10oz at birth. no problems. I have my doubts that it will work when she?s older. I just don?t see it fitting to 9 months, but we?ll see. no complaints so far.
