Softbums anyone??

Does anyone out there use the Softbums Echo System? That is what I registered for, but is it too good to be true that you only need one size? Any feedback would be great!!

Ditto pp on all accounts. 

I have 2 that I bought recently for use at daycare and just got done prepping the inserts.  I will be trying them out this week and I'll let you know what I think!

Softbums get pretty teeny tiny. I have an Omni, not an echo. They'll probabky be bulky on a newborn, though.

 

However I will say, IMO they're not totally useful for EBF poo. DD ALWAYS gets poop all ove the shell (which isn't wipeable) so I can't reuse it. I would hesitate to have that be my only system. 

Here's a picture of some diapers on a newborn, including a Softbums:

I actually just picked up mine today! I am still pregnant and have no experience with them. But, from what I've hear/read, they have great reviews! I am excited to get to use them.

I agree about the EBF poo, my son always gets it all over the shell.  They do get pretty small, they fit my 9 lb newborn at birth.  They seem comfortable and overall, I like them.

However, I have to put a piece of fleece in mine, because my son hates feeling wet and he gets a rash.

They fit my NB at 6 lb 8 oz (two weeks old) and get even smaller than she needs. But I agree about the poop, she's EBF and I can absolutely only use it once - she will get poop everywhere.

Ok good to know! I am planning on doing that, so that's interesting that their poop is different if you do, makes total sense!
