Charlie Banana OS on Newborn

Hi All, 

My husband and I just officially made the decision to CD our baby boy, due next month.  We had gone back & forth the entire pregnancy but ultimately decided that CD is best for us despite how "gross" our friends & families think it is. We are planning to start with the Charlie Banana OS with our newborn - wondering if any of you have had any luck with this. One of our larger appeals is that we're saving so much $ by going with CD & I don't want to have to buy newborn sizes & OS as it seems to defeat the purpose.. Any insight from those of you who have used OS from the start would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!

  • 1.  One size diapers rarely fit newborns, despite the name.

    2.  Even if you purchase a set of newborn diapers, you're still going to save money in the long run.  (Particularly if you plan to CD a second child later, or if you simpl

  • We have a few of the CB OS and use on the 2nd to smallest leg setting for our 6 month old. I was really drawn to CB and FB due to the adjustable leg elastics, but I don't think they would go small enough for a newborn. We didn't start CDing until 4 months

  • Thanks, ladies. We looked at them at Target as well but I didn't think to adjust the sizes in store to see if they'd fit a NB. In fact, I didn't think about it until this morning when I had an "Oh gosh" moment. I suppose if we have to we could use disposa

  • I had that same "Oh, crap!" moment when I was putting away my Charlie Bananas, too!  The guru at my local CD store said that the bottom weight limit on most OS pocket diapers is ~10 lbs.  I'm using a combination of flats & prefolds with c

  • DS was born right at 8 lbs, and even on the smallest setting, our CB's didn't fit until he was at least 9 or 10 lbs. They did fit before many of my other OS diapers (although at that time, I only had CBs, Flips, FB Smalls, and a Kawaii).

  • I used gifted sposies until my dd was 5 weeks. At that point, she was a little over 10 lbs and only the flips and AIOs fit. Her CBs leaked and didn't start fitting for about two weeks later when she was probably about 11 lbs. I liked that we eased into CD
