Cloth Diapering

What are your fave newborn diapers?

I have been doing a lot of research about CD and have decided to get a few each of different brands and styles for both the newborn and the one-size phase.  I generally like AIOs and pocket styles and probably won't use prefolds (I don't think DH or my MIL who will watch the baby when I return to work would be prefold fans).  My plan is to buy most of my stash of newborn diapers and some one size before the baby comes, and then buy more one size diapers as we need them and find which we like best.  Washing every other day how many newborn diapers do I need?  About 30? 

 I am planning on getting a few different brands of newborn diapers and was wondering which ones people liked best.  I am thinking of getting some RaR Little Joeys, Kissluvs newborn, BG newborn, and Swaddlebees newborn diapers.  Do you recommend getting some wool fitteds for the later newborn stages, or are those more important for older babies?   What brands are best for the newborn stage?  Thanks for answering the questions of a CD newb!

  • I love love love my newborn Imagine stay dry diapers.  I hated the BG xs's even though they were cute.

  • DH thought he would have some issues with prefolds too.  I gave him a few with a snappi, handed him a teddy bear, and showed him/talked him through what to do.  He changed her diapers for most of the first week we were home and never had an i

  • I didn't think my DH would like prefolds but he doesn't mind them.  I don't think he's ever put a pocket on DD.  I love my KL0s.  I also have 5 kawaii p&ns and 1 alva nb pockets.  I much prefer the alva.  I also have one alva

  • My favorites are Blueberry Basix and Kawaii PN. I also like the bum genius size small, but I bought those used and I think they might be different than the newborns sold now? I don't really know. We got a lot of leaks with the grovias.
  • I really like GMD workhorse fitteds with Thirsties XS covers. They are much less inexpencive than an AIO and just as easy to put on. I didn't think my DH would be on board with prefolds, and I was pretty intimidated by them, too. These were a nice ballanc

  • Lil joeys were a fave here. DH thought they were easier than disposable to put on. They worked for absorbency til 6 weeks, then for daytime only til 8 weeks. They still fit then with a snap to spare but her OS pockets fit so we put them away. I liked the

  • I love our Kawaii Pure and Naturals. I have 30 newborn diapers, and am washing every other day. It's doable. A few more might be nice since its hard to find time to stuff. Right now I have 6 diapers left and a basket to stuff.

    Thanks for all the input.  I think I will get a variety of newborns-- including some prefolds & fitteds with covers-- especially for the beginning when I am home.  I think having some AIOs and pockets for the newborns will be nice when tr
