Newborn Weight Gain
Hi ladies! I was just curious how fast your babies are/are not gaining weight. If a few of you don't mind, would you reply with your baby's birth weight and then the next weights you have recorded for them. I know it's different for every baby, and that most lose weight initially. Thanks!

Thanks so much ladies! We're deciding on whether or not to cloth diaper, and I'm trying to figure out the size diapers I should buy....thinking I might just use 'sposies to start until baby is big enough to fit in the cloth dipes I buy.
Oh and by the way.....are your kids CUTE! I love the pics! Man, I can't wait to be a mom!

Were given BM with a small amount of Neosure until 5 weeks, then moved onto all Neosure.
FWIW, since I know I have a bigger kid..we cloth diaper and we were still able to use a lot of the popular diapers recommended. We use the KLOs (Kissaluvs, size 0) at the beginning as well as some prefolds. Since she is a little bigger we were able to get into the BumGenius diapers a little sooner and she wears the 3.0s with both inserts for nights now and the AIOs (all in ones) during the day. Again, if it helps, even with a bigger kid all the stuff that was recommended worked just fine for us. Good luck!
