I'm apparently going to have some barely used fsot, soon, because they barely snappy on my FIVE DAY OLD.

    It looks like you still have a pretty good amount of room to snappi if you spread out the front.

    This is how a lot of mine fit. I had extra length and a tight fit at the waist. If the absorbency works. Curl the wings out in the front and try a bigger sized Snappi. I also used the bikini twist so that the front hand wings as well as the back.

    I guess I don't know how spreading out the front helps? It has to snappy on the corners coming around from the back, right? Maybe it's just not as tight as it seems.

    So stinking cute!!  We did find that bikini twist gave us a bit more use out of prefolds that were getting small.  As did a reverse angel wing fold.  You could also use pins or boingos or a bigger snappi.

    Thanks! I have some nb bummis and midwife is predicting this guy will be around 7 ish by feel. Did you get any infant sized ones? I did bc I was worried about him growing out so quickly but I guess you can use the newborn to stuff pockets and to double up

    My daughter was 7 pounds 11 ounces and I had infant prefolds for her (not gmd) and she was swimming in them, especially by length.

    (Also the mw thought this guy would be 8 pounds and us had him in 45th percentile, soooooo :) )
