So I have this whole stash of nb cloth diapers... but obviously with LO just shy of 4lbs (and coming home at that mark) They're not going to fit her! We looked around in the stores around here, and apparently no one carries preemie diapers in this town, so I'll have to order them online. Here's my question, does anyone have any suggestions on what brands they like the best? She's in huggies right now (what the hospital has) and they still don't seem to fit her right.
Pampers fit LO best and longer than huggies. Huggies seemed on the small side.
as a side note my LO was about 4 lbs when she came home, she fit in a prefold and a bummis super bright cover or a rump a rooz newborn cover. Around her second week home (about 5ish lbs) she started fitting into the pockets and now at 4 weeks old and 6 lbs she can fit into her all in ones.

oooh hmmm I wonder then. I just assumed since EVERYTHING we have is WAY too big on her, that the diapers MUST be too big. I guess there's one way to find out! We have nb prefold and bummis/rumparoos nb covers so I guess once she comes home I'll find out!
Ditto on the Pampers. A friend gave me some of the Huggies preemie size and I didn't like the fit.

Newborn cloth diapers fit for about a day for many term babies. Try them on your preemie. We were able to get them to work by the time the hospital stash was gone and M was just under 5 lbs when she came home.
Ditto pp's about pampers. Ds came home at just over 4 lbs and I think we only bought one pack of preemie diapers and he was bf and pooped all the time!!! Good luck!
Pampers for sure. Huggies never fit right and really still don't at almost 2. They are too big in the leg around and they always peed out. I didn't find a huge difference between preemie pampers and nb pampers. We just folded down the tops of the nb ones for a while till they gained enough to fit. My scn never sent home any for us so we bought our own. Mine came home and 4lbs and 5lbs.
ah sorry it took me a while to get back... newborn calls. lol But we've been using pampers nb diapers for a bit. She's still too small for the cloth diapers but the pampers are working great. I had to use a huggies nb when out at the LC (some reason that's just what we had in the bag) and she totally peed out the side later on. I'm thinking she'll fit just fine in the cloth diapers pretty soon (if not already) Thanks for all the advice!
I'm the odd man out. I've always preferred Huggies. I just think they are nicer. My daughter could wear any diaper so my opinion isn't based on leaking or anything like that.
We loved the Pampers preemies diapers. They used Huggies preemies in the hospital (and we used up the couple of packages they sent us home with), but I started buying Pampers and they were fantastic. In fact, we stayed a Pampers family until we started using Pull-Ups. The Pampers brand (Easy Ups) were not as good as the Huggies Pull-Ups.
