GIVEAWAY CLOSED
I would love to try newborn covers and inserts, buttons looks great!
I still adore the bummis refolds and covers. I know they are a little longer but I fold them over in the back and it’s a second line of defense against that newborn poop explosion
Hey, that’s a really good point!
Hi. I just wanted to let you know, when I logged in, the rafflecopter logged me in on my old email address. I have changed email addresses, I accidentally entered one entry under that email then realized it was the wrong one. Can you erase that entry and let me enter with the correct email? I can email you the old address if I need to. Sorry 🙁 I’m not trying to cheat.
Hi Terra, I deleted the first entry with the terramarx address. Thanks for the heads up and for playing fair! Good luck! ~Anne
We will be cloth diapering a newborn for the first time (we started at 18 months with our 2nd child) and I’ll be using all in ones mostly. Thanks for the reviews and information.
I want to try the happy heinys mini pocket!
The sweet pea newborn covers look really great, I am going to get a few for the next babe.
This will be my first time cloth diapering from newborn. I didn’t start til #1 was 3 months old. Planning on using prefolds and covers until lo can fit in OS.
The sweet peas appeal the most – we had one cover and I loved it! Also very interested in the wee huggers because they’re made in the South!
applecheeks, I think
I love love love the AIO’s! Awesome giveaway!
Love the reviews for the fitteds all in one place! I’ll definitely have to spring for some of those, especially the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted once we’re successful with our TTC!
I love my Buttons diapers:) covers and inserts are my favorite.
I can’t wait to get all our newborn diapers! We will be using covers and Prefolds. I love the blueberry covers and I am surprised at how low of a rise the OS cover has, I will need to get a few of those. Thank you for your review and PICTURES! I have been looking everywhere to find a review that will work with a 7/8 lb. baby.
So glad the posts have helped! When I first diapered a newborn I has some difficulty finding pictures, so that’s why I created these pages. ~Anne
i really like fitteds!
For newborns, I think prefolds and flats under covers are great!
I like covers and prefolds, and would like to try Thirsties Diaper Cover, Size XS
I’m due with my first little one in early December and have been doing so much research since I want to cloth diaper from the start. Thank you for putting so many reviews and information in one convenient place for us to peruse! I definitely want to start out with prefolds and covers. I’ve heard the best things about Thirsties and Rumparoos for newborns but the Rumparoo seems to swallow your little one and also seem a bit pricey so I’m leaning towards Buttons and AppleCheeks (so cute!) now. 🙂
Glad the reviews have been useful in your research, Stacy. Congrats!! ~Anne
I have a 7 week old. First time using cloth diapers. We actually made all but about 5 of them (bought them). I’m having a hard time with my son peeing out the legs. They are all OS and I have them on the smallest snaps. Is this normal? I even make the bought ones on the smallest and it still happens.
Hi Stephanie, I haven’t found many one-size diapers that fit smaller babies as well as they do when older/heavier. Especially if they have skinny legs or the cover doesn’t have double gussets. ~Anne
I loved the review of newborn covers. I am planning on covers and prefolds for the newborn stage. It was really comprehensive. I’d love to try an Applecheeks!
Prefolds and covers will make up the bulk of my stash, since that’s what I have experience with from my childhood… changed diapers on my 3 youngest siblings 🙂
I’d also like to experiment with pockets.
I really love the review of newborn covers. It is so hard to decide what to use. I mostly used OS pockets with #1 but I’m leaning away from them with #2.
Would love to try the AIO for my newborn. 🙂
Baby coon looks great!!!
Those Funky Fluff diapers look awesome!
I would love to try a Blueberry cover.
Absolutely loved reading about all the newborn AIO I planned on getting just bum genius but now I’ll try a few different brands 🙂 have you ever reviewed an alva baby newborn?
Yes! The Alva reviewed is included at the bottom of this post http://www.zephyrhillblog.com/2013/01/cloth-diapering-your-newborn-pocket-diapers/
We are going to try a mix of prefolds, fitteds and AIO with our little one coming soon!
I would like to try the Lil Joey AIO. I like that it has double gussets to prevent leakage.
Oh no, I have baby fever again! I can’t wait for #3 🙂 I love lol joeys and bumGenius newborn diapers!
I think I’ll add some more AIO to my newborn stash for the next baby. Maybe I’ll try some tini fit? I read several positive reviews about their one-size AIO!
I’ve built up a stash of pockets and aios. I’m really interested in trying prefolds and fitteds!
I didn’t use newborn cloth with my first baby and would maybe try with the next one – would love to try the funky fluff newborn pocket! I have never tried any of their diapers but they look and sound awesome! Or one of the fitted brands, I haven’t used those much with my daughter.
I didn’t cloth diaper with my first but plan to with my second due in Dec. I plan on using Sustainablebabyish Snapless Mini. Thanks for the review!
I love prefolds for newborns. They’re easy to wash and don’t take forever to dry. It’s nice having natural fabrics against baby’s young skin.
I will probably go with flats or fitteds for my newborn. Seems the easiest, and cheapest, or the fitteds are a trial option at Sweetbottoms baby.
id love to add an imagine cover in the dino print and the dino flats to my nb stash. Ive heard thirsties covers are great too.
I’ll be ordering up some Bummis organic preemie prefolds to get through the first month without the bulk.
I really like the Imagine Newborn Stay Dry diaper, not only do they look adorable but they are pretty much leak proof and that is so imortant.
I love the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted
I want to try the Sweet Pea covers with prefolds with my little girl coming soon!
I would love to try the Tots Bots Tini fit with our next babe.
We are new to cloth and never used them with a newborn. We only use pockets, we currently don’t know anything else. I would live to try any of the newborn pockets in the future!
I’m really interested in the Grovia newborn Aio!
I plan to try newborn covers over home-made fitteds.
All in ones appeal to me for convenience but not price. I think, for a newborn, I will prefer prefolds and covers for the economical draw. I just can justify spending so much money on all in ones that won’t be used long. Our family has big babies so I am especially worried about what kind of use I will get from newborn cloth.
I’m a Fuzzibunz fan!
I love using soft and cozy fitteds with little babies. 🙂 They aren’t peeing enough to leak and it seems so perfect to have the natural fabrics against their skin. 🙂 Thanks!
I already use Applecheeks on my 2 year old and have always used them as a pocket diaper, but we started on size 2 with those and love them. I would like to try the size 1 on my newborn. I also really want to try the Buttons and Sweet Pea covers.
Imagine BAIO
With our first we went with mostly pockets and some AIO’s, Reading the reviews I think I’d be tempted to add some prefolds if we were to try cloth from the get go when we get around to number 2
Covers and prefolds appeal to me most at this point.
I’m a big fan of the lil joeys. They worked perfectly for my small baby from birth till about 3 months.
I love AIO for newborns– specifically Tots Bots tiny fits 🙂
I plan on using CD for my first child, due in November, so I’m still trying to get used to the extensive CD world. These reviews will be so much help! Thank you!
The Buttons covers look appealing to me! Would love to try!
I would really like to try buttons ai2. Didn’t think I was an ai2 kinda gal, but they appeal to me somehow.
I like the Lil Joey AIO diaper!!
-Graceful Homemaker
i like a size1 vs a newborn diaper for duration of use (more bang for the buck)… though i do love prefolds & covers & applecheeks can’t really be reused by switching the insert- though they like to advertise that one can. plus what if baby is too tiny for a size1… oh boy!!!!
for a newborn, i prefer prefolds. i would love to try the imagine smartfit newborn prefolds.
I love the covers review, so helpful because I plan to cloth diaper cover & flats/prefolds for new born stage.
I’m planning to CD our first baby who is due this winter – This would be the perfect starter set to figure out which brand will fit our LO best!
I would love to try the Lil Joey and Kissa AIO for the cord snap down.
I love the sweatpea covers!
I like the grovia ones
I like the flats and prefolds best I think! Thanks for all the great reviews and info
I’d love to try the Applecheeks Covers! Love that you can either stuff it or lay a prefold/insert right in!
I like using prefolds for newborns since they go through so many diapers.
I like the Lil Joey AIO diaper.
I would LOVE to try the Grovia newborn AIO. Every time I go to our local boutique I pick up a Grovia just to feel it! I didn’t know they made newborn sizes!
I really appreciated your reviews on the newborn prefolds. It was very helpful to see the size comparisons when folded into a newborn cover. It seems like the Geffen baby prefolds would be very absorbent.
My favorite for newborn is GroVia AIO
I looked at all of the reviews and I like the Sweet Pea and Econobum newborn covers and Smart Fit prefolds
Thanks for the info! I’m still waiting for baby to get here, so I can use all info out there I can get!
It’s been a long time since I had a baby in diapers but with both daughters expecting I am learning a lot. I am very impressed with this diaper.
I’d like to try the newborn econobum covers. Tried the os and was not a fan of the fit, but the newborn covers look like a great fit and at a decent price.
I used Flips on my son when he was a newborn and they were huge on him. When baby #2 arrives we are using a small covers and then will transition into Flips.
The newborn to toddler cover looks like a great fit for all sizes… Which is hard to find!
I like the idea of covers and prefolds for a newborn. Some of those covers looked great- I prefer snaps, so some of them wouldn’t be best for us!
I have a newborn and have used Diaper Junction OS pockets as I won them and to date they are the only diapers I own. Although bulky, they really do fit him well!!
This is my first hearing of hipkiddo and based on your review I am super interested in trying them! So much information in that newborn review section I am on information overload!
We use prefolds and flats with covers alot, with some home-sewn fitteds and wool covers for variety. My little guy is just outgrowing his Imagine newborn cover, at 3 months and 16+ lbs. I wish I’d had more than one, they fit so nicely and didn’t irritate his belly button like other covers did. And they lasted longer than any of his other newborn covers while still fitting well in the early days (though to be fair, he was born at 9 lbs 14 oz and 21.5 inches). I also tried the Imagine bamboo flats for the first time. They are awesome! Even my older kiddos can use them at night, and they are so trim!
Glad you like the bamboo flats, Michelle! They are definitely a favorite around here, and still pretty economical! ~Anne
I like covers and prefolds, but also really like fitteds!
I am amazed at the fit around the legs you got with Diaper Rite’s OS cover on little Ingrid. Will have to look at those!
We love our best bottom diapers, but think apple cheeks might be on our wish list.
