Cloth and newborn/small/young babies drowning in cloth??

[mummygiraffe]

I've just got my stash started... my small itti's look fine

my flip, BG 3, and Issey look flipping huge though-i'm worried I won't be able to use them for months-will i be able to??

one size nappies do tend to be huge on small babies, youre better off starting out with some cheapy smalls tbh

You could try using some cheap NB wraps & muslins to start with??xx

 

[mummygiraffe]

any suggesttions for makes/brands for this?

how long do you reckon it will be til I can use all my beautiful nappies! I'm serioulsy turning into a nappy freak, and it's taken all of 2 weeks-whoops. Sorry bank account

Aw, that's such a cute pic

This is Adam in a BGv3 age 6 weeks and approx 10lb:

and age 5 weeks in a size 1 Little Lamb

He was in cloth from 4 weeks (9lb). With another baby I think I'd try muslins, terries or prefolds with a nippa and a wrap, for the first few weeks. Adam's LLs were too big earlier on because he had skinny little legs and we didn't get a good fit.

I used itti's fairly early on.. But Isaac had his first cloth at 3 days old and I used my os motherease. It was massive on him, but the fit was great!

I used ittis from birth (but Fi was 9lb11! so not small ) Ittis look small anyways as they are fitted and meant to be low rise and slim fitting BGV3's and little lambs are great starter nappies for smaller babies too x
