Muslins for newborns

[Yammas]

Hi ladies

I was planning on using terry for LO as I read they gave the best fit but came across people saying you can use muslin cloths. Has anyone tried it or got any advice on this? my plan is to use terry until baby is big enough for one size nappies but I only saw people using them like prefolds which led to leaks or poo getting on the covers cant you fold and nip them?

I'm totally new to cloth so any advice is appreciated

Muslins only worked for my greedy little guzzles until my milk came in. After that they just weren't absorbent enough. I'd use 50cm terries - bamboo ones are pretty eli fitting, much more absorbent than muslins, and you can use them later on as inserts and boosters as well.

Thanks I suppose I might just go straight for terries then I plan to hire some wraps as I won't need them once they move on to one size.

What brand of terries is best? I can't find any in the shops (I'm in the UK).
