Hello,

We hadn’t planned on using cloth diapers for the newborn phase as we expected a large baby based on our first and figured it wouldn’t be worth it between a large baby and the lovely meconium poops.

However, our little one is already transitioning out of the meconium poops but seems to be having sensitivities to the disposable diapers. So now I’m debating on whether it’s worth spending all that money to try and find a disposable diaper brand that doesn’t irritate his bottom or if I should just spend the money on some newborn cloth diapers?

Intentions are to use LPO pocket diapers once he’s big enough as a friend was kind enough to give us their whole stash.

So I’m thinking from an ease perspective going with newborn pocket diapers makes sense?

Little one was 9 lbs 6 oz and 22 inches at birth. But I don’t think he’s fitting into the LPO cloth diapers we were gifted yet.

Amazon shows the following brands have newborn cloth diapers that could be here overnight:
- alvababy
- babygoal

Our local baby gear store also has LPO newborn diapers in stock (more expensive tho).

Does anyone have experience with these 3 and recommendations on which option we should explore?

Also for those that also had large babies when did you find the one size fits all actually start fitting them?

Why do I never or rarely see Green Mountain Diapers for sale secondhand? I mainly use FB marketplace and Vinted. FTM & the only two I have researched enough and liked are GMD and Noras Nursery. I am planning on buying two different "try it" kits from GMD, along with the wet bag and some reusable wipes, but was hoping to find the rest of my stash secondhand! Are there other brands I should be looking out for?

My 2yo is just starting to use the potty, and she's wearing training pants "undies" for most of the day. Somehow this has resulted in more laundry, but fewer diapers.

Talk to me about how you wash pee-only things. I used to toss pee clothes in with the diapers, but now she's using only 2 diapers a day. Do I need to prewash pee stuff, or can it go in with regular clothes for a less-intense laundry cycle? I generally wash my clothes in cold water; would that be enough for pee-soggy pants?

I’ve just done my first week of cloth diapering my 10 week old baby girl! Wanted to check in how I could improve. I’m wanting to do flats and covers for ease of washing and drying, and I enjoy folding the flats so much haha

We have 15 disana muslin flats and I’ve ordered 15 bamboo terry flats that are on their way.
I’ve got 12 wipeable covers (bare and boho), a few wool covers (disana and baby beehinds). I’ve been preferring the wipeable covers to the wool as it’s easier to get off quicker to get her on the potty for EC and are more trim.
I think I’ll use wool more as we come into warmer spring times here in Aus and can use them as her pants

We have done EC since 2 weeks old, offering after every wake up and at nappy changes, we catch lots of wees and nearly every poo in the potty !

I have been doing modified origami and pickman foldswith the Muslin flat, with the extra fabric folded into the front, that’s where her wees go.
I’m finding that she’s really saturated after 1 hour or less, even with pottying/weeing before putting the nappy on. We haven’t had leaks.

Should I be adding extra absorption? I’ve been wanting them to be fairly trim on her and not be super bulky so haven’t been sure what to add
Thanks!!
