Good diapers, but newborn size is a joke – simply not cut for the shape of a human child. Number 2′s (not size 2) almost always leak. Other sizes (up to 5 tried so far) work well.

We tried fuzzi bunz one size diapers, kissaluvs fitted diapers, fuzzi bunz xs, small, and medium perfect size diapers, bum genius all in one, one size organic snap diapers, and the bum genius 3. 0 one size pocket diaper with velcro and the fuzzi bunz one size was our favorite.
The Pros:
-First, obviously, we like it because we don’t have to buy a whole new set of diapers for each size.
Our son has worn these since he was a few weeks old and is still wearing them at eight months.
The adjustable elastic is very convenient and only has to be adjusted every once in a while and it doesn’t bunch up like the bum genius that only has three different levels.
The notches in the elastic make the fit much more customized for the baby.
-We much prefer the snaps to the velcro on the bum genius because you always know where to snap the diaper so that it isn’t too tight or too loose.
-We prefer the pocket to the all in one because it seems like they get more clean this way (you can separate them for the wash), you can adjust the absorbency based on size and time (night or day), and they dry faster this way which is especially important if you are line drying. That said, we also prefer the pocket to the fitteds with a cover – more convenient.
-Even though our son would fit in the medium perfect size, the one size fits better. I think they often fit better than the “perfect” size.
The Cons:
-We generally like these, but the later versions (we have some of the first ones and some later versions) have one less snap and at eight months they already seem to be getting a little bit tight on our boy who has a round tummy and chunky legs. I wish they would go back to the extra snap.
Also, the first ones didn’t have the hip snap which worked better for us.
It makes it too tight around his chubby legs when we do the hip snap.
-We have had some problems with leaking. I’ve taken to stripping them more regularly, and I’m sure this would be the case with most cloth diapers, but it is sort of a hassle.
-It would be nice if there were more designs for the one-size. Currently only solids and daisies.
-The white ones end up looking a little discolored, so I would go with a colored one.
-The earlier versions had smaller holes for the elastic and the ends didn’t slip out.
The later versions had bigger holes and sometimes the end of the elastic slips out which can be annoying and leave little marks on his legs.
All of that said, we have 24 of these one sizes and like them better than any of the others we’ve tried. For our next baby, we’ll use only these, with maybe a few small “perfect size” diapers early on.
I was new to cloth diapering when our son was born and didn’t know where to start, how many supplies I needed, how long the diapers last etc etc. I knew I wanted to use a prefold and cover system, so when I stumbled upon this complete pack I snapped it up and haven’t looked back.
This set literally contains everything you need for cloth diapering, from the time your child is born to the time they’re potty training, and the cost is a drop in the bucket when compared to what you would spend on buying disposables for 2+ years.
The cotton diaper stays fluffy and super soft and unlike other brands, I haven’t had any rashing or chafing with the Real Nappies PUL cover.
I was excited to see that Real Nappies also offers a two child guarantee on all of their products, so if you’re thinking about cloth diapering, this Birth to Potty pack is a great investment.
Car seat! A good safe car seat is A #1 priority.
Second, I would say a good stroller.
I would spend as little as possible on toys.
The kid will play with most of them for about 10 minutes.
The rest, I would (and did) buy used. (Bought a new matress for the crib, though. I wasn’t taking any chances with some other kid’s funk. )
Spend money on really important things like pictures of you & the baby.
Naw, the last name beginning with c will only help it flow.
So, it’s good.
If he has a brother someday you could always name him Connor or something. (Although, when I was thinking of names that rime by removing c and putting other letters in front I realized that he could be teased when he’s old enough for school. (Carter the Farter, etc. ). Make sure his daddy teaches him how to punchout any kids like that have a bad sense of humor. ^o^ Course with K it’s the same. I think you have in fact the only letter that would go! Kudos to you!
This doll (and the peapod one they sell too) is just the cutest. . .
Well made and very good price. Perfect size for a baby and toddlers, little kids and even my teenager loves it. Why pay GUND prices when this is available?!

I can start by saying things I hate first since the good are what people want to hear.
* If you have a chunky monkey or squirmy baby it might be tough to put on.
* It leaks a lot at nights. Size 1 at least from what I can tell.
* Does have SAP which are those gel like crystals.
…..
The good are it has no damn logo which I love! Give me the old school feeling of what a diaper should be, as well as it being some what cushier then E.B.’s diapers and puffy.
This bio-degradable thing and less carbon emissions thing is a sham anyway, so I didnt buy into it because of that. Just sucks that people use toxics etc. On these diapers when they can be made naturally and should be but I guess it makes more money to have a market for it. Even then it isnt completely natural but you have to pick your battles.
I would use 7th Gen again but only maybe as a 3rd option since I prefer E.B’s over them and im currently trying Huggies P&N diapers. This again is for size 1 diapers.

Can anyone tell me if the size Newborn have an umbilical cutout? I haven’t been able to find them locally and I got no reply from the company. Thanks!

These diapers are a bunch of crap. I can make better diapers with a string, some tape and paper towels. In fact, my Brawny paper towels absorb more than these diapers.
We got a full case of these diapers for my baby shower, not only are they too small and were only able to use just a few, but they leak…
They leak and leak and I have to keep doing three times the amount of laundry.
The diapers feel like newspaper and are not as soft as the Pampers, and they offer no real or genuine protection. I’m unsure about the diaper rash claim, as our son had diaper a diaper rash from being at the NICU, but we got it under control even while he was wearing his pampers…
So for us, the diaper rash problem is not a variable.
We really dislike these diapers…
So does our son who apparently now holds all of his peepee and poopoo for when he’s not wearing these diapers.
As we switched over to the Pampers, he started feeling more comfortable and going again… I hate these diapers.

After trying out a few brands, I was pretty satisfied with the 7th Gen Stage 1 diapers.
So when baby got bigger, I ordered a large case of 7th Gen Stage 2 diapers. BIG mistake.
They’ve leaked every single time baby has pooped (they hold up well for pee though). My son’s 15 lbs so its not as if I’m using the wrong size (Stage 2 is for 12-18 lbs). I notice that in the Stage 2 diapers, the gathers around the legs are much smaller and the leaks have been happening from there as well as up the back.
I’ve been using these diapers for a week now and after having to do several extra loads of laundry I realise I just cant use these anymore.
Its frustrating because I bought a 4-pack and I stil have 3 unopened packets of 40 diapers each!
