Hi there,

Thanks for the review, i found it super helpful!

I have decided to go with bumgenius 4.0 one size as well as the flip diapers.

I am having a really hard time deciding how many of each i should be getting and how many in total i should have. I also hope to start using the cloth diapers right away my baby.

Any suggestions?

@robynangeloni We had 18 newborn diapers. Even through BG are one size, they were pretty ridiculous looking on her as a newborn. Made it hard to fit in her clothes because of the bulk. I'd definitely invest in smaller newborn stash for the first 3-4 months of life. :) It depends how often you want to wash. You could get 12 if you washed daily.

It's funny, everyone has such different opinions. I LOVE cloth wipes for poo especially, hate the diaper sprayer (never use it), didn't like Flips at all, and find my prefolds stuffed in a pocket diaper to be my absolute favourite combination. I used BG 4.0s for a few years and the inserts died... like worn out and flat/thin kinda dead. I bought some prefolds to use as inserts to replace their inserts, wow, love them!

@headlessfriar Never thought to put a prefold into a pocket diaper. Hmmm interesting. My inserts aren't dead yet. They work well, but if I had stink issues with microfiber I could see using a prefold inside a pocket as being an amazing option!!!

Do you think you could get away with flip from the start with a newborn insert? Oh, would you think a whole stash of flips is realistic? TIA!!

[suezq4369]

@rotherfamily I think everyone likes different styles, and different styles for different purposes. Like some for travel, some for husband (simple) or some for your mood. Some days I like prefolds or flips, but most of the time I use pocket. But I like both.

Thanks for the response! What newborn diapers did you use? I know BG has newborn diapers, have you tried those? I think i remember you mentioning that you used kissaluvs. How many fitteds and covers did you have for the newborn stage? I am thinking doing laundry every other day. Also, how many flips do you have in your stash?

@andie1508 They're the ones on Amazon. They are okay, but we actually don't use them anymore. It's hard to know when she is going to poop, and end up wasting them thinking a poop is coming, and the one time we don't use them-- she poops! LoL

@Christianpreaching Cloth liners were Bum Genius, but I didn't use them for long...just not my thing. They were sent by mistake when I ordered doublers, and the seller let me keep them for free.

I love love my econobum. Bumgenius makes those too. My dd has never leaked in them and they are super absorbent.

@Ichthyologistic No I've never tried that brand.
