Oakley was born at 9lbs 9oz and 22.5 inches. Not a little
guy by any means. We still got lots of love out of our newborn diapers though.
His cord fell off at 6 days so we didn't use the snap down nearly as much as I
expected.
Grovia Newborn AIO
These fit right away, but sadly leaked. It was a
combination of the legs being too loose and the fact that they just aren't all
that absorbent. I think with a more chunky baby (as opposed to long like my
guy) one might have better luck. They did fit for about six weeks though, but
they were a last resort diaper only.
4 Weeks. I apparently didn't take any sooner than this!
They just fit weird on the legs.
Lil Joeys AIO
We barely fit into these. He was on the widest snap from
day one. These would probably fit a super tiny baby better than most. I found
the inner gussets quite annoying for a couple of reasons. They left really deep
indention marks on my Oakley and I found it nearly impossible to clean all the
poop out of the gussets. At this point I am going to have to hand wash them
before I sell them. That is frustrating. We also had a couple blow outs in
them. They were fairly absorbent though and fit for maybe two weeks.
^^Less than a week >>>
By 4 weeks we barely squeezed in them.
Fuzzibunz XS
Once the cord fell off these fit right away. They fit
nicely around the legs and absorbed as much as you'd expect from a microfiber
insert. Always a champ at holding in explosive poops. I am not a huge fan of
PUL outer diapers, but these were probably the most reliable. At 9 weeks they
still fit, with room to grow, but need extra stuffing if we were to use them
out and about.
At 6 weeks, apparently these didn't gt much photo shot time, this is the only pic I have!
Rockin Rumps (RnR) Minis
Can not rave enough about this WAHM. Her diapers are
consistent and always of the best quality. I fell in love with her one size
diapers with my oldest and was nothing but thrilled with her minis as well.
We did not need the snap down rise and they fit right
away. A little bit of rubbing did occur, but he was just too long for the snap
down rise. A smaller baby likely wouldn't have this problem. She changed her
inserts to a trifold insert (opposed to the snap in two layer insert). The
trifold is an improvement on how absorbent they are.
We still, at 9 weeks, can fit into them. The wovens are too
tight, but the knits still work quite well. I add a booster to the older style
snap in ones and we are good out and about. Never a blow out or leak with
these! I had mostly A12, but also 3 of her hybrids which I absolutely adored.
They were so absorbent!

Woven, not even 4 weeks old!
Woven, right at 6-7 weeks old!
Hybrid, not even 1 week old!
Hybrid, right at 3 weeks old!
Hybrid, jut barely fitting, at almost 8 weeks old!
Swaddlebee Simplex AIO
We had quite a few of these and I'm happy we did! They
fit right away and we are still using them now at 9 weeks. They snapped under
the cord great and we actually used them as our go to night diapers. They did
blow out twice, but never leaked. He didn't generally poop at night so that
worked out ok!
They are an AIO but have a pocket to add extra absorbency
too. Super convenient for night time. We'll be rocking these for a couple more
weeks I think.
Only a few days old!!
About 5 weeks!
9 Weeks!!
The rise is getting short, but still working just fine :)
Goodmama Fitteds (and one hybrid)
These fit from day one. Fit great under the cord and
didn't cause any rubbing at all. These were our go to diapers at home. They are
absorbent and cute, the whole package! The only down side to these is you will
experience a number of size variations.
Somewhere around 4 weeks they started to lack what we
needed in absorbency. It was about the same time we started fitting in the one
size Goodmama really well. At about 6 weeks the wovens didn't have a high
enough rise. At that point only a few of the bigger but knits fit well. We
officially retired them at 8 weeks.
The one hybrid I had I could rave all day about. The
hybrids have a naturally bigger cut and come with a tiny good.square! It solves
both the rise and absorbency issue we have with the fitteds. I would highly
recommend these for mama's with bigger babies and heavy wetters.
Hybrid vs Fitted
Only a few days old!
2ish week old!
^^^4 Weeks!^^^
6 weeks, this is a larger fitting knit!
6 weeks, woven, and seeing butt crack! LOL!
Hybrid, 5-6 weeks, you can see the size difference!
