My boys were 8lb7oz and 9lb8oz at birth and neither of them would have fit OS Pockets for the first couple of months. They didn't even fit the prefolds to begin with, which are less bulky between the legs. DS1 was in 'sposies for about...

So much depends on your lifestyle and budget.   This is my bare essentials list:   Diapers & wipes (we do cloth for both) Somewhere for baby to sleep (if you co-sleep that's easy, your bed, but somewhere for...
