Anyways - It doesn't have to make it from nb, I'm buying a stash of nb aios - so I figure around 8 weeks and 10lbs we'll switch to the next set of diapers - either smalls or OS....the large setting still fit my 3.5 year old 32 lber last night, so I'm not terribly concerned about size - it's the ACTUAL diaper holding up that's been concerning me....
It was my experience that a diaper with a synthetic outer and inner will last a lot longer than anything with cotton, which is more prone to holes. To extend the life of your elastic, hang to dry sometimes or just limit time in the dryer as much as possible. If you are careful about this part especially, your diapers SHOULD last 2 years. It's the dryer that really eats up diaper ime.
