cheap bumgenius?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
My 34 weeker is finally big enough to fit in cloth diapers! I had a variety to try and right now she only really fits in the extra small bumgenius aio and organic cotton fitteds. I bought the couple I have at a little local store but there is a huge back order so it could be a month before she can get more in. Does anyone know where I can find these for a decent price?

Also if anyone has any suggestions for diapers for a small baby, I'd love to hear. I have prefolds, the infant size because I wasn't expecting a babe this small, and I can't for the life of me make them work. DD is now seven pounds and 22 inches long so I thought they would fit by now, but she is so skinny that they gap horribly!

Thanks mammas!

As far as the prefolds go, we used these almost immediately with DD. 7 lbs. 3 oz. at birth, but dropped under 7 lbs. by the time we came home (infant size, also). Have you tried twisting them? That helped us with the gaps on the legs, made them more snug around the thighs. She's almost 13 lbs. now and we just stopped using this fold.

OMG! What a life saver! That fold even looks somewhat trim! I'll reserve judgement until after she goes in it but I think you just solved my diaper shortage!

I love the jelly-roll fold for prefolds. It does a great job of containing poo-splosions.

This is what we're using now. Twisting worked great when she was tiny, but she's too big for it now.

Cottonbabies.com have the xsmalls for $12.95 although I have no idea if that's a good price....
