Which fitted does everyone like for smaller newborns (6ish-10lbs)?

post #1 of 11

I'm wanting to get a stash of fitteds for the tiny NB stage, and wondering what everyone likes for the 6-7lbs and up range? Basically to get us through to when s/he grows into the one size fitteds.

I used kiss-a-luv zeros for the tiny baby stage with a cover but usually you are changing them so often you don't even need a cover on.

I used Kissaluv size 0 for my first CD'd babe, but liked the Swaddlebees newborn fitteds even better for my second babe. They are definitely smaller than the Kissaluvs and therefore probably better for a babe on the smaller side. Mine were both just over 7lbs and fit really well.

Kissaluvs, although if I had known Green Mountain Diapers was going to come out with a snap version of their infant fitted I would probably have gone for those; they're cheaper. I've never tried them though.

I thinks swaddlebees NB fitteds would be a good option if you have tiny babies (like not over 7lbs.)...They are smaller than KL0's...although the KL0's BARELY fit my 10+lber at birth....but he was just plain big (his stomach alone measured 14 1/2" around and he was 23" long). So perhaps on a smaller framed babe it would fit to the 15lb. limit.

Kissaluvs fitteds, very baby fitteds made from sherpa or prefolds. I just bought some preemie prefolds since the infants onces I have are way too big for my 7 lb guy!

I love kissaluvs size 0, with a bummis or prorap cover.

Good luck!!!!

I had a bunch of newborn diapers and liked the kiss-a-luvs the best. They are a little expensive, especially when some babies outgrow them so quickly, but they have great resale value.

We like the kissaluv 0's. Also thirsites fab fitteds xs another one that will give you more use due to growing with the baby is the drybee's gone natural bamboo fitted stage 1. They are SO soft.

I used kiss-a-luv fitteds and Motherease Sandy's for my 6 lb 14 oz newborn. She's just about out of them now at 9 1/2 weeks and about 10 1/2 lbs. The kiss-a-luvs were best for the first couple weeks, but as soon as the cord fell off the Sandy's gave me a little more absorbancy. I was hoping to try swaddlebees too but can only justify so many newborn dipes!

Our loveybums organic fitted fit really well and are the only ones still fitting well weeks later. I did like the kissaluvs but they have gone really crispy really quick and this is even putting them in the dryer- they leave marks on her skin even cause the fabric is that crispy. Still dont have to put the loveybums in the dryer at all, and they dry WAY quicker. The kissaluvs are taking two dryer loads (ie about 4 hours- in the dryer!) The loveybums dry in one night on the drying rack. And my newborn was 7 pounds and the kissaluvs umbilical fold down thing was up over her belly until a while after the cord had fallen off So not very helpful. I do like them though, but have just seen a lot more cons with them than the loveybums so far.
