Which diapers?

[npl]

I'm looking for two new diapers:

1) For the diaper bag - an AI2 or a pocket but NO synthetics (laundry issues). I need to stick with natural fibres, preferably not hemp. I don't mind doing a pocket that I can stuff with prefolds, or an AI2 with a PUL cover.
I'd prefer something with a large size range and very absorbant, as baby is only 7wks and around 11lbs, but is already a really heavy wetter.

2)Fitteds.
Again, baby is soaking through her infant prefolds really quickly. I like the Sandy's we have, but they are really bulky. I'd like something all natural fibres, around the same price as the Sandy's (ie cheap!).

I'm in Canada, but have a chance of buying some things to try that can be delivered to a US address if I can get them there by the beginning of next week!
Thanks!

Since you like the Sandy's, how about the Mother Ease one size? It will be a bit bulky but will keep fitting better as your little one grows. It's less "poufy" than the Sandys though in how it fits. I'd recommend getting the snap-in doubler since you have a heavy wetter. I've also seen these on craigslist and such sometimes which might be a good option for trying it out cheap.

I heard the one-size isn't nearly as absorbant. Right now, I'm using the Sandy's with the doubler as my night-time diaper. I haven't tried it during the day without the doubler, but with my other kids I always needed the doubler during the day or it wasn't nearly absorbant enough.

Anyone like the dream-eze fitteds and aio's?

My AI2 recommendation would be SoftBums with the bamboo inserts! Love ours, and the adjustable elastic system for the one size is awesome.

For a fitted, what about Tiny Tush OS organic cotton - they also have a hemp if you want. I think they work better and are more trim than my DreamEze...although due to rebranding you could find some DreamEze right now at great sale prices.

What about the Bamboozles from Bummis, the size 2 is good for 10-35 pounds and works great with either the Bummis Super Brite or Super Whisper Wraps. DD is 9 months and I don't have to chance her in the middle of the night... and her diaper is a good 5 pounds in the morning, lol.

I LOVE the Dream-eze fitteds (haven't tried the all in ones). They're a great day time diaper for us and dry really quickly. I love the way the snaps work on these - no leg gaps!

I also use the Growing Greens (one size) quite a bit. They would need an extra liner for a heavy wetter.

Anyone know where to find the dreameze on sale right now? I need more mediums.

I've used the one size for my baby (she is now 11 months) and it is GREAT - we use it overnight with the snap in liner - no leaks EVER. I'd try one - I use the bamboo material.

Also, for going out I use the Bum Genius AIO - I find it SUPER absorbant and real easy to change.
that's my recos - I'm in Canada too but got the BGs via a US addy for real cheap from Cotton babies.
