My DS was 9lbs 5 and 22"
I tried a few nb cloth stuffs, but since I was expecting a baby in the high 8s (I was 8lbs 14 and my DH was 8lbs 5, both first babies) I had decided to use sposies for a couple weeks until I was healed and could handle a newborn and learning cloth. I was a little scared
Anyways, I'm kinda glad I waited because he was a chunk, esp lengthwise. I ended up waiting until he was out of his 0-3m clothes because he had NO spare room for a diaper, they barely fit with a sposie!
I tried a KL0 with a prowrap and while the KL fit, the prowrap was too small over the diaper! I bought a bumpy and it was a size small and it was HUGE...
Bumpies were by far my fav cover for a newborny stage though, so i'm already stashing away diapers for my next baby which won't come to pass for atleast another year + (we plan on ttcing next spring) but since my son is almost a large i'm pretty much done buying diapers for him...he definately doesn't NEED anything much.
However since I didn't have any newborn diapers, and not enough smalls...i'm collecting ones I know will fit a bigger newborn NOW..
My stash : (all the new ones i've bought since he was born)
A "newborn" and small sized wool covers from tootsweet. Shes planning on opening again, so I'll be wanting more smalls. the legs have lots of elastic and should work with a newborn and fit a long time.
KHW - I've bought like 7, and I can actually squeeze my now skinny 15m toddler in one. I could at 8-9m too when he was still pretty chubby. he's 23lbs and has been in the 20-23lb range since he was 5-6m old. But if I can squeeze him into one, I'm sure they will fit awhile for a big baby
BBH - I bought used, but another mama assures me they will fit a long time, despite looking teeny weenie.
FLAMs - I expect to fit the shortest, but they are cute and easy...plus I bought mostly knits so they stretch. knit outters will always fit longer.
Kiwi pie - Maria made me a special newborn diaper with my fabric and OV inner. Should fit easily...my friend tried it on her 11lb 3mth old and it was fabulous on the tight snaps
Also have a med cover and a pair of newborn wool pants maria made (small) for me
elbee - I've been assured a XS will fit a long time even for a big baby (hard to believe, but they are quite big and my son fits a med on the tightest settings with a OV elbee) and i'm planning on getting some more XS and Ss with my 2 upcoming order #s
firefly - i'm told the XSs are teeny, even on a small babe, and with larger legs not so go. I've bought a single small for after the stump falls off.
_________________________
My shopping list is more elbees (probably 5 more XS for a even 6, and 6 smalls) and a small wooly bully.
More newborn wool (I'd really like a small kiwipie too)
And some fleece (i've got my eyes on totbots) and a couple pul covers as backups for my wools.
PUL i'm buying bumpy covers.
I'd probably like to get some size 1 nightlights for my next baby too since they work SOO well for my son, and he slept through the night at 6wks, (i'm talking 10-12hrs here! he slept for 6hrs a night from birth!)
But i'm not actively seeking those yet, because I can wait and hope for a custom order between now and then, or maybe someone else will make something that compares
OH, and I have a LC size 1 in a adorable giraffe print that fiits my son, but barely, i've got stashed away for after the cord falls off.
I'm worried about having enough cord-friendly fitteds though, because his took 3 weeks!
