I thought I'd review a few of the diapers I love to use on my little guy. For stats, he's about 31 inches and 23 pounds, tall and skinny lol, with a longer rise, so there were a few I tried out that just don't fit him well. The ones that do fit him are the Flip, SweetPea pocket, FuzziBunz medium and the new BG 4.0. The one I like best is really the Flip, I use the stay dry inserts, I don't like the idea of him sitting in wetness if we don't have to. I love that I can swap out the wet insert and use a new one. The covers are great, they work well with the inserts and also with some prefolds. I have mine set on medium and love that the snaps adjust to fit his chubby thighs and skinny belly. I'm not sure how they'd work on a tiny baby, because I started this a bit late, but they works really well on him, and I expect they will for awhile.
SweetPea diapers are great, they are not expensive, they are one size, come with two inserts, and are just so nicely made! I think they would fit a newborn pretty well, depending how bit the new born is of course. I haven't had any leaks with these, which is pertty amazing. He's even gone 4 hours in one with no leaks, through a nap and everything! I've been using them for a few weeks now and they come clean quite easily. I like that they keep him dry feeling too, and the inserts really absorb a lot of pee. I like that they have a liner all the way up, so none of the Pul touches his skin, it's just all nice soft stay dry lining.
FuzziBunz, I used one during a trial and didn't care for it, but there was a really good deal online so I ordered one, now I've ordered 3 more :) I think the one I had in the trial was an older version, these new ones are nice and fit him well. They came with one insert, and it is very absorbant. I've only had it a week or so, he's worn it three times, and it seems to be his poopy diaper, almost as soon as I get it on him, there he goes! So it hasn't been worn much yet :) I do wish I'd ordered a one size to try, I'm not sure the medium will last until potty training, he is a big boy.
BG 4.0 is a good diaper, I like that it is a bit bigger than the older version, it fits well on the medium settings. It came with two inserts, I use the bigger one on the medium snap and it works well. I'm not sure I like the opening for the insert, it seems that it could open up and leave the insides to rub on his back. We'll see how it works. Also, there is a layer of Pul on the front inside, not sure how that will work for us. Part of why I switched to cloth is because he was reacting to something in the disposables along his back, it's still pretty rashy (only just getting to using cloth overnight), and I'm not sure Pul would be any better than the sposies.
So those are the diapers I like, I have a couple others I'm still trying out, I like to try different things, and anything on sale is great :)
