NOTE: This post has been updated as of August 2014 with several new fitted diaper reviews!
Using a fitted diaper is ideal for newborns because of the great absorbing capabilities, and because the contour shape helps to hold in blowouts. A fitted diaper does not have a waterproof layer on the outside so it must be worn with a cover.
Imagine 2.0 Bamboo Fitted: Newly released in 2016, this bamboo fitted retails for a very attractive price of $11.95 at Nicki’s (with free shipping). You can choose from 5 pretty pastels in either snap or hook and loop closure. The improved 2.0 line features a baby-soft bamboo terry fabric with a very fine weave. It has some natural stretch to it, which I like a lot. The included bamboo soaker pad snaps in the front and is permanently sewn down in the back, making this a faster-drying diaper than other newborn fitteds. We get 3+ hours of absorbency with this diaper and it’s trim enough to fit under most newborn covers. There is a snap-down rise to keep the umbilical cord stump exposed. The only issue I’ve had with fit is around the waist; There are no crossover snaps so it only gets so small. If you have a small or very thin newborn that may be a concern. However, since it’s a fitted and will go under a cover, even a less than snug fit at the waist may still work. Mary Kate was 9 pounds at birth so we had no problems with the larger waistband.
Imagine Baby Snapless Fitted (Cotton or Bamboo): I was really glad to see Imagine come out with their line of “prefold” fitteds; they are somewhat similar in design and price to the much-loved “Workhorse Fitteds” from Green Mountain and to Tinkle Traps (both are reviewed below). Imagine snappless fitteds start at just $5.95 each at Nicki’s; you can choose from cotton (bleached, unbleached or organic) or bamboo/cotton. I tested the unbleached cotton and the bamboo cotton on Ingrid; they look the same but the bamboo blend is slightly more soft and absorbent. Unlike a Workhorse or Tinkle Trap, there is no extra doubler included. Like other Imagine diapers we’ve tried, the fitteds run large in the rise, and wide in the crotch. You can fold the rise down in the front if you want it under the belly button (see photo at right). They also take longer to dry than a regular newborn prefold diaper. You can find Imagine fitted diapers at Nicki’s.
Thirsties Natural Newborn Fitted: I was surprised at how much smaller and narrower this diaper is compared to our other Thirsties newborn styles (natural and stay-dry AIO). However, it does have a lot of absorbency inside: 7 layers of bamboo/cotton. Three layers are in the core and 4 are in the snap-in soaker pad. It has a snap down center to accommodate the cord stump. The fabric is natural-colored cotton but you can choose from 3 different snap colors.
Of all the diapers we tested on Mary Kate, this one took the longest to dry. It needs at least a cycle and a half. And because it’s so small, she grew out of it very quickly (Mary Kate dropped to just under 9 pounds after birth).
It retails for $17.50 at Kelly’s Closet, Nicki’s and Diaper Junction.
Nicki’s Bamboo Overnight Fitted: There are two versions of this diaper – one size and newborn (which fits 5 to 13 pounds and costs just $10). You can snap down the front to keep the umbilical stump uncovered. The silky soft 100% is perfect for sensitive newborn skin. There is a tiny little 5-layer snap-in soaker included. The outer is 3 layers giving you 8 altogether. Because the insert is only partially attached, it helps the diaper to dry in an average amount of time. You’ll see some fraying and loose threads at the edges of this diaper, but I guess that’s just a part of the manufacturing process; it does not affect function at all. Mary Kate was 9 pounds at birth and she was actually able to wear this all night the first week or so, which is hard to find when it comes to newborn styles. I like it paired with the roomy pull-on Nicki’s cover, for more airflow. You can find both with free shipping at Nicki’s Diapers. And yes, you read that price right – this fitted diaper is only ten bucks!
The waistband is very similar to the Imagine 2.0 newborn fitted (reviewed above) in that there are a limited number of snaps. You can see the large space between waist snaps in the photos below. If you have a small or very thin newborn, this may be a concern. However, since it’s a fitted and will go under a cover, even a less than snug fit at the waist may still work. Mary Kate was 9 pounds at birth so we had no problems with the waistband issue.
Ecoposh OBV Newborn Fitted: From the folks at Kangacare/Rumparooz comes a very unique newborn fitted made from recycled water bottles, bamboo and cotton. It’s 7-layers thick and includes a snap-in soaker pad. I really like the plush velour inner fabric, and the fact that the size range is fairly generous at 5 to 14 pounds. There’s a snap-down feature at the front for babies who still have a cord stump that’s healing. This is a really thirsty diaper that held Camille all night, even with all the nursing.
Drawbacks are: it’s an expensive diaper (at $23.99), the dry time is pretty long, and the bamboo blend fabric can get a little stiff over time (as compared to 100% cotton). You can find the Ecoposh newborn diaper with free shipping at Nicki’s and at Kelly’s Closet.
Sustainablebabyish Snapless Mini: This is another snapless fitted, but really ups the ante in terms of fit, softness and absorption. You might only be able to afford one “Sloomb” diaper, but it will be well worth it! This is the snuglist, squishiest fitted we have and I’m pretty sure Ingrid loves wearing it. Made of a bamboo and organic cotton terry blend, the leg openings are turned and topstitched for comfort. It includes 1 diaper pin and a cute little “mini” doubler made of organic bamboo fleece. It takes several washes to prep both diaper and insert; after washing and drying the insert edges curl up, which is kind of unfortunate in terms of aesthetics. I prefer a Boingo over a pin to fasten the diaper, but use a very light touch with the Boingo since the fibers are more delicate than plain cotton. Of ALL the fitteds I’ve tried, it’s definitely the most absorbent. You can fold down the rise for a custom fit if your newborn is smaller or shorter than average. You can find this diaper at Kelly’s Closet, and Nicki’s Diapers.
Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted: This adorable little fitted features a cotton knitted outside, a hidden layer of organic bamboo fleece and a cotton velour inner that is a deep turquoise to coordinate with the owl print. The rise snaps down to keep the fabric from rubbing the cord stump. This diaper fits Erik like a second skin – I can’t wait to get it washed and dried so I can put it on him again and I’ll be SO sad when he outgrows it! It’s extremely absorbent, too. The snap-in soaker features 2 separate petals so you can customize your absorbency level, plus it helps the diaper to dry more quickly. This diaper is soft and cushy but not too bulky, although it won’t work under every newborn cover, especially the really trim ones like the Bummis Super Lite. The gentle leg gussets have held in all of Erik’s explosions. An absolutely gorgeous WAHM fitted – no complaints here at all. And if you can believe it, these started at just $12.00. You can check Maria’s Hyena Cart store for in stock diapers and inquire about customs.
GMD Workhorse Fitted: Green Mountain Diapers is known for its famous cotton prefold diapers. In fact, they won the Padded Tush Stats 2012 award for Prefold of the Year. They also make these great “Workhorse Fitteds” which are made from that same lovely and absorbent prefold material. They come in all sizes; I had to snag a newborn! It also included a tiny little doubler, also made of prefold material. This may not be a very fancy fitted, but it gets the job done, and for $5.50 you can’t beat the price. The absorbency level is not as high as a hybrid or bamboo/hemp fitted, but it’s still pretty darn good, especially if you purchase some of the matching Cloth-Eez doublers that Green Mountain sells. Another thing I really like about the Workhorse? It’s trim enough to fit under any newborn cover, unlike some of the other plusher, bulkier fitteds. You can buy these with or without snaps, in bleached and unbleached fabric. The unbleached is my choice because it’s softer and hides stains a bit better.
Organic Caboose Newborn Fitted: This is an organic cotton diaper which fits from about 5 to 12 pounds, so it runs a little on the smaller side of the scale. For Erik, that meant a great fit. The organic cotton is very soft and cozy and I love that Organic Caboose products are made in the USA. The newborn fitted features a snap-down rise for the cord stump. It’s not the most absorbent diaper in our stash, but it does a good job. Our Cloth-Eez doublers fit perfectly inside to boost the absorbency. If you want 100% gentle and natural for your new little one, this fitted is perfect. UPDATE: Organic Caboose only makes this diaper in two sizes now – small and large.
Thirsties Duo Fab Fitted, Size 1: This is a hugely popular fitted diaper and for good reason. It’s made of super soft and plush cotton/poly velour fabric and is especially contoured to fit little bodies. I really like the stretchy wings – they make it so easy to get a snug fit around Erik’s waist. This very thirsty little diaper can absorb up to 18 ounces of fluid. When your baby gets older, Thirsties also has a Size 2 version of their Fab Fitted. They dry in a normal amount of time and have a little “tunnel-like” pocket that you can use to stuff an extra insert into. It’s one of my favorites although we couldn’t buy more than a few because at $16.50 they are on the higher end of the price scale. NOTE: This diaper has been discontinued by the manufacturer.
Kissaluvs Fitted, Size 0: The Kissaluvs fitted is an economical option among the major brands. At $14.95 Kissaluvs delivers a very basic and well-fitting diaper made from squishy cotton terry. It’s pretty cute, too (I love the stitching around the edges). There’s also a tiny microfiber soaker sandwiched inside for added leak protection. This is one I reach for a lot, and I’d love to get more colors (they come in some really cute pastels). NOTE: This diaper has been discontinued by the manufacturer.
Tinkle Trap Prefitted: This is another great little prefold fitted, similar in concept to the GMD Workhorse. Made of soft unbleached prefold fabric, the Tinkle Traps are edged in cute rainbow stitching and feature a tiny little soaker which is partially sewn inside. These need to be fastened closed with pins, a Snappi or a Boingo (my choice). The wings on this diaper are very long so I’m hoping that will mean Erik can wear it much longer, even when he chunks up a bit. You can find these at the Tinkle Traps website for $9.75 each. I actually prefer the fit of these over the GMD Workhorse fitteds; availability is limited, though, so you have to wait sometimes to get them.
Little Bear Bums Dyed Prefitted: Yesterday I told you how much I love the Little Bear Bums microfleece cover. They also sell these beautiful little prefitteds, which are like the Workhorse and Tinkle Trap diapers mentioned above. The soaker is sewn inside this one, so it’s not removable, but it still dries in a moderate amount of time. What makes these extra special is that they are sewn of soft Indian cotton and then hand-dyed in lovely colors. I love the deep blue and green! They are $9.50 at Little Bear Bums.
Sandy’s Fitted by Motherease, Size XS: Another soft little terry diaper…the Sandy’s Fitted has quite a following among cloth diapering mothers, and comes to us from Canada. The stretchy cotton terry feels like a very soft and squishy bath towel and is colored with low-impact, eco-friendly dyes. There are lots of fun, bright colors to choose from. The fit is roomier than the other fitteds we tried – it’s similar to the look you would get with a pair of old-school pull-on Gerber pants. Sandy’s are known for running on the bigger size; I know moms who have size small on their year old babies. So the XS or “newborn” diaper starts out pretty big. You’ll need to make sure your cover is roomy enough to accommodate the Sandy’s fitteds (the entire Motherease line is designed to work perfectly with them). Nicki’s also makes a budget pull-on cover that will work well. We found our Sandy’s for $12.50 each at Nicki’s Diapers.
I’m most interested in trying the Thirsties brand fitted. 🙂
I think I like the Workhorse Fitteds the best … not for the looks obviously, but the price and functionality. The little owl diaper on the top of this page definitely wins in the department of cuteness for me, but in the end I rather have two diapers than just one for the same money.
I like the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted!
I am most interested in the Sandys or GMD fitteds. We have only ever tried the Thirsties brand and we were not fans so I am hoping that others will be better for us. 🙂
Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted, I really love seeing pictures of Erik (I think he looks like he is embarassed by the GMD Workhorse!) I cant remember the item he was wearing , it was one of these NB diap posts, that he was doing a fist pump but omg I think he should model all diapers!
He does have a pretty funny expression on his face, huh? I like going back through the photos and seeing all his different moods. Newborns are pretty funny (as well as adorable)! Anne
I really like the thirsties fitted!!
Fitteds are the only kind of diaper I don’t have in my stash, so I am really looking forward to trying them for the next baby. I like the Trinkle Trap and GMD workhorse fitteds for the great pricing…I will definitely be going the economy route for newborn cloth diapering 🙂
I am interested in the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted.
I didn’t use cloth during the NB phase with my son, but since ~8 months I’ve really liked both Thirsties Fab Fitteds (for nights, with an extra insert in the tunnel) and GMD Workhorses (for day, either coverless with frequent changes or under wool longies).
I love the snaps and the adorable prints of the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted
The GMD workhorse fitteds are fabulous! I really like them for newborns, they just fit so well. I am interested in trying the Thirsties fab fitted duo size 1 the go around. 🙂
I like the idea of Kissaluvs under woolen covers for night time.
I haven’t purchased any fitteds yet but perhaps I will have to try… Love all the economically-friendly options.
I love the Thirsties Duo Fab Fitteds (except for the price!)
I have no experience with using a fitted on a newborn but based on the review and what I have heard from others, the one I would love to try is the thirsties fitted!!
the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted is super cute and the price looks pretty tempting!
I think Baby Coon designs is my favorite of all of them, cute, cord snap, looks easy to use.
Kissaluvs Fitted is my favorite
Happy Little Llama looks adorable! I’d love to try that brand, but it looks like it would be way out of my budget to get many of them. Baby Coon also looks super cute, and affordable!
I loved Happy Little Llama Organic Bamboo Fitted! Just because my son has a blanket and pillow that is made with the same print! But he isn’t a newborn…we are just starting at 19 mos but I have a baby due at the beginning of April 🙂
I’ve never use fitteds, but plan to buy some of the GMD Workhorse for my new little one due in
April.
I’m looking at the green mountain diapers. They sound like they work well and are priced great. They aren’t the cutest but I figure I could just get cute covers:)
The Baby Coon is super cute and I like the customized absorbancy part. But I also liked the GMD’s price. 🙂 I have a Kissa fitted- which I love- but it isn’t the newborn so it’s pretty bulky on her… My daughter is 14 lbs. (3.5mo) and we have been using since she was around 10lbs. The Kissa price is a little steep, but I could definitely see myself using that one too! I like the Happy Little Llama, but could not see myself paying that much for a diaper- we just don’t have the funds…
Next time I am SO using cloth from birth! I have been swearing I’m done (Baby G was #5) but looking at Erik makes me feel like maybe I’m not! He is adorable!!!
These posts are just a wealth of information! Thank you so much for all of your reviews! I haven’t tried any fitteds on a newborn just yet, but I did order a kissaluv size 0 that I’m anxious to try in June.
I like the Thirsties Duo Fab Fitted
The Baby Coon Fitteds are so cute, but I’d probably be more likely to try GMD Workhorse Fitteds because of the price and just buy cute covers!
I’ve tried the Sandy and I like that- it seems to hold a lot! I’d still like to try the Thirsties!
Love the Baby Coons! I’ve never tried any from WAHM, but I think I’m going to have to give this mom a try!!
I am most interested in the GMD workhorse fitted and the tinkle trap prefitted. They are very economical. That is an awesome price for the baby coon bamboo fitted and cute prints! Thanks for the great review.
I’ll be using GMD WHs when baby girl is born!
Fitteds have always intimidated me a little. I love how easy these seem. I have been wanting to try the GMD or the thirsties fitted. They both seem like a great newborn diaper
I think I would like the organic caboose the best!
Would love to try the Baby Coon Organic fitted!
I liked the baby coon organic bamboo fitted. Would love to try one.
I think I will try the workhorse diapers for the price and function. What a bargain. I might also want to Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted diapers.
My favorite would be the Baby Coon. It seems really absorbent and it comes in cute colors 🙂
LOVE the baby coon organic fitted!
I’d like to try the Baby Coon and Thirsties Duo fitteds. I have a bunch of Kissaluvs, and they have been good also.
They all look so soft and fluffy! I like the Kissaluvs best though. It looks super soft.
I like the Organic Caboose Newborn Fitted and the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted. They both look so soft!
I love them all, but one of my favorites is the Organic Caboose Newborn Fitted 🙂
I am a die hard Thirsties fan!
Love the GMDs
I like the Baby Coon organic fitteds!
I’d LOVE to try a GMD Workhorse Fitted.
I’ve been wanting to try the GMD Workhorse and the Kissaluvs fitted. They both look so great.
I love the workhorse!
I love the one by Baby Coon Designs! I like that it snaps and its so cute!
I love the GMD fitted, never tried it, but they look pretty awesome. 🙂 Have I mentioned how much I am loving this event? I love all the different diapers you are trying, it gives me ideas for when baby #3 comes in July! I used cloth on one newborn, but I’m trying to decide if and how I should revise my newborn stash. 🙂
Thanks for sticking with me, Raquel! 🙂
The Thirsties fitteds look like such a great fit! I had never really paid attention to those before, I assumed a two-size fitted would be too bulky for a newbie.
I really like the look of the Kissaluvs. Can’t wait to use them on my firstborn!!
My guy is 22 lbs and we have been curious about the Thirsties fab fitted. Thanks for the honest review!
I want to try the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted.
Baby girl hasn’t arrived yet, but all of these look great. Hopefully, I can try a few when she gets here!
Definitely trying the GMD Workhouse Fitteds! Skin friendly cotton, great price, great reviews!
I must say I love this post. It must’ve taken a while to finish. Great job, Anne!
Thank you so much, Agnes! Anne
I would like to try the organic caboose. They all look really fun!
I haven’t tried any yet–my little one is due ONE WEEK from TODAY! 🙂 I would like to try the thirsties the most, I think….so hard to choose!
I really wanna try the kissaluvs fitteds
so many choices!! I love love the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted…so many cute choices!!
i love the thirsties duo size 1
I love the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted!!
I like the Baby Coon Organics. They have a nice price and a nice variety of prints on their etsy site!
I like the Baby Coon Organics. They have a nice price and a nice variety of prints on their etsy site!
I love the look of the baby coon one!
I really like GMD Workhorse Fitteds. They get the job done, but without a lot of bulk. I haven’t tried the Thirsties fitted yet, but it’s on my wish list.
I’ve never tried cloth diapering, this would be my first time. The Tinkle Trap Prefitted ones look really nice and the price is awesome too! Will have to put it on my wish list.
I have not tryed fitted yet I ordered some to give thewe will see how it goes, love hearing of your diaper reviews!
This really helped! I’ve been looking into the Kissaluv’s in a rental package!
I think I’d really like the Organic Caboose fitted. It looks soft. I’ve never tried any of these fitteds before. I’d love to try any, honestly. I do like the ones with the button down for the umbilical stump.
not a bad price for the baby coon design diaper! 🙂
I like the thirsties duo fab fitted because it looks fairly trim.
I like the baby coon organic
I like the Thirsties Duo Fab Fitted
Workhorse fitteds all the way!!!
The organic caboose looks like it is very soft and comfy for little one.
i love the died little bear bums. seeing your baby in the pics may be giving me baby fever. he is so freaking cute. and those teeny diapers throw me over the edge.
Baby Coon looks super soft and adorable, but I’ve always wanted to try kissaluvs!
The Thirsties looks like my favorite! I haven’t tried any fitteds yet, actually just ordered a Thirsties a couple of days ago. It just looks so trim!
love the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted
I’m interested in trying the Kissaluvs and Thirsties !
The Baby Coon diaper is definitely going to have to be added to my stash. It looks awesome. I also like the Cute Caboose one.
I would love to use the kissaluvs on my little newborn!
I would most like to try the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted but I would also be interested in the GMD fitted because of the price
Organic Caboose Newborn Fitted: they seem so soft!
So excited I have a bunch of Organic Caboose Newborn fits and get to use them in about 3.5 months!
Love the look of the Sandy’s – I didn’t even know they made NB fitteds!
I think the Thirsties Duo fitteds would be my first choice.
I am definitely interested in trying out the Baby Coon newborn fitted, and I wasn’t aware of how thirsty the Thirsties newborn is. 18 oz. is a LOT of liquid – even my Freetime only holds 12 oz! I have purchased some Kissaluvs used and will be interested to see how they work. Another one I have on my radar is the Boogie Bear Creations newborn fitted – I love her one-sizes fitteds a lot!
I’ve used the Thirsties fitteds on newborns and loved them. I’d like to try some Kissaluvs for the next baby.
Love the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted! Super cute at a great price!
I also liked my kissaluvs. I didn’t get my Thirsties until later (bought used), and I’m just about to retire it. It’s not making it to 18 lbs for us (in the rise), but 16 is still pretty good.
<3 the happy little llamas!
Though I tend to be partial to cute prints, I like the idea of the GMD Workhorse Fitted
I like the Happy Little Llama
Happy Little Llamas!!! Their diapers are amazing! So so soft and squishy. Bamboo velour are my all time favorite. 🙂
I love GMD Workhorses!
I like the GMD workhorses
Love love love these reviews!! I can’t stop reading them over and over!! I’m so excited to cloth my first LO!! I really like the baby coons and the little bear bums dyed!! I love that you have economical choices on here! Thanks for all the tips and pictures and the time and effort!!! It is greatly appreciated!!
Kelsi, so nice of you to say so! It has been a lot of work but also fun and of course, working with my newborn son is a pleasure! 🙂 Anne
I like the baby coon bamboo fitted because of the fun prints
I love the coon ones! also thinking of trying the imagine version of the workhorse and the thirties! I love the size1 duo lines but never tried the fitted 🙂
I am expecting our first and bought a lot of the kissaluv fitteds, but I’m interested in the GMD workhorses too.
I want to try the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted:)
I will most likely try the Thirsties, Kissaluvs, and GMD. I love how affordable the GMD Workhorse Diapers are and I will probably order a few when I get my prefolds next week!
The Baby Coon look so comfortable and well made! Never heard of them before, so an interesting find…
I’d like to start out trying Tinkle Trap Prefitted
These are all so adorable! I’m most interested in trying a Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted; the prints are so cute!!
I love the GMD Workhorse fitted!
I like the Baby Coon organic bamboo fitted diaper the best.
OMG the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted and the Happy Little Llama Organic Bamboo Fitted both look great. I love patterns and Bamboo!
Little Bear Bums are the only ones on here I have tried. It was one of my first diaper reviews and I love them 😉 I wouldnt mind trying the Swaddlebees!
I really want to try Happy Little Llama bamboo fited or GMD workhorse fitteds!
I’ve never tried fitted, but if I was to, the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted look adorable and right up my alley!
Its hard to choose between the Motherease Sandys and GMD!
Adorable baby! They all look so cozy, but I particularly love the Baby Coon!!
Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted
Happy little llama
The baby coon organic bamboo fitted looks like a really nice cloth diaper with minimal to no leaks!
Fave: Kissaluvs Fitted
I would LOVE to try a Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted on our newest little one (expected 10.5.13)!!
I would love to try the bamboocoon organic bamboo fitted!
My favorite was the happy little llama, but I can’t pay those prices. Did you use covers with these, or no?
With the really absorbent fitteds like the Happy Little LLama and Baby Coon, we could go without a cover for a short while, but all the others I used with a cover.
I’ve never tried the Thirsties Fab Fitted, but I love all their other products. I’d really like to try one of their fitteds if we have another little one!
For a newborn the GMD Workhorse Fitted is my favorite fitted.
I like the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted
I would love to try the Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted!
Love Happy Little Llama and can’t wait to try Working Horse fitted.
I’d love to try the GMD Workhorse on my next baby!

I love the owl print.

Thanks for the great post. I was really curious about newborn fitteds, but a lot of people don’t seem to review newborn diapers. I have so many new sites to check out from your recommendations. Some of the prices are so much cheaper than I thought they would be.
I like the Baby Coon!
Thanks again for anther great one stop review several newborn options. I think the Baby Coon spoils be my favorite of these although they all sound like they would work well
I followed a comment you left on a DS thread about the baby coon diapers. It introduced me to your blog, and I’ve been stalking the Baby Coon Designs Facebook and Etsy pages since. I’m just waiting and hoping our tax return is good so I can talk my DH into some Baby Coon fitteds for our little girl due in May.
Baby Coon Organic Bamboo Fitted looks amazing. I think it would be my favorite.
I like the Fishes and stars print
The only newborn fitted I’ve ever used is the KL0, but I think the Baby Coon diapers look lovely! I love the fabric, and they look super cozy. Not to mention they are bamboo! I would love the chance to try one!
I’ve used Sandy’s Motherease fitteds on both of my girls. Love them, especially for overnight.
My favorite fitted you reviewed was the Baby Coon–I so want some of those!!!
FIshes and Stars is absolutely adorable.
Which cover worked best over GMDs and fab fitteds? Thanks 🙂
The Swaddlebees Capri size one gives great coverage over those two brands of fitteds. If you are looking for a cheaper option, Sweet Pea newborns (sold at Green Baby Goods http://www.greenbabygoods.net/?AffId=6) and Thirsties wraps also work great. ~Anne
One more question for you, I just got my first boingos and they work great on my GMD red workhorses. But since you probably just use a single boingo on a newborn with workhorses or tinkle traps, does the center panel stay up? Do the boingo teeth dig in all the way through the wings on these?
Thanks!
Absolutely! I had no problems with the center panel sagging, even with just one Boingo. And even though the teeth are at a different angle than a Snappi, they dig in well. ~Anne
So far we have a Kissaluvs and an Imagine Bamboo fitted for our newborn stash. Would love to add about 3 GMD workhorses as well as a Baby Coons. I saw her cute diapers on etsy and love the prints!
I do, too, Laura! If and when I have another newborn, I’ll definitely order another Baby Coon. 🙂 ~Anne
Fitteds and covers is the route were taking with baby #2! love them. workhorse are the ones I am leaning towards
Love the Kissaluvs for newborns, we have 10 of them that have been used on 2 newbies so far and about to be a third (due in a month). 😀 They fit great and have held up so well over time! I use them with Thirsties Duo Wraps size 1 and am going to try the Assunta Store covers this time also.
It’s great to hear long-term reviews of a cloth diaper, so thanks for sharing that, Cate! ~Anne
I didn’t cloth diaper with my first but plan to with my second due in Dec. I plan on using Sustainablebabyish Snapless Mini. Thanks for the review!
I’d love to try a Coon organic!
Our absolute favorite is Kissa’s newborn fitteds with size 1 Thirstie covers. We are actually still able to use them on our skinny 15.5 pound 6 month old.
Diapers better for the environment and better for the baby less diaper rash
Are you going to try Ecoposh fitteds???
Maybe! But the price tag is pretty high…… ~Anne Marie
