2 Econobum covers and 2 Econobum prefolds for $10 shipped

keri1292 · Nov 18, 2011

Great deal for someone wanting to try cloth. I actually like our Econobums. And I don't mind if they get dirty from playing outside sans pants since I got ours cheap in a previous B1G1 sale.

Toys are 20% off with the code GOODGIFT.

I miss having a baby in prefolds

And thanks for the tip.... i will tell my CD'ing friend.... she's been needing more covers!

Do these fit newborns well (like around 8lbs)?

Pixels · Nov 18, 2011

No, they don't start fitting until a bit bigger. Most diapers rated from 8-whatever pounds don't actually fit an 8 pound newborn, though they might fit an 8-pound two week old. Newborns are a different shape than an older baby, even if they are the same weight and length.

They run large on the other end as well, my 30 + pound, 37 inch 3.5yo fits them on the medium rise setting.

Well, I went ahead and ordered one of each trim color.

We're not going to start cloth until the baby is a couple weeks old and we'll have others in case they don't fit right away. Thanks for posting that!

Thanks! DD is starting to outgrow her MEOS diapers (!) She is only 21 lbs! Something about the way she's shaped, I guess. It will be worth trying this. I don't want to spend a ton on new diapers for her because she's showing so much potty-learning readiness (she's finally trying to sign to us when she needs to go!). PLUS, my step-daughter has registered for Econobum diapers so it will give her a chance to see some in person. This is perfect.

I love the covers! I found the prefolds bulky.

Meanwhile my chunky 22lb-er has been on the largest rise and 2nd to the last snaps since he was 9 months. I was actually going to post a "How long did one size dipes actually fit your baby?" question because I can't see how he's going to make it to potty training in any of his one size dipes. His BG pockets are really snug on his thighs. I am cramming him into his FB mediums. The Flips have the best chance for lasting.

I love the covers too. Angela, the prefolds are bulky for itty bitties, so I'd grab some infant size/preemie size prefolds for the beginning. I also found that prepping them by boiling made them shrink more and quilt up nicer. Unfortunately I only did that with the 4 sets I ordered in this sale, so the rest of mine are extra bulky. Just a tip!

My 19.5 lb, 27.5 inch DS has major thigh chub and he is on the medium rise if I trifold a prefold, or the highest rise if he's wearing a fitted. Part of it is the thighs, part of it is just the way he's shaped. As a little guy, he outgrew newborn disposable diapers (several brands) by rise when I still had the tabs overlapping. We had to go to one-size cloth because they gave me the best ability to fit both his rise and his waist.
