ktgrok Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I have diapered both my kids in cloth, and have another on the way. I need a recommendation for a cover for the first week or so, when the stump is still on. With my son we used proraps newborn, and those worked well. But my daughter was too big for them at 9lbs, and we had to use xs thirties. They rubbed the stump and it ended up all gross and disgusting. Is there another newborn cover that works well while they still have the stump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 My favorite were the wool type and it was easy to just fold it down and pin. Dang I'm trying to remember the name. They were the kind with snaps not a pull on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the kind with snaps not a pull on I used wool wraps too. Mine were made for us by my sweet aunt-in-law. I used snappies to close them without snagging shockingly. I LOVE those covers!!

justLisa Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I KNEW I'd remember! Here is what I used. These are THE best diaper covers EVER. http://www.loveybums.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=3 The lightweight wool jersey and regular wool jersey are just fabulous. I just pinned down the very front.

Punchie Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I used the XS/NB size of Classic Proraps with my 3. They have an umbilical dip on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 I used the XS/NB size of Classic Proraps with my 3. They have an umbilical dip on the front. Yes, that's what I used with my son, but my daughter was too big for them the day she was born...she was 9lbs and her rolls had rolls.

justLisa Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Check my link above. But also have you thought about using an AIO type? Like fuzzy bunz? They are easy to fold the front down and pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the look of those wool ones, and will order a few....but the price is a bit hefty, lol. I do have some one size pocket diapers, I'm just not sure they will fit a newborn well....but that is a good idea to try. I hadn't thought of folding them and pinning them down.

lotsofpumpkins Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) I liked the nylon pull-on covers for the newborn stage. I liked Dappis and Bummis. The Bummis were called Whisper Pants. When my youngest was born, the only covers that worked while he still had his stump were the pull-ons. The wraps rubbed it funny, even though he was 9 lb. The nylon pull-ons are not crinkly and brittle like the gerber vinyl ones. They are soft and hold up very well. http://www.nickisdiapers.com/dappi-nylon-pants-2pack.html http://www.nickisdiapers.com/bummis-whisper-pant-diaper-cover.html Edited July 11, 2012 by lotsofpumpkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found though that baby really can stretch the size limit of those ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godsaggie Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I used the XS/NB size of Classic Proraps with my 3. They have an umbilical dip on the front. Yup...me too. Loved these. I actually just gave them to a friend who is just had a baby. She really likes them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Maybe MotherEase Air Flows (MEAF). They are not a wrap, so I think they work better in that area. (They come in small and XS, iirc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they are just too small....my under 8lb son fit in them perfectly, but my 9lb roly poly daughter was too big for them at birth.

ktgrok Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 ahah! Found some rumperrooz newborn covers. They are newborn size, but have a rise adjustment and go up to 12 pounds! Those should work. And come in really cute colors and prints, lol. I'll get a few of the wool too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I don't remember last time with dd1 I couldn't use cd's until she was a month old, due to the house fire and not having my own laundry. I think we might have just done prefolds folded down along with the covers folded a bit as well. IIRC the cord only lasted 3 days or so though.

Kathryn Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I used Thirsties Duo Wraps when YDS was a newborn. I moved to pockets when he was a month old and used mostly Rumparooz and BumGenius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 I used Thirsties Duo Wraps when YDS was a newborn. I moved to pockets when he was a month old and used mostly Rumparooz and BumGenius. We used those with my daughter, the Thirsties, but they did come up over the cord...she was short and fat, and if this baby is the same I bet I have the same problem. I think the Rumperooz newborn covers will work, because they have an adjustable rise...so I can put it on the shorter rise to avoid the stump but they still go up to 12lbs so the baby had BETTER fit in them, lol.

Verity Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 All this talk of cloth diapers makes me want another baby! :drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama2cntrykids Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I would suggest either Thirsties OR Bummis. I used both on my baby when she was a nb. Now, if I could only get this rash to go away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 We used Thirsties and Proraps, but I'm thinking we used the older version of BumGenius on them as newborns too (2.0? 3.0?), before they moved to snaps instead of velcro. The tops sort of curled out away from their cord stumps, especially for my oldest, who was a tank at birth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 lol....the two covers I said did not/would not work are the ones people are recommending the most often! I'll let you know how the rumperooz work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
