Moving On Up......

.....to the next size diapers that is. At 1 month old Maisie weighs 11 lbs 7 oz, that is 1 lb 7 oz outside the weight range for the newborn prefold diapers she has been sporting since birth, so no wonder why they are a little tight and I was having such difficulty securing them!!! As you can tell from the pictures (which were taken about 2 weeks ago on 11/19/11) the diapers fit, albeit, a little snug, but I got them on her and we had no leaks, actually we very, very rarely get leaks with cloth diapers and if we do it is usually user error. Money savings aside the "no leaks" is another big lure to cloth diapers, we have yet to have a major "blow out" with either child in cloth diapers. The newborn diapers might have fit her for a bit longer if I did not have to put a preemie prefold underneath as a doubler to increase absorbency. Luckily, with a bigger size prefold, like the ones she is now, she does not need a doubler because the diaper is bigger therefore more absorbency.
