Working out newborn nappies

I've been playing with a few different styles, trying to work out what sizing would last the longest for a newborn in cloth. I don't want to make a heap of tiny nappies that only fit for a week, and don't want to make them too big in case we have a little babe!

So I've decided the majority of our stash with be fitteds, with an adjustable rise, ie. 2 rows of snaps...









On the smallest setting, with cross over snaps...
The leg holes are tiny, it would fit the littlest of wee babies.



The top folds down



On smallest setting, with Darling Diapers free pattern for a tiny-newborn fitted on the left, and on the right, Darling Diapers Unlimited newborn sized AI2 (which turned out more like a small - note the leg hold sizing)



Same again, with the new fitted on the smallest setting on the top row of snaps



And the largest setting on the top row of snaps




I'm going to fiddle with the snap placement a bit so the large size will actually go one more snap out, lasting even longer. :) Just have to fiddle with the size of the space in between the snaps.

So it's a nice wide range of sizes... even a tiny baby with fat legs, or a pot-bellied babe with skinny legs. Now to make some proper ones when my new Jersey Knit arrives next week...
