Going with FuzziBunz

This second pregnancy of mine has just flown by.  With only seven more weeks to go, I've only begun to chip away at my "to-do" and "to-get" lists.  One of my major decisions was deciding on a cloth diapering system since we won't be using disposables (except for a package right at the beginning).  I started cloth diapering with my first child and made a lot of mistakes...it was such a learning process. Wanting to keep things simple this time-- and use my newfound knowledge-- I ordered some new FuzziBunz Elite One Size Pocket Diapers in neutral colors.  I discovered this diaper after my first baby turned a year old and discovered how to undo the velcro on her BumGenius's...in the middle of the grocery store!  From that point on, a FuzziBunz with snaps carried her through until she completely potty trained.

I did order a whole package of BumGenius one size pocket diapers with the first baby only to discover that she couldn't fit into them until she was about four months old.  Yes, they're advertised as being all you'll ever need from birth to potty training, but I found that not to be true.  For us, it was four months to when-they-figure-out-how-to-unfasten-the-velcro.  Like many other moms, I was disappointed with the velcro closures losing their sticky-ness after a year of use and I'm not willing to sew on one of the refresher kits sold by the company to replace them.  However, with the FuzziBunz I was happy with the snaps and adjustable hidden elastic.  I had fewer problems with leaks, too. Not to mention, I'm able to adjust it to a much smaller size than the BumGenius ones. I've seen online reviews with moms using these for newborns and I'm hoping I can start using them within the first month of the baby's life.
