Product Description
bumGenius Newborn cloth diapers fit from 6-12 pounds. They are intended for a newborn and fit low, below the navel, to keep the umbilical area dry. This diaper is designed to fit during that itty-bitty newborn stage.
Stretchy tabs, hook & loop closures and ultra-gentle leg/back casings guarantee a great fit every time. The soakers are made of our exclusive Cotton Babies microfiber terry. This ensures that your diaper isn't just super-absorbent, it also dries quickly. Just like our pockets, the suede cloth lining keeps your baby's bottom dry and free of irritation caused by wetness and ultra-gentle elastic won't leave red marks.

By Julia D.
I was thrilled when I first found these diapers - all in ones are easy to use, and the bumGenius newborn is adorable on those tiny bottoms.Pros: - The ease of an all-in-one, especially if you are newbie to cloth diapers, or if your little one has other caregivers. - Nice snug fit for those tiny bodies.Cons: - My daughter outgrew the absorbency capability before she outgrew the size. Since it's an all-in-one and it's so tiny, it's difficult to add inserts for extra absorbency. - No newborn cord cut-out. My daughter's cord fell off very early (4 days) so this wasn't a huge issue, but these diapers still irritated her belly button for several days after the cord fell off.Overall?I only had three of these, and they were my go-to diaper the first month when I wanted something "cute" if we were going to be somewhere where people would see her diapers. But she outgrew the absorbency quickly, and there are better options out there for sizing and newborn cord issues. I would buy these again for the cute factor if money weren't an issue, but if you're trying to be penny-wise, keep looking! (My favorites are the Softbums Echo).

This diaper fit my almost-7lb newborn right away. Trim and of course cute! She's now almost 4 weeks and while it still fits great, I have to change her more frequently due to the absorbancy change. (about every 2hours). So this isn't a complete dealbreaker, but if you're a busy mom of multiples, need a going out/daycare diaper or overnight, I suggest investing in the BumGenius 4.0***UPDATE: I ventured into using inserts and doublers recently (Hemp only because this is not a pocket diaper) and discovered that a good hemp insert on top will extend the wear time of this diaper. Woo! This would be a great idea for parents who want to extend the life of this diaper especially if it still fits their baby and you don't feel like you wasted your money on the diaper AND because there is strong likelihood that this may be one of the few diapers that actually fit your baby from day one (such was the case with our baby). I know some reviews say "don't waste your money, just get an AIO', but I can't agree. AIOs were enormous on my almost 7lb newborn, so it's worth a shot to invest in 1 or 2 or these and rotate maybe with some prefolds especially if cloth diapering from day 1 is important to you. My favorite hemp insert is BabyKicks. Hope this helps.

By Monkey Momma
Being that my 5 week old is going to be my last baby, I decided to splurge on some of her baby gear. When I began cloth diapering 12 years ago, I had always used prefolds for the newborn stage and thought it would be fun to get some cute diapers for this time around. I invested in 14 of these dipes and I really wish that I hadn't purchased so many of them.My baby came home from the hospital weighing 6 lbs 13 ounces and was 18.5" long. The diapers didn't fit right at first. They fit nicely around her tummy (although the rise is much too high for the umbilical cord) but was too lose around her legs.Because these diapers irritated her umbilical cord (even when folded down) and the leg openings were too large, I had to wait until she was 2 weeks old to begin using them. At that time, they worked and fit amazingly well. I initially loved them. However, by 4 weeks of age, she "outgrew" the absorbancy and leaked through these diapers constantly. (This wasn't a repelling issue and I change diapers every 1 - 2 hours during the day.) I don't consider her a heavy wetter. Bumgenius does offer newborn doublers for these diapers, but it makes them quite bulky and sort of defeats the purpose of spending extra money on a diaper that is supposed to be an "all-in-one."Now that she is 5 weeks old and 9 lbs 15 ounces, these diapers are starting to get too tight around her tummy. They also don't seem like they would hold up all that well. I used these in a rotation of 36 diapers for a mere 3 weeks. They are pilly, the outside has a bit of wear in the back where the velcro tabs rub on them and the velcro tabs look like they are beginning to curl. I have washed these according to manufacturer's instructions. I've also been washing diapers for years - so I'm not inexperienced with this. I've never had another brand of diaper wear like this. Overall, I am pretty disappointed with these.
