Our son was born two weeks before the due date. He was also 6lbs by the time we got him home.
I figured I had those two weeks to finish my research and shopping for cloth diapers and covers. I didn't. The hospital used Pampers Swaddlers - Size N - on the baby. They worked great, and fit well, but I really detested the baby powder smell, and the reactionary types tell me that phthalates are a no-no.
Disposables are also supposed to give baby more diaper rash. Didn't seem to on this kid until later.
Not surprisingly, the baby survived. Also, the hospital lets you loot the postpartum room, so we made off with enough diapers for a couple weeks, which was great because we didn't have any at home when my wife went into labor.
One of those packets about fills an 8 gallon garbage bag when it's done soaking up baby droppings, though.
Earth: 0. Me: $20 savings.
Next up - cloth diaper covers are too big!!
