The Kissaluv's fitted, Size 0, was one of the first diapers we used on Claire when we got home from the hospital. I was a little nervous about using prefolds, so we did fitteds and other easy diapers for the first few days home. The KL0, as they are nicknamed, were great the first few weeks. Around the 2 month mark Claire started to become what is known as a heavy wetter - and started to pee through these rather quickly. They are worn with a cover over them, so they didn't leak, but they were saturated for her.
That being said, I saved them all to use on the next one. They worked so well in the beginning I didn't mind that she outgrew the absorbancy. They still fit really well when we stopped using them, however. She was probably 8 or 9 pounds at that point. They are plenty roomy for most newborns, and also got pretty small for the peanut. You can see in the picture that they are well below the umbilical cord, so they didn't irritate!
Ours were purchased used. One thing I do have to say is these aren't the softest diapers in the world. They are a terry-type material, and since you don't use fabric softeners, they tend to get a little rough after a while. Not awful, but not as soft as others. There are things you can do to soften them - vinegar or Ecover softener (it's cloth diaper safe). I never did, and Claire didn't seem to mind!
We liked these under a Bummis Super Brite cover in the beginning - it fit well under her cord stump. (The Bummis is under the KLO in the picture).
