I cut up an old towel into small squares and hemmed them and used them with water - washed them with the nappies. dont be too concerned with baby cosmetics either - they dont need moisturiser, talcum powder or anything except for a bit of soap and water.

I made them in an hourglass shape, slightly bigger at the back then in the front. The corners would overlap when put on the baby but i never need to put velcro. The lady who sold you the diapers is rights- as long as the wraps close- you don't need pins (scary) or velcro(can be rough on the baby)- or snappi (never could figure it out). Also- You can make your own wraps from fleece. Same hourglass shaper, slightly bigger. I did put velcro in them when the baby was young, and moved onto elastic as he grew. A life saver for me---use a fleece liner inside the clothe diaper for nights. it wicks the moisture away from the baby or else they cry VERY loudly. Good Luck---I timed myself once-the whole cycle of chaging-nursing-burping, changing- took me 45 minutes. Ahh those were the days. Seriously- Congratulations.

Being careful, of course, not to scratch my head.

My hourglasses have worked better because they are so thick. The wraps never get wet and I can reuse them right away. Natalie outgrew her fitted velcro diapers really quick, I am glad I didn't pay a whole lot for them. Do you have something that the baby can jump in? Natalie's exersaucer let her jump and bounce around, she had a good old time in it. http://neatokimmo.blogspot.com/ Are you going to make hourglass ones or fitted with velcro?

It's what we use instead of pins. http://www.thegoodmama.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=71_94&products_id=525 Pins are kind of a pain but it's nice to have some more closure so that you can reuse the covers instead of having to change them out with every diaper. Especially early on with breastfed newborn poop! Have you considered a snappi? It’s what we use instead of pins.
