Brand new cloth user, need advice

Hi, I really want to start using cloth nappies but I'm a) clueless and b) not flush.
I have bought a couple of different ones on eBay but being clueless, they have arrived and look like they are all too big at the moment. Dd is 6weeks old and nearly 9lb. She is our first child and I've never experienced cloth nappies before.

I bought fuzzibunz medium perfect size and some little blooms along with one totsbots which may fit, and one dudeybaba with owls on that I haven't researched yet that was thrown in for free.

can anyone tell me if there are any birth to potty ones that might be worth getting, or just throw some advice for what to look for on eBay that will fit. or should we just wait a bit longer til she's a bit bigger? or will any of the ones I bought work? I may just try them anyway but I'm really at sea here!

Birth to potty rarely fit "well" when they are very young. I found Easy Peasy one size fantastic from bith to potty - but the nippa fastening ones as they are so much more adjustable. Best wraps or motherease air flow, or the popolini ones with poppers that are very much teh same.

I'm not sure if you're still looking, but I too was completely clueless about the whole nappy thing. I was recommended to try www.thenappylady.co.uk and found it really useful. You can fill out a questionnaire and then she will get back to you recommending the best nappies (plus explain what it all means!!) You also get a 5% discount if you buy through the site afterwards. Cloth definitely isn't cheap but works out in the long run! Good luck.
