One-size vs Sized!
Many pocket diapers and AIOs are available in sized or one-size varieties.
Sized simply means they come in small, medium, large, etc. Sized diapers are more expensive in the long run because you have to buy new diapers for each size. They are, however, more trim-fitting and less bulky on smaller babies than one-size diapers. The benefit of sized diapers is that they will usually fit a newborn-smallish baby right away.
One-size diapers are cheaper in the long run because they typically adjust to fit a baby from 8-10lbs all the way to toddlerhood (30-45lbs). They have either fold or snap down rise adjustments (snap it all the way small for newborn sized unsnap completely for large/toddler size). OS diapers usually won't fit a newborn right away because the leg holes are too big. They can sometimes look pretty bulky on younger babies, but you can always use a smaller/thinner insert to help with this. Most of our diapers are OS (one-size) because we started using cloth at 4 months.
