Fav Snappi nappy would be Mandy Macs. They are OSFM as well and you can get them for a great price.

The benefit of the OSFM is that she can then customise the rise to suit.

My kids are beanpole babies too. Mandy Macs are great for them.
I haven't tried much else on newborns, but you could also look at side snap nappies. They tend to fit better on skinny babies. Princess Pockets smalls fit from 5-6kg if you're looking second-hand. Other side snaps for a newborn... Bumwear Petite pockets (fits newborn to 8-9kg).
Otherwise, I just get a good cover and use trifolds pad-folded and laid in the cover. Makes for easy clean-up when I'm changing ten nappies a day (and that's just the newborn... more like 16 nappies a day for 2 in cloth).
