• Have a learning curve to use, even more
so than prefolds.
Not exact matches
I purchased a pack of diaper rite
prefolds a couple weeks ago and absolutely loved them.The Thirties covers are by far my favorite cover, my daughter seems
so comfortable in them and the velcro closure is much easier
than the snaps for my squirmy baby.
Pockets seem like more work
than I'd want with a newborn
so I'd probably go with
prefolds and covers
What did work was: Kawaii Newborn Pure and Natural pocket diapers
Prefolds and Flip covers (with hook and loop) These diapers both have hook and loop closures rather
than snaps around the waist,
so it was possible to get a tight enough fit to make up for some of the gapping around the thigh.
It seems like the extra layers of
prefold + cover helps contain the runny newborn poop
so much better
than a one - layered disposable can, or a pocket diaper that has the effect of a one - layered diaper.
Before long, I went back and bought more
prefolds because they worked
so much better for my baby
than pocket diapers.
As a WOHM I would rather switch to disposables
than strip, ever,
so prefolds it is.
So this is a little trimmer
than using two
prefolds.
The shell is narrower and trimmer
than a regular diaper cover,
so you won't be able to add a doubler to it if you use it with
prefolds.
The covers fit longer
than the fitted diapers,
so I was able to continue using them with
prefolds once I had sent back my rental diapers.
Newborn orange edge
prefolds are shorter in length
than green edge Infant
prefolds you'll find elsewhere,
so they really fit.
Re-using the shell saves on laundry (bonus), and the soakers are smaller
than a
prefold (although I hear GroVia makes some great
prefolds)
so the laundry bag doesn't fill up as quick.
But the diapers will be big for the first 6 weeks on a typical newborn - but since size novice light green are 2 layers less in the center
than the size small yellow edge
prefolds are, it is easier to fold them down in back
so they'll fit on a newborn.
