Newborn prefolds

What are your favorites/favorite covers?  Are snappis a must?

For newborn I loved my RaR newborn covers and my Blueberry Capri cover. I still use the Blueberry at 4+ months.
Also my Thirsties duo size 1. It fits really well from very tiny and is still going strong.

Imagine newborn covers.  Yes snappi unless you have a large stash of covers and don't mind if they get NB poo in them.

Gmd prefolds. Thirsties or rumparooz covers. Yes to snappis.

Thanks all.  So trifold isn't really an option until baby is bigger?

Trifolding doesn't contain NB poo, so it will get on the cover and require a full change. A snappied/pinned prefold , you change the prefold and reuse the cover.

Yes. Once your LO is pooping less (mine only poops 2-3 predictable times a day) OR not pooping explosive EFB runny poops then tri-folding is an option. Once you start solids you're less likely to get poop on the covers from a tri-folded prefolds or pad folded flat.

My LO is 4 months and we use pad folded flats for most changes because poops are less frequent.

@abby8279 and @lbs2012 just curious if you have tried the Imagine newborn AIOs also?

I just asked about that, lots of people like the imagine NB bamboo AIO.

Good to know, I hadn't heard of them before but they have a great price point especially for bamboo

my LO is only 2 weeks old (so I don't have a huge amount of experience with CDing) but we are using size 1 Osocozy unbleached prefolds with SweetPea NB covers with the Angel Wing fold.  After a little bit of trouble shooting to prevent night time leaks (which, it turned out, was our own fault for not tightening the covers enough) we have loved this system.  Cost was a factor for us which is why we went with the above option. DH and I both really like it.  And yes, Snappis are a must IMO!

I used GMD newborn prefolds or newborn fitteds and Thirsties size 1 duo wrap covers. As everyone else said, yes to snappies/boingos/diaper pins.
