Will infant PF work for a newborn?

There is a newborn PF package that I'm looking at purchasing. It comes with 30 infant PF, 4 Thirsties duo covers, 2 Snappies and 100 disposible liners. Will these be ok for a nb?

I was also planning on ordering 10 nb PF and 2 nb Proraps. (I already have a couple fitteds and AIO's. WDYT?

You will have to fold them down, which will make them much bulkier in the early stages, but yes, they will work just fine.  I recommend 30 diapers and six covers for a nb if you wash every other day,  so I think the first package you mentioned would be fine if you added two more covers.

We did/do fine with only 3 covers. We have 2 thirsties xs covers and 1 duo cover. Like the duo alot better! GL and congrats!

Well they'll work but as pp mentioned it would make it even bulkier since you have to fold down so much for the cord area.  4 covers should be enough, but I'd get a smaller over for NB phase b/c the Thirsties XS was too high on her belly & irritated her cord area a lot so we couldn't use those initially until it was healed up.  Bummis Super Brite or proraps are good for not hurting the cord area.

The infant size prefolds were too bulky for my liking, once you folded them. We bought Cottonbabies smallest size Indian prefolds and they worked perfectly until she was about 6 weeks old. I have 20 of them and 2 XS Thirsties covers (with the umbilical cord cut out area in the front) if you're interested. We didn't have any issues with the Thirsties on her belly, but she was a little on the long side (20 inches). They're all in excellent condition. Just let me know.
