HELP! Starting to stock up..

Okay: I want to go the prefold route for the newborn stage...

I would get something like this right: https://www.amazon.com/OsoCozy-Prefolds-Unbleached-Cloth-Diapers/dp/B003AJHDQW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325199635&sr=8-1

and then a cover like this: https://www.amazon.com/Thirsties-Wrap-Snap-Blackbird-Size/dp/B003GSLCOG/ref=sr_1_8?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1325199839&sr=1-8

Or am I way off base here? Anything else needed? How many of each for one baby? Sorry if I sound like a total idiot... I just want to make sure I buy the right stuff the first time around! lol

I'm getting the Imagine Smart Fit prefolds from nickisdiapers.com in the newborn size.  As for the covers, I think the Thirsties ones might be a tad too big for the NB days, so I just got some sized NB covers (went with Bummis Super Brights).  I think for one baby getting 2 dozen prefolds and 4-5 covers would be good, and if you're planning to use something besides a trifold, the covers will last longer before washing.

Please check out the FAQ. It covers a typical nb stash

Definitely check out the FAQ's - they are super helpful and after 5 months of CDing, I still look at them weekly.  We bought mostly PF's and covers for the NB stage too and ended up hating PF's.  Then I had to use sposies until we hurried up and got a full stash of AIO's  If you buy NB dipes used, you can literally resell the ones you don't like for 100% of what you paid.
