What size Indian Cotton Prefolds for using as insert?

I am looking to get some prefolds to use as doublers/ extra absorbancy in my BG AIOs and my flips.  What size would you get for this?  I don't understand what is the difference between the infant, regular, toddler, premium, and newborn, nor do I get how they can  all be 4x6x4 or 4x8x4

    I'm certainly no expert because I just starting looking into things myself, but I can tell you that the 4x6x4 is referring to layers, not size.

    The different sizes are for different weight ranges.  Depending on what brand you're getting, newborn is for 6-15lbs, infant is 15-30lbs, regular is 11-22, and toddler is 30+.  Not sure about premium.  the 4x6x4 and 4x8x4 is how thick the layers are.  For example, the 4x6x4 has 4 layers on the two sides and 6 layers in the middle.  If you want something more absorbant, go for the 4x8x4.

    If you're planning to use them on inserts on a newborn, definately get the newborn prefolds.  A trifolded infant or regular is going to be very bulky at first.  Until you need more absorbancy, they should last you a while.
