We've recently started cloth diapering since having our second baby but we didn't start until she was about 3 months old. We also just found out we are expecting again. Are there diapers you would recommend for newborns, that aren't really expensive? I wouldn't mind using prefolds and covers if that was a cheaper option, I just don't want to spend a bunch of money on diapers that won't be used for a long time. So far both my kids have hit 10lbs by the time they were a month and a half old; if this baby follows the same pattern he/she could be in our normal diapers by then. Thanks!

Re: Good cd's for newborns?
Congrats on your pregnancy!
I recommend Kawaii Pure & Natural pockets. They fit from 6-22 lbs, so they fit a newborn and will last much longer than a traditional newborn diaper. Plus they are much more absorbent than a newborn AIO (DD outgrew the absorbency of her BG XS AIOs by 3 weeks old...and she was still too small to fit OS pockets).
PFs & covers are also a good option. I used just regular diaper service quality PFs as well as OsoCosy size 1s. Both were great. My favorite covers were Proraps Classic newborn size. If I had to do it over again I would also get a couple of Thirsties Duo size 1 covers.
