  I'm no expert, but I don't think you really need that many covers. Is it possible to return them and get more prefolds?

  Too many covers.  You need 5-6 only.

  The OS dipes most likely will not fit your newborn for a while, so you probably need more newborn PFs.  I have used GMDs (orange) and Cotton Babies Indian PFs, and both brands are great, very absorbent.  Since a newborn will use 10-12 PFs a day or more, we had 2 dozen, so we could wash every other day.  We supplemented that with 6 XS Sposoeasy AIOs for the diaper bag and for nighttime changes in the dark.

  Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "diaper bag size" for the wetbag, but you will need either a size large wetbag or pail liner or something large enough to toss your dirty PFs into. 

  And, you probably should get some Snappis.  We got by with two.  I highly recommend using Snappis for the PFs.  At least for us, our baby was squirmy, so without the Snappi, the PF would shift around inside the cover and we got poopoo messes in our covers.  The Snappi helped keep the PF in place.  We used the angel fold with our baby girl.  

  We use Country Save, and we buy it at Sprouts.  Many people just use Tide.  Here is a chart of CD safe detergents:

  Thanks! the wet bag is small enought to ft in a diaper bag, I forgot a pail liner. I have been meaning to get snappis but I haven't caught them on sale, I guess its time to suck it u and start paying full price.

  You should wait for Black Friday to fill in the rest of what you might need... there will be tons of sales at lots of online CD stores! You have plenty of time. HTH!

  I only have one hemp doubler, I got it super cheap somewhere, and I LOVE it. I'd say scoop up more if you can find it cheap.
