newborn sizing

Hi ladies. This probably gets asked a lot, so I apologize if it is redundant. I am planning on using prefolds for the baby at least during the newborn stage. I have found (what seem like) good deals from this one website. This one comes with 3 dozen osocozy prefolds, infant size, and 4 Thirsties Duo Covers, size 1. Does that sound reasonable for a newborn? And do you know how long they would last? It says from 7-15 pounds and I really have no idea how quickly infants gain weight. Then this package comes with 4 dozen osocozy infant prefolds and 6 small bummis wraps. Do you think one is better than the other? 

Also, are prefolds okay for nighttime or should I add another kind to my stash for nights? I am also unsure of what kind of diapers I'd use when the baby outgrows these prefolds. Does sticking with prefolds make the most sense or could I switch to a more convenient one-size option when the baby is older?

 Thanks so much for reading!

    We used the osocozy infant prefolds and loved them. The thirsty duo covers were a little big at first on our 7lb 11oz newborn but worked when she was about 9lbs well. We were going to use prefolds after the newborn stage too but they are just so bulky tha

    I like osocozy too, but we didn't start using them until about 6 weeks.  Option number one seems OK.  Option number two I wouldn't do just because 4 dozen is a lot of prefolds for one stage.  We went through about 12-15 a day but washed

    Thank you for your help ladies. One more question...should I make the investment in newborn prefolds? Or can I make the infant ones work on a newborn?
