Please Rec Prefolds!

A girlfriend of mine who tried Cding and didn't work out gave me a dozen old cotton prefolds to test out to see if I will like covers + prefolds. Which I do! Though now I really do need more than a dozen for a month old10lb baby.

Any recommendations really helps.

Oh yeah I have another friend that has a few of the GMD red edge prefolds. Can I use them on a 10lb baby when the sizing on the site says to start at 15lbs?

    I don't have any of the red edge yet, but my LO is creeping up on 14 lbs, but is no where near outgrowing the yellow edge

    GMD reds will be pretty big on a 10-lb baby, but I definitely used them before 15 lbs. DD outgrew her infant (non-GMD 7-15 lb prefolds) at 12 or 13 lbs and all I had to use in their place were the reds. They were long, so I folded them down in the back before snappi-ing. I used them from about 9 weeks and still occasionally tri-fold them at 21 months.

    Depends on the shape of your baby. It probably wouldn't hurt to have the red edge handy, you'll get to that size eventually.

    I think we moved from yellow to red edge around 12 lbs., and I have a guy with a long body and skinny legs. We folded the back down and inch or two and then Snappi'd.

    Definitely depends on the baby!  We used newborn size until 9 weeks (probably about 10-11lbs), and then small size (yellow) until 9.5 months (just shy of 20lbs).  She's tall and lean.

    You can always use a bigger size prefold, but just realize you may have trouble fitting all that fluff under a good-fitting diaper cover!  Might just take some adjustment.

    Our favorite prefolds are Dandelion Diapers Bamboo ones. They are super soft, reasonably priced, very trim for a PF, and super absorbent.  (Am I allowed to say where I buy them?) GMD PF are a distant second favorite.
