Indian Prefolds?

Hi, new to this board, due in March.

My last 2 babes were cd'd, we used FB (old style, medium)... and I still have my stash, although I'll need to check the elastics. They are now 6 and 5 and we have another on the way. I have nothing in terms of nb cd.

Looking on CL I found a listing for 32 indian prefolds and 4 prorap covers, used for a year. One of the dipes looks like the pul separated, but otherwise, good condition, $40. I am thinking of snatching them, but I don't know much about indian prefolds.

Anyone have any advice?

    Are they nb size prefolds? I would ask about layers. Most generic Indian cotton prefolds are fine, but some come with fewer layers, especially nb size. Good ones are 4x8x4.

    What size are the prefolds? If they were used for a year on the same baby, I'd guess they are infant sized, which will be really bulky on a NB. It would work, but if you'll probably be happier with true NB prefolds.

    Also you'll want 6-8 covers to wash EOD during the NB stage. So even if the ProWarps are NB sized ( which I'm wondering whether they might be bigger since I don't think NB size would fit over infant prefolds)...you'd still want another 3-5 covers.

    In general Indian cotton is a good choice for prefolds. Should last through 3-4 kids. Brands like Green Mountain Diapers (Cloth-eez), Sweet Pea, Osocozy, and Imagine are sone of the more desirable brands.

    Thanks girls. I asked her, and they are the regular from cottonbabies, so 4x6x4. :( Plus... huge??

    I have big babies (8lbs, 8oz and 8lbs, 14oz), so I am thinking I need infant sized prefolds, right? And probably size 1 or small covers, depending.

    Infant size prefolds are equivalent to a small usually so those would work, although they will be bulky and need to be folded down at first.

    We have Indian cotton prefolds and love them. I don't remember how much they cost but what you are mentioning doesn't sound too bad, that's almost a dollar a prefold. If they are in good condition I don't see why not.
