Hey ladies!
I love checking out this board and I am addicted to all things CD so I am fascinated by the knowledge you all seem to possess.
I am due in May and I am pretty set on going the prefold and PUL cover route.
I have a front loader with softened water so I am thinking the prefold route might eliminate some of the issues people seem to have with washing pockets and inserts.
I am pretty set on Green Mountain Diapers and just wondering how many you all would suggest of each size?
Also did you use every size? Some of them seem so close together...
Anyone find that a newborn size didn't fit and should have started with small?
I am also planning on using GMD hemp doublers unless you all can suggest something better?
And one last thing, any favorite covers out there? My research has me strongly considering rumparoos and thirsties, any thoughts on that?
Sorry, that was a lot to throw out all at once, FTM here and I am a total noob to all this! If you have any thoughts on a prefold stash, I would love to hear them.
I can't wait to start actually CDing so I can contribute to this board!

I will definitely look into flats. My mother and mother-in-law will be my primary childcare options when I am at work and both are familiar with and comfortable with prefolds, so that seemed like a natural way to go...
Thanks ladies!

I second the workhorse rec, even if you only get a few. I love them.
My daughter is still in nb GMD prefolds at 9 weeks (she's just under 10 lbs now) but I only trifold them- they probably wouldn't fit if I was using Snappis. I'm just starting to use small workhorses.
I'm using Thirsties duos, Rumparooz, and Blueberry mini-coveralls, and they've all been great. Even with just trifolding, we haven't had a single blowout with any of them.
This is what we used to help us narrow down our options. We will be doing primarily flip covers.
