OK !! I have just read the entire thread and Nelle, in particular, you are AMAZING wealth of knowledge for so many mums and mums to be!! You really deserve a Belly Belly medal !

My situation is a newborn coming in Jan. I am inspired to use something other than disposables and from what I have read is it correc that:

1st question: Prefolds are best for newborns? I have some cotton and terry flats from #1 bub but no really interested in the folding......can I cut these up to use as liners ????

2nd question: what brands are AIOs and what brands are Pocket nappies??

3rd: I am still very confused about the difference between AIOs and pocket..........do either need a cover???? or do only prefolds and flats need a cover? Sorry !!

4th: it seems that others have said Bumgenious is good for newborns..pocket or AIO?

Thanks to anyone who can answer my questions!!!
