Hhhmmmm- i would go the bamboo fleece for the prefolds. I think keep them fleece all over with two layers on either side of a three layered centre panel. Regarding the thickness I would go for a medium which I think is about 370gsm. I got some 280gsm I think which is really too thin. I have ordered a medium and heavy (430) bamboo fleece but waiting on their arrival.
I don't know the bamboo terry so not sure about the flats. I can measure one of my cotton terry flats in the morning if you want the size?
PM if you want to know where I ordered my heavy and medium fleece from- it was way cheaper than anything else I could find but I haven't received it yet either!
I have seen some of the bumboo bamboo flats and they look a little thicker than the sample of bamboo double terry I got from tiny toosh. Other than that it is the same and would make good flats. I was considering doing the same thing.
50 by 50 is a good size for small to medium size children. My cotton flats are all about 60 by 60 and I am still using them on my 17kg toddler.
With your prefolds I would use terry on the outside... you can't use snappies properly on fleece.
yes...terry on the outter for the snappies works best..and its nice and absorbent
ONly problem with haveing 2 layers of bamboo fleece it the thickness factor.....its one thing to make boosters and trifolds out of 2 layers of bamboo fleece but its another to make a prefold out of it and in all honesty a bit of a waste cause babies dont really wear them for long enough to get the full absorbency
