Thanks girls,

Raven do you think a fleece/wool/minky cover is really necessary for a newborn for over night use? again I tend to think that the wees would be so small and you'd be changing them so often being up for feeds etc that you wouldn't really need that extra protection or the breathability (if that is even a word) kwim. I'm thinking of every 2nd day to wash also, sometime I may even wash every day just to keep on top of it if I don't have any other house work to do but how long do you think you can really go without washing, would every 3 days just be toooo stinky?? we have got 2 plastic containers with do up lids, one will be for dirty and the other wet. Also do you put your prefolds into a dry container or one with water to soak? I am not sure on this, I was thinking the dirty ones could go into water but the wet ones just in the dry container?

Also how long did your NB size covers fit for? and did you still use 6-8 covers when you moved up to the small size covers ohhhh and one more question what brands do you have and like the best? THANKS
