I'll second that pockets are a fabulous nappy - don't feel sad for a second! They are so versatile in terms of how they fit and how absorbent you want them to be, and they dry so quickly! Great great type of nappy.
You can use snap ins as you originally intended - although I imagine with a newborn's poop there will be many times where it's best to just throw the whole thing in the wash.
As bub gets older, you may be able to just use a liner and just throw the poop in the loo and liner in the wash - for example, one of my boys went through a phase of pooping just after a nappy change - so I'd pop in a flushable liner, and 5 minutes later just pull the liner&co out since the nappy was either dry or barely barely wet.
Sounds like you might want to stick with fitteds and covers - you can re-use each cover a few times as long as it doesn't get any poo on it.
Pockets are great though because they're so flexible as far as how you can use them. They dry a lot faster because you can dry the two parts separately, and having two inserts for each shell means that you won't have to wait for the insert to dry before you next use the pockets (shells dry heaps faster than inserts)
Thanks guys! I'm pretty confident I will like the pockets after all now. I might investigate some AI2's as well - lucky I only ordered 6 pockets for now
