Thanks for the responses!  I guess I'll use the prefolds from day 1 this time!  I might aim to keep the pockets and fitteds until the mec is gone.

Has anyone read this?  I'm looking for something to help prepare my 2yo DD for our upcoming homebirth.  I have a hold on "welcome with love" at the local library; haven't found a copy to purchase yet.  I'm also wondering...
