So that's helpful to have pointed out. It looks like maybe the way to go for a newborn is PF and covers, and then assess what direction I want to go in for a larger baby? I have a store near me that does CD workshops and lets you try out 8 diff diapes for 2 weeks for $25, and return what you don't like. Perhaps I do that when he or she is 3 months or something...not a newborn - and then start my real aquisitions then?
That sounds like a great deal. I'd love to have had something like that.

I think starting off with PFs and the do the try out package is a good plan. I'm a PF fan. Other than 3 BG OSs I have to leave with DD in the church nursery, we use all pfs. I have 2 dozen pfs (1 each red and brown edge from GMD) and 5 covers. I really like the thirsties covers and recommend both the the original and the new duo wraps.
