Well the title says it all LOL. I only used prefolds with DS so I am starting from scratch here. I usually only like side snapping but I didn't start using fitteds or AIOs at all until DS was 10 months so there were mobility issues that aren't really a factor with a newborn KWIM??

So which do you prefer...and why??

I like front snapping because there's less rolling around of the baby being changed. I prefer the snaps to aplix because they're quieter...........nothing like waking a sleeping baby while trying to change her

hmmm, i recall prefering side snapping since it seemed like i always had to move a curled up leg or two out of the way to get a front snapper closed. really though if it was a fitted we liked it.
those tiny diapers are so cute.

I liked aplix, either front or side. I found with my babes, just getting their bums naked was enough to stir them, not just the sound of the aplix. I always got a better fit with it, too. If they were snapping fitteds, then def. front snap.
