Hey, we used a diaper service that used prefolds and that worked splendidly for us. however, we've decided to buy and wash our own now.
So, my recomendation: do newborn prefolds (cheap- and you don't get spoiled with AIOs and Pockets)- we used Bummis covers-worked good
. Now we've ordere toddler sized prefolds (for our 5 mos. old- they do fit, you just have to fold them like you did for newborns again). But now that i'm going back to school in the fall and DS will be in daycare- i'm looking into pockets. So had i bought infant prefolds i could then stuff the pockets with them (meaning that if you don't dig the prefolds, you could always switch to pocket later, and still be able to use the prefolds without having to buy inserts for the pockets). We still plan on using our toddler-sized prefolds at home and at night, and since the infant prefolds are not ours to keep, i may trim down a doze (cause i think we may have ordered too many- 4 doz.) to use as inserts in the pockets when we get them.
