Also from what I have read, fitteds and pre-folds seem to be the best newborn option and both require a cover. My husband does not want to even consider pre-folds and I have to admit I am a bit intimidated by them as well. Some fitteds after you factor in the cost of the covers as well can get a bit expensive for a 2 to 3 month usage. I may be using disposables until my little guy gets big enough for the OS diapers that I have.
On an additional note. We have decided to try Smartipants. Kelly's Closet has a special on a package of three.
