Hey guys have a question (sure many will follow)...
I think I am going to try to trifold (I think this is what "trifolding" is) my PFs and have it where they do not have the "wings" and lay it in the cover that way. By doing this my center padded part will actually be going side to side (opposite direction of what I originally thought)...
I have spent several hours cutting some fleece, and from the diaper board at PP I got the idea to cut them in a shape that gives the fleece the wings (kind of like an hour glass shape). This seemed like a good option to try since it would ,I assume ,cut down on bulk on the sides and be comfy all the way around.
Well I "practiced" for the first time tonight and my PF sticks out over the little cover on the top and bottom-just a bit but does stick out (small not even newborn size)...what do I do with that little bit that sticks out??? Will that cause that "wicking" that you all mention, wouldn't urine just run up that material and out fo the cover???
Also I was prepared to order some Joey Bunz from Michelle at punkinbutt (I could not have been more impressed with her-she spent a lot of time with me answering questions), I wanted the ones with fleece topping. She actually highly endorsed the product but said that she does not think I need them for a newborn, want to make certain that you all agree...
I right now will be keep my stash very very basic so will not be trying out a bunch of things (wish I could) but will have to make due with what I have...
I'll have
36 PFs
24 fleece self cut liners with wings
some rice paper liners
6 Gerber small covers (might have bought premature but I got them)
10 newborn pro-wrap covers (2nd quality)
10 small pro-wrap covers (2nd quality)
10 medium pro-wrap covers (2nd quality)
So not a luxury stash at all...but really want to make it work on these atleast for the first several months.
