What size do I buy?

[somedayamommy]

I am due July 9th, and we are going to do cloth diapers. We are using a service, but I will have my own covers. My question is how many do I need to buy, and what sizes? Do I do newborns? How many? Smalls how many? HELP!
Where do I start?
TIA!

I loved my ProRaps covers over prefolds. I had 4 newborn covers and they fit until about 4 months. Dd was 8lbs at birth. 8 covers would have been better tho---breastmilk poop is so runny, it often gets on the covers.

Now at 10.5 months, my dd is still wearing small covers. I have 6 and that's a good number since her poop's no longer so runny. :)

HTH.
