Prefold woes

Hi

I am keen to move 2 week old DD to cloth nappies full time. I've got prefolds and bummis whisper wraps in size small, and she is approx 4.3kgs. The small size is supposed to fit from 3.5kgs.

I've been using the cloth naps a bit, but they seem really big on her(esp the wraps), and the valcro bit sometimes folds up and rubs on her tummy leaving a red mark.

Do you think I should just wait until she gets a bit bigger or are there any other suggestions on how to make them fit better?

She hasn't been leaking in the prefolds much (no worse than from the disposables).

The covers are a slightly bigger sizing than the actual prefold. I have smalls on Bella (and she must be at least 6 kg now) and the velcro still meet together in the middle, so they seem to be a roomy fit. You can get bummis wraps in newborn I think, otherwise, as Nikki said, you can get covers from somewhere else...

Thanks guys

I've continued with using the prefolds, and its getting a heaps better. I think the rubbing thing might have been caused by me not putting the nap on very well.

Now I just need to convince DP to use them - he thinks they are too big and is quite attached to the damn sposies...
