Prefolds and covers - sizing

Harry has grown out of most of the disposables we have (samples and ones we got given) so over the last couple of days we've started trying out our stash of cloth nappies. By far the one that fits best and doesn't leak is the Bummis whisper wrap (and it's so cute with the little frogs!).

So we're looking at getting a few more, but I noticed that the size he's in (small) is 4-7kg. Now my little man has been putting on at least 400g in the last couple of weeks, and at the last weigh in (3 weeks) he was 5kg.

From your experience, is it worth me getting these? Or do you think he'll grow out of them soon? Should I just stick with the cloth nappies we've got and disposables til he reaches size medium? (7-14kgs).

Money is a big factor so we don't really wanna be buying something that only lasts for a really short while.

Also, how many prefolds and covers do you think I need? I wash once a day, usually in the evening and hang out overnight.

TIA

Thanks GandT... we have some other covers that don't fit him around the leg properly, so I guess I'm little apprehensive at buying other sorts cos they might not fit either. I will check them out though - and good point about resale...

I agree - if you think you might have another baby sometime in the future then buy some more of the wraps you know fit well. If you don't use them again you can resell them. Otherwise you might ending up spending money on wraps that don't fit as well and you'll regret not going with your first choice.

That's just my opinion anyway
