Quick answer
For a newborn, the Retro Starter Newborn Prefold Bundle in size 2 is a practical choice that includes multiple prefolds and covers, saving you money compared to buying separately.
Why size matters for newborns
Newborns grow quickly, so choosing the right prefold size is key to getting good use out of your diapers. The bundle includes prefolds in size 1 or size 2, and each size fits a different weight range. Size 1 typically fits from birth to about 10-12 pounds, while size 2 fits from 8-15 pounds or more, depending on the baby's build. The bundle lets you pick your preferred size, so you can tailor it to your baby's expected growth.
What's in the bundle
The Retro Starter Newborn Prefold Bundle comes with two 6-packs of prefolds (your choice of size 1 or size 2) plus covers. This gives you a full stash for newborn diapering without having to piece together individual items. Buying the bundle also saves you money compared to buying the same items separately.
How to choose the right size
- Check your baby's weight: Use your baby's current weight and expected growth to decide between size 1 and size 2. Size 1 fits newborns up to about 10-12 pounds; size 2 fits from 8-15 pounds or more. If your baby is already near 10 pounds at birth, size 2 may give you more use. Weigh your baby or use the latest estimate from your doctor.
- Consider how long you plan to use prefolds: If you plan to use prefolds only for the first few weeks, size 1 may be enough. If you want to continue cloth diapering past the newborn stage, size 2 will last longer. Think about your cloth diapering timeline.
- Look at the fit around legs and waist: Prefolds should fit snugly without leaving red marks. Size 2 may be too bulky for a very small newborn, while size 1 may become too short or narrow as your baby grows. Check the rise and width of the prefold against your baby's body. Test the fit with a cover before committing to a full bundle.
