Diaper Covers may be made of Fleece, Wool, or PUL (PolyUrethane Laminate: This is made from a polyester fabric that has had a coating laminated to it to make it waterproof. The resulting fabric is durable and flexible.). They are created to be used with fitted diapers, flats & prefolds. They are designed to be waterproof & keep the urine within the diaper, while helping baby stay dry. Covers can be reused many times throughout the day.
We like to have 1 cover for every 2-3 diapers. Usually 4-6 covers in each size is a fair amount - again everyone is different (some moms prefer to have more on hand, others' less) If you reuse 2 covers throughout the day, wiping it between diaper changes and air drying, will help as well. |
