I have the same issues with cotton prefolds because cotton doesn't wick moisture away. You could try prefolds made of a different material such as hemp or bamboo. this brand has a cotton/bamboo blend I'm going to try soon. As for covers I recommend flips or rumparooz. You coul try fitteds but they're kind of pricey. I have some one size bamboo ones and they're about $15 each. It's good because they're really nice because the sized ones are about $10 each but I don't hAve to buy new ones with a one size.
Were considering going the wool route now because as of now for nighttime we use a a pocket stuffed with a microfiber and a hemp insert and that's fine for now but I'm wondering if it will continue to be. I thought wool was going to be a pain to wash but I've watched enough YouTube videos that it looks really easy. Probably the same amount of time it takes me doing regular diaper laundry and you don't have to wash them as much.
As far as medical benefits, when open enrollment rolls around before each birth, make sure you select a plan that covers a birth+stay in the maternity ward as one visit, rather than as a series of nightly stays. We paid $700 copays for each mutli-day stay vs. copays of $700/night. Also, post-birth wellness checks should have no copay.
As for diapers, we spent about $150 total on diapers by using cloth diapers. (Note: I am hesitant to recommend this if both parents work, there is a LOT of laundry in your future if you go this way.)
We ended up using disposable for our second kid and - wow - about $30/month for up to 3 years. My wife, who stays at home with the kiddos - decided that the covers had stretched too far and she wasn't up for round two. We had planned for multiple kids and reusable diapers throughout; then reality hit. YMMV.
Also, hit up consignmnet sales for kids' clothes. It's insane how fast they'll go through them. Good deals on clothes for, say a 6-month old who isn't going to get their clothes dirty anyway.
It's pretty easy to set up a 529 college savings plan; it's somewhat more difficult to get the grandparents on board to donate to it.
