Do I need infant cloth diaper covers with a cut-out for the umbilical cord?
We are in the process of purchasing our first round of cloth diapers for our soon to be born son. We are planning to go with prefolds and covers and I have noticed that some of the companies sell covers with a cut out for the umbilical cord.
Are these needed or just helpful?
Can you just fold down normal infant covers untill the cord falls off?
If they are needed can they be used even after the cord falls off?
Thanks.

No, I can not see why these are necessary. You can affix a diaper in a way that does not cover the infant's belly button.
I have used cloth diapers with two children, and commend you for doing so. However, it is worth it to consider using disposables for the first few weeks. Especially the first days when the tarry black meconium is coming out, but also in the first few weeks when the baby poops every time he/she eats and the parents are just getting oriented, this can be helpful.
