Using a prefolds or flats inside a waterproof cover is probably the most popular way to diaper a newborn, and the folding doesn't have to be complicated. Prefolds and flats are very economical, ranging from $1 to $3 apiece; a small stash of 6 to 8 covers won't cost you an arm and a leg, either (my favorite newborn cover is only $10).
