Wool is not exactly waterproof. It's more that it doesn't feel wet to the touch.
The covers look lovely! I've become addicted to knitting those things. Did you know there's an LJ comm called clothdiapering? I've become such a fangirl of cloth diapers! Squeee! I'm hoping to convert my sister.
By the way, there have been studies now that say the plastic typically used in baby bottles actually leaches out some chemicals that are potentially dangerous. It's serious enough that the EU is looking to ban these kinds of bottles. I know you plan to breastfeed, but you may eventually use bottles as well, so look for either glass bottles, or bottles made with biphenol-A-free plastic. (Erm, I'm going from memory on that name.) Born Free is a brand that makes both glass, and the safe plastic.
