Here’s what I have to start out. Please let me know what else you think I need to be prepared. We will start using cloth diapers as soon as we come home from the hospital.
8 size 0 / xs fitted diapers (kissas and thirsties)
2 xs (or newborn) covers
2 bum genius AIO x-small/newborn diapers
Then,
only 2 small fitted diapers
5 small diaper covers
8 small AIO diapers (several diff brands- bum genius, happy heinys, etc)
So, I have lots of some, little of others and need to fill in and be prepared. What do you think I need still? These are things I got for my baby shower and I am ready to start buying for myself since the baby is due in Oct. He is expected to be around 7 pounds so, I am afraid to get too many newborn diapers, you know?
Thanks for any and all help!
I am very happy with the types of diapers I have. I am just wondering how many more of each I will still need at this point. I read about the econobums, but I am not using one-size, at least not until the baby is bigger because many friends have warned me about their bulkiness and not fitting smaller/newborn babies. I’d rather not be so economical and have diapers that fit well- which is why my bun genius are the perfect fit kind. ;) I am not using prefolds either.

Ok, I asked this last night but got all kinds of advice, but no answer to my question! I am not using prefolds. I will use fitteds and covers as a newborn because we are not using disposables at all, unlike what ppl recommend. My questions are:
1. How many newborn sized fitted diapers should we have to start out?
2. How many newborn sized covers?
3.When my son is a little bigger we will experiment with AIOs like Bum Genius. I have 6 of those. So, How many of those will I need in all?
4. We were also given 2 fitted small diapers and 5 small diaper covers- How many more fitted diapers will I need?
Any advice on numbers of these I will need. I am not using one-size diapers. I am only using sized diapers that fit frames better because I had a had experience with my very thin-legged 1st son. I just need to know how many of each to plan on buying.
Thanks!
I am asking how many i need to get/buy. I already have the newborn, he should be about 6-7 pounds when born because I am having a c-section. How many?!
correction- I already have some newborn diapers… because my son will be about 6-7 pounds. He may grow out of them quickly but I am not concerned with that. That’s what ebay is for. :) I just want to be prepared.

Do you think the sprinkled baking soda at the bottom of the Wahmies PUL diaper pail bag will destroy the cloth diapers (Bum Genius, prefolds, Fuzzi Bunz, Kissaluvs, or any others)?
