Ideal newborn stash (#) - Cloth Diapers & Parenting Community

OK so not meaning brands... just wanting to know what would be your ideal newborn stash....
how many covers, fitteds, prefolds, aio's etc would you want to have for a healthy stash for a newborn.
Hope what I am asking makes sense

I cant remember how many dipes and what my stash consisted of for DC5

My first stash included 12 diapers and three covers. It was totally adequate while I was getting used to how they worked, laundering, etc. Once I "got on my feet" with CDing he was outgrowing the diapers and I felt confident to try new things.

Good luck! Best wishes on your new baby!

Right now, I have 32 Newborn fitteds, 9 covers (small and newborn), 12 IPF, 2-3 small pockets (maybe more, planning on making a few) and 1-2 AIO's. I think it sounds pretty ideal, letting me skip a day of laundry (I hope!)

I have 14 fitteds, 2 AIOs and 8 covers (3 wool, 5 thirsties) and I can go all day and a night...I still use some sposies, so I guess about 10 more fitteds?

But I like to wash every or every other day

I need to go through what I have in hand and what I am waiting on to come in the mail.... I went a little spend crazy lately so I have no idea what I am even waiting on

I've never CD'd a newborn, but I dream about it all the time

I'd get:
18 preemie prefolds
18 GMD newborn prefolds
18 NB fitteds
18 NB AIO's
9 covers (wool & pul)

I'd like 2 dozen prefolds, 6 wool wraps, and 4 AIOs for the diaper bag.

Mommy2Cadence · 06-07-2007, 07:36 PM

This is what I plan on having:
12 prefolds (thirsties nb)
18 fitteds
6-8 covers
8 aios

once I get all figured out what I have in hand, and what I have coming I will post a list to see what I am missing

In a perfect world?

Prefolds: 36
Fitteds: 12
PUL covers: 2
Wool wraps: 3
Wool longies/shorties: 4
Pockets: 6

My newborn could go through 24 dipes in a day... sometimes more. So I believe the more you have, the better off you are with a teeny one. I used pockets at night for the stay-dry factor, but in my "perfect world" list you could substitute 6 stay dry liners for pockets.
