Diaper Swappers

At least four dozen flannel/terry wipes to use as diaper wipes.

Then we have 60++ single-ply flannel wipes I keep folded in tissue boxes to use as tissues, washcloth, etc.

I had 2 dozen for the longest time, and found that to be enough, then I started using them for wiping DD's face in the morning (gotta get the eye boogers!), and her hands and face when she eats. I just ordered 2 more dozen so I'll have a total of 48, and I'm pretty sure that'll be plenty for us.

I have around 30-36 and there are days when I have plenty and days when it seems like there is never enough. Ideally, I would like 50 because we use them for so many things from diaper changes to me blowing my nose. I just need to remember to get more or make more!

I have around 2 doz, and it's definitely not enough!

Get lots. That's all I have to say

we have 4dz, and i want more

we're using more and more now that ds is eating solids, and getting mobile and exploring the outside, therefore getting dirty, lol

way too many :S lol. a dozen each for nose, face (mealtimes), bathtime, and 4 dozen-ish for bum wipes (which is more than I need, but lets me leave a stack for him at daycare for them to use).
I would say, if you are just using them for bum wipes, get about 2 /diaper x however many diapers you use per wash cycle. Add an extra dozen for any other use you have in mind (noses, face, bath time, etc.)

Thank you everyone! You've been super helpful! I want to use them for noses, and hands too like most of you have said, because I'm trying not to use papertowels around the house...thanks a bunch, I'm going to get to sewing some more tonight, and want to get some flannel this weekend

I have 2 dozen for baby bums and then another 3 or 4 dozen for family cloth, kleenex, paper towel etc. They are great!!!

I have 70

I bought them from a wahm on here and love them for everything-baby bums, faces/hands/noses, wiping down the bathroom counters, bath time, etc. They do everything around my house
