Amount of diapers needed for triplets (AIO's, HH & FB) - Cloth Diapers & Parenting Community

How many do you think I would need for triplets?
I'm thinking of about 18 XS Sposoeasy AIO's (would you use that many? they are cheaper than the FB so price isn't an issue), about 18 FB XS and 24 HH OS for when they get big enough as it won't fit them at first. Then, I might replace the 18 AIO's with 12 small AIO's and the 18 FB XS with 12 FB S and then still have the 24 HH OS. I could also just buy more HH OS and not replace the AIO's or the FB's or just one or the other. Not sure...

Looking for opinions, thoughts, suggestions on the amount needed for as they grow.

Also, would you get more FB's or more AIO's (AIO's are actually cheaper) or the same amount?

I think it would depend on how often you planned to wash. I am just diapering 1 4 week old this time and I wash every 3rd day. I have 12 PFs, 10 fitteds, 3 AIOs and 3 OS (2 BGs and 1 FB). So, basically, I have 31 diapers for 1 baby and wash every 3rd day. HTH. Amy

I would wash every day or every other day. Probably every day while they are little and then every other day as they get older and there aren't as many dirty diapers/clothes.

I end up washing daily with my nb and 2 y/o in dipes because the pail gets full. I think 30 dipes per child (a few different kinds) would be more than enough to go a couple of days.
