Cloth diapers...how many of each size?

Question

Recently I have decided to use cloth diapers 75% of the time (only use disposable when I go out). My question to all of you lovely ladies is how many of each size diaper will I need? Is there anything else I should know?

Answer

I use cloths 100% of the time. My favorite brand is bumgenius free times. They fit from 8-35 lbs so you can get the one size fits all! I find my son (5 months) goes through around 7-10 diapers a day. I have 24 diapers and do laundry every other day or sometimes every two days.

Answer

I'm using cloth diaper delivery service 
Look up in your area if they have something like that
I'm getting 100 diapers a week for 24$
They drop them off and pick them up I don't have to wash them or anything

Answer

Thank you sooooo much for all the info! I really appreciate it! You guys are fantastic!

Answer

I will start by using diaper service, 70 diapers a week. They provide the cloth diapers and Thirsty's covers. I'm planning to use the service to start and depending on how much work it is to maintain I may switch to washing them myself. My mom has already made some all in one, one size diapers and I work from home so I'm hoping I can manage but I want to make my life as easy as possible in the beginning.

Answer

I have many friends who use cloth and they all said that it's easier to wear disposable for first month and then use cloth. That way, you don't have to spend money to get the cloth that you will rarely use.

Answer

The AIOs are great, they can wear them until they are potty trained. However, I found them to be a big too large, even adjusted all the way down, for my newborns. So I got about half a dozen of Kawaii pure&natural line which are made a bit smaller and they worked great. Kawaii is a great brand for affordability and I've never had any issues with quality. My other go-to brand is bumgenius.

Answer

I am getting AIO which have lots of snaps so you don't have to get more than the one size. They grow with your baby. I know they suggest 10-12 diapers a day, so depending on how much you want to do laundry, you would get that amount. (Every 2 days = 24, 3 days = 36).
