Stash—How is it? 😬

Question

I’ve got:
•6 newborn and 7 one-size pocket diapers (which I’ll also use as covers with flats)
•22 flats
•12 microfiber inserts
•7 bamboo inserts
•24 cloth wipes
•3 snappis 
•3 wet bags
I’m thinking to do laundry every day, but would love to do every other day if I could make it work. 😬 We will also be doing some elimination communication along with this, so that will hopefully cut down on at least a couple diapers every day. 
What do you think? 😱

Answer

I would personally want more covers especially as they get older. You never know when you will get some diarrhea or a heavy pee-er. Pockets as covers are a nice idea but if pee leaks through the flat/prefold you can’t just wipe it out and reuse it, you have to get a clean one. Microfiber cannot go next to skin which means you will be limited there as well. I would invest in some actual covers. Plus, I know some people put PUL in the dryer on low but it does cut down on their lifespan so if you plan on line drying you might end up having to wash smaller loads twice a day just to maybe have some dry pockets. There are several groups on Facebook where you can pick up second hand covers and diapers pretty cheap. I actually bought most of my stash as a lot from a mom who got them as a gift, tried two, decided it wasn’t for them and sold them brand new for less than half the price.

Answer

Using pockets as covers isn't the greatest idea, honestly.  Just get a few actual covers, you can find decent cheapies on Ebay, for example.   They will work much better for you.
