How soon to cloth diaper after csection?

Question

I’m a FTM and was planning to begin cloth diapering after the meconium stage had passed. But because baby is breech and I’ll now be having a csection, I’m wondering if I should push the timeline out a bit to give myself a bit of room with recovery. If so, how many disposable diapers should I plan for? Anyone been in a similar situation and can offer advice?

Answer

I started at 5 months with my daughter because I didn’t know about cloth but this time I’ll be doing it when my son is 3 months to get out of the constant poop in every single diaper stage, but that’s just my preference
