How many?

Question

How many do I need for a newborn, if I wash them every other day. I just ordered 24 and I have a few packs of disposables, that I recieved at my baby shower, to hold us until I have the money to order more. I'm just trying to get an estimate of how many more I really need. We're trying to live more of a minimalist lifestyle so I don't want to buy any more than actually necessary.

Answer

I don't know if my son is just weird or something, but I operated just fine off of 20 diapers in the newborn stage and now I only have 14. I've always washed every other day. Everybody always says about 24, but I've never had to make that many diaper changes in 2 days

Answer

24 one size diapers is just enough for full time, every other to 3rd day washing. Make sure you have at least 2x as many inserts/prefolds (this part you can do as needed). Remember different materials have different absorbency speeds and amounts.

Answer

24 should be good. That’s how many we had, plus an additional 12 flats that I rarely used. If you’re able to do the laundry regularly, two dozen should be fine!

Answer

Oh my. Didn't know babies use this much diapers a day

Answer

My girl hated being wet, so we went through something like 18 in a day.  It all depends, but if you have some disposables to get you through a few changes you should be fine.

Answer

Newborns can go through anywhere from 10 to 15 diapers a day depending on how much they poop, so with washing every second day and having some disposables on hand I'd say you're fine.
