Newborn cloth diaper

K • Sat, May 22

How many Newborn cloth diaper covers did you use in a day? how many newborn covers do you have all together? I have about 50 flats and prefold and 12 covers. I am not sure if I have enough covers. I wash every 4 days to a week. So I was think about 25 covers. I also have about 30ish one size cover from my older kids but the one sizes tend to fit wierd.

If its 12 newborn covers that should be good for about 2-2.5 days between washes. The covers really only need to be washed when they get soaked or poop gets on them.

I have used covers with burp cloths as 'prefolds'. I have 4 covers and about 35 burp cloths, bought all of them used.

I agree about 2/2.5 days, but you really don’t want to go more than about 2 days between washes, or you’ll end up with smell issues

I have been washing like that for 5 years now and never had any issues
