How Many Cloth Diapers Will I need?

Yes, that is the common question we will ask. I will say depending on your budget and experince with cloth diapers. For me, i did considered on budget first because many moms will think to start with cloth diapers seem to be a bit costly. Yes, i agreed with that, but in long term usage, it is definetely worth a single penny you have spent. You may consider buying a few at a time and then add on to your stash as your baby grows and you will be able to determine which type of cloth diapering system best works for your baby. Also, you may consider whether to invest one size diaper or with sizes. If you plan to have more kids in future, getting one size will save up more since it can pass down to the younger one.

Some of the guidelines you may refer to on how many diapers u will need..
Newborns
We know newborns typically go through many changes in day, what's more if baby is on breast fed. They may go through about 10-12 diaper changes every day. It is recommend to have 20-30 diapers on stash. If you opt for fitted or prefold, you may need 6-8 covers. But take note, you dont need to change the diaper cover with each diaper change, unless it gets soiled or dirt. If you prefer Pocket or ALL in One diapers, almost the same quantity needs for your stash and also supply on inserts. With this, it allow you to go for a quick changing.

Infants (3-9 months)
Infants may go through about 9-10 diapers per day. You may plan on having about 20-25diapers in the appropriate size range on hand. I always prefer to go for a mixture of fitted, pocket and ALL-IN-ONE.

Older Infants (9+ months)
While, older infants may buse about 8-9 diapers per day. 16-18 diapers, think is sufficient enough. Again, i will go for a mixture of different type of diapers.
