What else do I need?

[ihugtrees]

We plan on using disposable diapers for the first 2-3 weeks until the cord stump is all healed and we have settled into being new parents. I've bought a few lots off the internet used and this is what we have compiled so far:

Newborn stash:
8 Small Prefolds
8 Medium Prefolds
8 S Covers (1 XS Thirsties, 1 BSWW, 2 WAHM, 4 Prorap)
3 AIO's (Kushie's--just to try them out and see how we like them!)

Infant stash:
12 Large Prefolds
17 fitteds (4 ?, 13 Dappies)
15 Covers (2 Dappies, 8 BSWW, 3 Mother's Ease, 2 WAHM)
19 AIO Medium (Kushie's)
4 Pockets (Fuzzi Bunz)

What else do I need to get? My newborn stash seems slim when I look at it, but when you consider the sposies for the first few weeks, I doubt she'll take much longer to hit 10 lbs, right? If I need to stock up on more, what would you ladies recommend?

ETA: How many snappi's should I buy?

You may want to get some more small prefolds (are they the infant size?) unless you plan to wash more often. You may also want to look into some newborn covers-Thirstis XS have a more generous cut and we're still using them at 3 months. DD was 8lbs. 3 oz at birth and is 12 lbs. now, and small covers would have been too big for her even at 2-3 weeks. If you're expecting a larger newborn, you might be fine. It really depends on your LO. Since you're not going to CD right away, you can see how they diapers will fit and get some more if it seems you need to.

I agree that you might be a little short on your smallers sizes, but like PP said, you can always wait and see once you have the little squirt at home.

I have 3 snappis and that seems like a good number for us. Usually there's one in the diaper bag, one in use and one lost at any given moment...

If you don't have wipes and a wetbag, those are a must.

Also, the dappi fitteds aren't super absorbant, so you may find you want some doublers for them (but you also may be able to use your nb pf's.)... just a thought.
