Questioning my stash-what do you think?

[fairymom]

History: Due April Have CDed before and am so excited to do it agian.

Have been here reading the threads and now am wondering how my stash really looks and/or if I should look into more/different dipes OR if i should just wait and see how it goes after he's here. This is what I have. (sorry I am feeling a little loss in confidence)

24 AIOs onesize from a WAHM
12 pockets onesize alos from WAHM
2 PUL wraps size sm
4 kissaluvs fitteds size NB
4 fuzzibunz pockets size Lg (for when he's older)
6 trifolds sz sm
12 inserts for FB or to use as doublers now

I know I'll need more as he gets older/bigger just so they fit better. But not sure if i have enough for now. Also am planning on making some of my own wraps and fitteds and prefolds this summer- but will need practice.

Please tell me what you think. Do I need more of something? I'd like to wash eod or 3rd day. I am open to using all but pull on pants.Should I try to find more fitteds/prefolds and wraps? So confused!


ETA: I alomst forgot I have also signed up for a CD lending service (they lend you diapers in the sz you need- you do all the washing and when you need a bigger sz you return the sm ones and get bigger- this is a free service and you don't really know what you are getting until you get it) so will have those coming around the time los born or soon after and will use till he's PT. This is a great service!

It looks like you will need more nb sized diapers. OS dipes don't often fit nb's (from what I've read anyway).

I agree with this... Our OS diapers didn't really start fitting DS until he was 1.5 months old.

yep. i'd get more kissaluvs and a dozen GMD orange edge prefolds. and maybe 2 more nb covers.

Totally agree with PP. At a min. you'll want like 24 nb size dipes if you want to wash eod. Like PPs said, the one-size dipes often don't fit. The lending service is awesome - great service! It would be nice to know what you can get! For this new one (due Aug), I plan to use mostly pf's with a few fitteds and aio thrown in for going out or middle of the night when I can't see straight. Your small covers may or may not fit a nb - depends on the brand, but I'm thinking you'd want a min. of 5 covers, 6 is better if you're mostly using pfs and fitteds...

Lots of people love wool covers - you could knit yourself some!!!

How exciting - April is getting close! Good luck with that new LO!
