Please Help With My Stash!!

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Help me out here! Im not sure what else Im needing!

Bummi's Organic Cloth Kit, Infant size (8-15lbs)


Newborn diapers:
1 Little Beetle One[fitted]
Kissaluvs Size 0[fitted, x5]
Batik Bum[newborn fitted, x2]
Tobie's Trousers[newborn pocket, x2]
Rumparooz Lil Joeys[AIO, x4]

Newborn Covers:
1 Prorap[small]
Thirsties Duo Wrap[x2]
1 wool cover[green]
1 fleece cover[black]
leopard and zebra NB batik Bum


Small Diapers:
Tobie's Trousers pocket diapers[x4]
Cuddlebug Cloth Minkee fitted[x2]
1 Thirsties Pocket Diaper
1 Happy Heinys Pocket
1 WAHM fitted
1 Batik Bum Fitted
1 contour diaper


Medium Diapers:
11 Fuzzi Bunz pocket diapers (with no inserts, seconds)
3 Batik Bum Fitted diapers

Medium Covers:
1 Wool Cover


One Size Diapers:
7 BumGenius AIOs
4 Blueberry Minkee AIOs
2 Swaddlebees AIOs
1 CuteyBaby AIO
2 Mommy's Touch One Size AIOs



I also have:
1 Antibacterial Pail Liner (will likely get another, so I can alternate while the other is washing)

2 wetbags that zipper. One larger, one smaller. (can a wetbag be used in a garbage can as a pail liner?)

1 package of snappis (though you can also just tri-fold a prefold to lay into a cover...right?)

As far as inserts/doublers go...all of my BumGenius and Blueberry diapers came with the microfiber inserts, and a couple of the other various pockets came with inserts as well. My FuzziBunz do NOT have inserts, as they were bought as seconds. So far I've purchased 5 BabyKicks medium hemp soakers, 4 additional microterry soakers, and 1 hemp soaker/doubler that looks like its for a size small.

Im sure I need to (should) buy some more inserts...but while I feel like Im beginning to understand more about cloth diapers, the concept of doublers/inserts is Greek to me. Despite looking at websites and reviews I really dont know what to buy! Should I get more hemp? Bamboo? Another fabric? What sizes/brands do I need? Should I buy some prefolds to use as inserts? If so, bleached or unbleached? Can I use my prefolds that came with my Bummis kit as inserts?

Some days I look at my stash and feel like I have a lot, and then other days I worry that I dont have enough for a new baby (though I feel pretty set for once the baby is a few months old and fitting into the one size diapers) and that I'll be stressed trying to supplement my stash AND care for a new babe.


HELP!!

Nobody has feedback?

i think you look good for the NB stage. (at least 24 diapers is a good start)
i would not worry about the bigger diapers, because you may change your mind or find you like one kind of diaper, and then decide to just go with that. Try to focus on NB first, and have a few smalls for when she grows. Then go from there. You will most likely change your mind about your stash. Dont worry about not having a complete stash from NB to PL yet! You look like youve got quite a good selection! Good job!

Thanks for the reply, RunningMama.

I hopefully will find a way to master the prefold-fold, because that will greatly increase what I have available for a newborn.

Any recommendations on newborn diapers that I should add to the mix? Or is this an okay variety for the beginning?
