Help me analyze my newborn stash!

[amaayeh]

I cloth diapered my previous daughter, but didn't start until she was a few months old so I'm new at the newborn part.  I'm no longer afraid of wool and the like, but unless I can find some used, I'm not wanting to put the money into wool until baby is a bit bigger.  So, here is my current NB stash:

2 Swaddlebees NB fitteds

1 Swaddlebees AIO

2 Imse Vimse NB covers

1 Bummis NB cover

2 Jamtots small covers

2 dozen NB Indian prefolds

I'm thinking of purchasing:

2 GMD Infant fitteds

2 Cloth-eez NB fitteds

2 Cloth-eez small fitteds

1 dozen wipes

Thoughts?  Is this too much?  Do I need more of something or less of something?  Should I get some small prefolds since I have heard that NB often aren't big enough to snap on bigger babies (mine are usually 8.7ish lbs)? Thanks for any insight!!

You probably have enough diapers, though if you have a bigger baby you will need to upsize quite quickly.  I would recommend adding a few more covers though - I like to have at least 8 for a newborn baby, as they have a tendency to 'blow out' from the legs or up the back.

You will also need more wipes, though if you are having a shower you will probably get a lot of baby washclothes, which make good wipes. 

Good luck!

No shower here, so I'll order some wipes and a few covers.  Should I get size small, though?

IT's so hard to say... My first was 9lbs and outgrew nb stuff in a week.  #2 is 2lbs smaller and still wearing nb stuff at 2 weeks, though it's getting small fast.

I'd get the smalls, personally.

You will use all your fitteds before your prefolds, so 6 covers is a good number. Get small covers now. My son outgrew his NB covers at least a week before he was born. If you know you will use infant prefolds next, I would get at least a dozen now too (or 2 dozen if you are shipping them).

You need at least 2 dozen more wipes.
