My DH and I are planning on using cloth diapers on our first, due in the end of November. I've been doing loads of lurking and researching and have bought a newborn sampler from Natural Babies as well as six size 0 Kissaluvs and six Mother-Ease OS diapers from Ebay. I've also got about 12 prefolds from Babies R Us and will soon be getting two WHAM AIOs. I've got the PooPockets pattern and am going to start making some other diapers and covers.
Here's the dilemma. My MIL decided she wanted to buy us disposables until we had enough diapers of a kind we like to CD exclusively. I just counted all the newborn diapers she has bought for us already and the total is 586. Now, I don't know a heck of a lot about diapering at this point, but that seems like a ridiculous number of diapers. If the baby goes through 10 a day, that's 58 and a half days worth. It may take us a couple weeks to order more of the cloth diapers that we like and the PooPockets might not fit at first, but do we really need this many? Should I try to return some?
Thanks for any suggestions.
