Here's what I have to accomidate two children in dipes a two year old and a one year old. They both wear the same size. I am trying to get enough so I don't have to wash daily. Please tell me what to add.

11 Unbleached Indian prefolds
6 kissaluvs ( I am going to have to retire these. DS soaks right through them)
3 Happy heiny's sherpa cotton fitteds
5 Snug to fit unbleached dipes
2 mother-ease dipes
1 hemp pocket night time dipe
4 HH pockets (using prefolds as stuffing)
1 SOS fitted
1 Woolybottoms fitted

7 PUL covers
3 wool soakers
1 acrylic blend soaker

Hmm It looks good- I would "give up" on the kissaluvs.. maybe just add a doubler to them so your kids wont soak right through them

so you have about 33 diapers total including pfs?

Do you like pfs? Maybe get about a dozen more or so and you can wash every few days..depending on how many diapers your kids go through in a day. I know I like to wash every 3 days but have enough to go 4-5 just in case.(with my pfs included) .looks like you have enough covers. Looks good though!

Thank you.

How many dipes are they going through each day?

What style of dipe do you prefer?

What type of cover?

DS is changed every hour pretty much except for at night. DD is changed every two hours and will sometimes use the potty. That's about 24 dipes a day. I am not that fond of the prefolds BUT I do use them. They were an inexpensive way to get DH talked into CDing. My Mom is ALWAYS willing to make the soakers I dearly LOVE as long as I buy the yarn. I prefer fitteds but I haven't had the pleasure of trying an AIO since they are a costly option that I can't see DH going for. I don't feel like I can get through two days safely yet. Does this make sense?

Well I need to add three AIO's to my collection. They are on their way from a few sources. Hopefully we can get through two solid days soon.

Do you like your Mother Ease fitteds?

I wish my mama could make me some soakers

Do you knit? I want to learn SOOOOOO bad!!!

I'd round it out with another dozen prefolds and some snappis or pins, but then I love prefolds and don't mind pinning at all.

Here are a couple of inexpensive fitted options too. I've read good things about both of these.
