I realized I have a TON! I went digging though my cover basket, and there is so many of them! Theres a bunch my baby doesnt even fit in yet, and am still hanging onto.

I think I need to downsize. How many do you think one really needs?
I have a 2 yo and a 3 1/2 month old in cloth.

well I think I only need 1 more.

I have 1 front snap wool cover and 1 side snap wool cover, and since we are only using wool and NO PUL I think I need 1 more wool cover that is SUPER durable and would be my workhorse wool for DS going outside and playing in. Which I will probably get a sugarpeas because I hear they can take it.

So 3 covers for me and I am set.

Then I have 3 soakers as well, which I only use at night, and the only reason I have 3 is because I got all 3 for 24ppd and they are different sizes so we are set on soakers until he is probably 30lbs.

I believe I have 6 wool covers and 2 soakers. Usually that's more than enough for us.

I always feel like I need another. I proudly told dh today that I refrained from bidding on a cute SP applique wool cover!

I'm really loving my bum sweaters right now and would love to get a pair of soaker shorts (actually have the ribbing for a pair on my needles right now!). My belief - you can't really have too many! :LOL

Well, I have 7 soakers and 5 wool wraps in active use for my 10 month old (not counting her WIOs) and I sometimes feel like we don't have enough! She is in wool about 80-90% of the time, so I'd really like a couple more wraps and a couple more soakers - but I'm greedy!
I had two in cloth until very recently, and my 2 1/2 year old had in active use 1 soaker and 4 wool wraps - but we only had him in wool overnight and for naps, so it was enough.

I have 7 wool covers/soakers for my almost two year old and 4 wool covers/soakers for my almost 4 month old. I am happy with my number for ds#1, but I really want to add a Kiwi Pie to his collection. I need a good wool cover for night for him. I really need more covers for ds#2. 4 is just not cutting it.

Well we're in wool full time (except for the two FCB AIO's we have for the diaper bag). We have 6 soakers & 2 covers & getting MM soaker shorts. I feel like this amount is perfect for us

Especially today when we had two blow outs in wool

I would like a pair of BBB longies....oh & my son is 11 months old!

I have 3: BBH (wio), SP (w/ snap ins) and a bumpy. I love all 3. I also use PUL and fleece. And my mom is going to make C a soaker as soon as I find the right pattern (want cargo soaker shorts). I've gotten virtually everything at great used prices. Also, I want the variety so that people who see us often can see all the variety. I usually have at least 2 types of covers in the diaper bag, if not 3, so I can "show off."

The irony for me, I guess, is that C is coverless at home 50% of the time.

right that is us. DS is coverless 75% or more of the day, most of the time he is only in a soaker at night and in a cover for 30 minutes to get lunch(we dont have a kitchen right now, just a very large hole in the back of the house, LOL, so we eat out at the local "home cooking" resturaunt a LOT)

I guess if they are full time in the covers you would want to be able to have 3 or maybe more dpending on how they wet/poo

My 2 yo is coverless mostly at home. She only wears a soaker at night, and a pul cover if we go somewhere. So now that I type this it seems reall, really silly I have all these soaker and covers for her.

The baby wears covers all the time. Today he pooped on my Luxe Baby wool as soon as I put it on him after washing it from being pooped on yesterday! LOL I really love that cover, and just ordered another one.

Okay, I am counting-
For my 2yo- I have 4 wool covers, 4 soakers, and 2 pairs of wool pants.

For the baby- I have 6 soakers he can wear now, 9 wool covers, plus a few covers and 4 pairs of soaker pants to grow into for the fall/winter.

OY!

:
And there might be a cover or two in the bedroom I missed.

What do I do?
How do I choose what to get rid of? I am starting to get worried my husband might see the overflowing wool basket and start to wonder about it....
