I do laundry every two days usually and that leaves us with about 8-10 backups while they are washing. I change his diaper a lot though, so an average person may not need that many. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-1#post-497566 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 10:17:07 +0000 HappyBaker 497566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 28 pockets, and do laundry 3 times a week (Tues, Thurs, Sun). </p> <p>We do cloth at daycare so our stash is half velcro / half snaps, we try to always send velcro to daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-1#post-497393 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 09:31:45 +0000 T.H.O.U. 497393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would shoot for enough to get through 2.5-3 days. I do laundry every two days but sometimes it gets delayed or I don't fold or whatever and its nice to have a few extra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-1#post-496901 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 00:27:25 +0000 owlmom 496901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started with 16, which IMO isn't enough, especially for a newborn. For the first several months, we needed 26, minimum. Now that LO is 15 months, we have 20 in rotation, which is a very comfortable number for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-1#post-496808 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 23:46:06 +0000 stargal 496808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is 6 months and have about 2o. Wash every 3 to 4 days and have enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-1#post-496778 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 23:35:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 496778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 26 and washed every 2-3 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-1#post-496773 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 23:34:04 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 496773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we have about 15 AIO and then a couple dozen prefolds. We use all of them because I don't wash too often. :) For me the minimum would be 2 dozen regular or 3 dozen newborn, but like I said, I don't like to wash more than every third day max. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-1#post-496742 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 23:24:27 +0000 mrsmate 496742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 25 or 28 pockets, plus a couple of prefolds as backup. But DD is almost 2. When she was an infant we had about 30 prefolds and 6 fitteds and we never ran out (we had the pockets back then too but didn't use them bc they were too bulky). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-1#post-496734 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 23:22:28 +0000 lovehoneybee 496734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 24 OS AIOs. I do laundry every day or two. I wouldn't mind an extra half dozen, but I'm perfectly fine with 24. I had 18 for the first month or so we CDed--that was my minimum. </p> <p>My DS pees A TON though, and starts fussing almost right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-1#post-496719 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 23:18:18 +0000 Pink Champagne 496719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 32 bumgenius 4.0 pockets. We do laundry every three days. We started with 26 and that would get us through doing laundry about every 2 days.<br /> I think if you do pockets or AIO, about 22-26 is a good number. More than that just gives you and extra day without doing laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-1#post-496643 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 22:59:38 +0000 MusicaV 496643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As of yesterday, we had 21 pre-folds in rotation and 2 back-up Kissaluvs fitted. I do laundry every other day. The pre-folds are getting too small, so I'm trying out the cloth diapers my mom gave me from when I was in diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-1#post-496528 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 22:24:38 +0000 78h2o 496528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many do you have?</p> <p>What do you think the bare minimum would be for full time CD'ing?</p> <p>What do you think is a comfortable amount?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
