I think we have a winner :) I really didn't want to do disposables until LO fits in his 4.0s so that will be perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716593 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:56:22 +0000 tlcbaby 716593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seven weeks to go and only 7 diapers so far. :) we are going to purchase a couple a week and get to around the 25-30 mark. We have a mix of Smart Bottoms and Bum Genius 4.0. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716537 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:44:11 +0000 JoJoGirl 716537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: Yeah I'm pretty excited about it!!<br /> @grizz: Nope, I'm not local! The woman who runs it is awesome, she's answered all my questions about washing/drying/shipping etc really promptly. And they are NEW! If you want to use their used rental, it's even cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716528 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:40:45 +0000 anbanan15 716528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will not give my actual stash size because it is rather embarrassing...we went a little crazy and "needed to try them all". We probably have enough to CD 3-4 babies full time with washing every 2 days or so. I'm working on downsizing to just my favorite brands for this baby. :)</p> <p>I think my ideal stash size would be around 36. Enough for washing every 2 days with a few left over incase they do not get washed/stuffed in time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716514 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:35:37 +0000 littlebug 716514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>24! I do cd laundry every 3 days.</p> <p>ETA: They're all BG Freetime AIOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716511 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:34:47 +0000 avivoca 716511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still building my stash, but right now I have six BG Freetimes. The daycares I am considering only take AIO diapers, so I'd like to have at least 12, maybe 18. I'm doing a newborn diaper service, so I will need to buy some covers (thinking about Thirsties), and I might do prefolds at home, so I'll get some AIO covers as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716501 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:30:31 +0000 Boheme 716501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: That is an awesome deal! Do you think you have to be local to use it since they mail them? Because I am very interested :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716494 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:29:15 +0000 meredithNYC 716494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow - some of you guys have a ton! We have 18 Bum Genius 4.0's, but since LO is nearly 11 months old she tends to only go through maybe 6 diapers/day (she wears disposables for nighttime at the moment). I think we have plenty, as I only have to do laundry every 2-3 days, but for a younger baby we'd be doing a lot more laundry</p> <p>@JoJoGirl: The rental idea for newborns sounds perfect! I wish I had thought of that when LO was tiny, but at the time I was so overwhelmed that I just went with disposables. Next time... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716488 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:27:47 +0000 JoJoGirl 716488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is the one we are doing! <a href="http://www.twincitydiaper.com/catalog/diaper-rentals-and-trials/newborn-rental-new-bumgenius--223.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.twincitydiaper.com/catalog/diaper-rentals-and-trials/newborn-rental-new-bumgenius--223.html</a></p> <p>Much cheaper! We're doing the 36 stash option for $80. It's only 8 weeks but you can lengthen 4 extra weeks for I think $40? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716478 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:25:38 +0000 Boheme 716478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: We are considering doing a newborn rental too! I don't know when he'll fit in his BGs, and there's a local diaper shop that has a 3 month rental for only $160. Very tempting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716431 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 10:12:39 +0000 lovehoneybee 716431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 24 BG AIO (18 Freetime and 6 Elemental). We started with 18 by my MIL bought us the extra 6. When he was a newborn I was washing them every day (with 18) and with 24 I was washing every day and a half or so. But my LO peed ALL THE TIME and could not stand to feel even a little bit wet (even with the wick-away disposables, he could still tell and it pissed him off). </p> <p>He's 8 months now and I wash them every 2-3 days. </p> <p>24 is great for us, 30 probably would have been better, especially at the beginning, but not enough that I felt the need to buy more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716338 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:43:21 +0000 JoJoGirl 716338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No baby here yet either but starting with a rental of 36 BG NB and then will re-evaluate how many OS to get. We figure with a newborn and 36 dipes we should be able to go 3 days between laundry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716335 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:41:28 +0000 jetsa 716335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No baby yet but the goal is 24 BG NB dipes and then 36 BG Freetimes. My hubby does the laundry and I'd like to be able to do them just 2 a week. Also we camp Friday - Sunday most spring/summer weekends and so I want enough to not have to wash them out there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716237 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:17:25 +0000 Mrsbells 716237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have 24 Bum Genius Freetimes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716232 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:15:50 +0000 allison 716232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've got 12 nb fitteds (that he's about to grow out of at 2.5 mo), 3 wool covers and 3 PUL covers. Ideally, we'll switch to prefolds here soon--we have a few dozen of those. But they just don't hold the EBF poop in very well. I'd really like to get bigger fitteds, but I don't think husband will let me. Wah wah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716205 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:12:17 +0000 swurlygurl 716205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 30, and it's more than enough. I think 20-25 would have been a good number for us, and saved us more money </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716186 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:08:32 +0000 twinmama 716186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For twins, we have 15 bum genius 4.0s for nights and outings, and 4 flip daypacks (8 covers and 24 inserts) for home. Plus 8 hemp inserts for nights. </p> <p>Its enough that I can go 2 days without washing when we travel, but I wash everu morning at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-716163 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 09:04:46 +0000 boiledpnut 716163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 48. It was actually cheaper for us to get that many than to just get like 30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-715894 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 07:58:14 +0000 duckduckkristen 715894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 Flip covers with about 18 prefolds and 5 bigger prefolds for overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-715830 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 07:35:44 +0000 Beebug 715830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>20! BG 4.0 and medium FB pockets!</p> <p>More than enough for how we do things, but if we have a second LO in timeline we're hoping for and they're both in BGs, we will definitely need 10 more perhaps, but I do have 10 small FBs too for early days for #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-715787 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 07:13:24 +0000 heffalump 715787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 30.... I always thought that was a lot. But it gives me some extra time to get the laundry done if I have a migraine, so it's good for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-715574 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 02:54:03 +0000 Tidybee 715574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 18 but DD still wears disposables at night. We do laundry every other day. I think it's the perfect amount for us so far. We'll prob add a few more as she grows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-715549 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:44:52 +0000 mole 715549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 24 aios and pockets, plus 11 covers, 4 fitteds, and a couple dozen prefolds. (I also have 7 newborn sized AIOs.) It's more than enough for us. I do laundry every other day, and I barely use the prefolds -- besides, of course, as great burp cloths! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-715421 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 22:51:15 +0000 MamaCate 715421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 26 too! It is perfect for us--we do laundry 2 times a week and use disposables overnight, and it usually works out well with a few leftover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-715420 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 22:51:12 +0000 Giraffe 715420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have 26 BG 4.0s! I was aiming for 24, but then we received 2 more as a gift.</p> <p>With that number, I can do diaper laundry every 2-3 days, no problem. Even when LO was younger and going through more diapers, washing them every 2 days was fine, I wouldn't want to leave them much longer than that anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-cloth-diapers-are-in-your-stash#post-715412 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 22:48:47 +0000 Running Elley 715412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have about 40 for our 6 month old. I started with 25 and it was definitely manageable. </p>
