How many do you have?
What do you think the bare minimum would be for full time CD'ing?
What do you think is a comfortable amount?
Thanks!

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.

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.
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.

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.
My DS pees A TON though, and starts fussing almost right away.

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).

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.

Lo is 6 months and have about 2o. Wash every 3 to 4 days and have enough.

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.

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.

We have 28 pockets, and do laundry 3 times a week (Tues, Thurs, Sun).
We do cloth at daycare so our stash is half velcro / half snaps, we try to always send velcro to daycare.

We have 48 prefolds that we use. 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.
