How many of these will I need to get me started. For example, how many will I need to get through 1 day with a newborn? Thank you !

These are liners, you use regular cloth diapers as the padding to 'do the dirty work,' so these liners are completely reusable without washing them unless they leak. My sister has two, and she says that's plenty. For the absorbent padding, I use the pre-folded 100% cotton cloth diapers, I think they are Osocozy brand. I bought them here. You keep them folded and lay them inside these liners in the area where a disposable has its padding. You'll need a ton of those. One per change until you can get them washed; I picked up two six packs of those to go with these, and my sis says she bought more. But two liners do it for her.

It all depends on each child. Mine for example in the first 5 months used to poo only once a day. Now you can do what we did, buy two of these and have as many cloth diapers as you can have, and just change the cloth diaper but no need to change the wrap until it becomes soiled. hope this helps.

I followed my friend's advice. She had twins and used these. start with 6, you will have more than enough. You don't always need to put them to wash every day, if the poop has not touched the wrap, you can reuse it. However, we did not use it for our newborn, she was too small, 6.3lbs. We started with 6, we are still using them and our daughter is now 6 moths old. They are great.

we used about three a day because its the out side lining to keep everything from leaking, if you wash it out in the sink you won't need as many

It really depends on how often you intend to do laundry. If you're using cloth dipes and plan to wash your own (and daily), you'll need less. If you're using cloth diapers but with a service that comes once per week or if you're using disposable, you'll just have to decide what you're willing to wash them with or if you want to wash them alone AND how often you want to wash. I suggest at least 2 dozen to start. Also, if you know someone with a serger, have him/her serge around the edge -- they'll last a LOT longer if you do this. I love these wipes but they did start to fall apart quickly until my mom put them through her serger -- then they lasted wash after wash. Another tip -- don't ever use fabric softener or a dryer sheet with these or anything you want to be absorbent (like cloth dipes)...softeners leave a coating that, over time, builds up and will make the fabric less absorbent. Consider using a nice essential oil with your cloth wipes -- it makes the wipes smell so nice. Best of luck to you! :0)

Happy flute. I'd suggest I've you are going to get any buy two diaper. Don't buy the whole pack of ten.

I'd say approximately 24 Prefolds plus covers and wipes. Maybe more. At least 2 days worth. Occasionally I'd go closer to 3 days. They all fit, it was just really full. This is for 1 child in diapers. If you have 2 in diapers I might consider the larger size.

It comes with one insert per diaper, that is enough for a new born maybe but if you have a heavy wetter I would look at buying additional inserts. I use two for my 16 mo old during the day and 3 inserts at night. But when he was little I used 1 during the day and 2 at night.

I have 24 and I find that I need to wash them everyday so that I don't run out. My son is 2 weeks old and dirties a lot of diapers. I would not recommend getting less than that.

I was actual able to get two diaper per bag. I don't know cost per day, depends on how often your baby goes. Also I only use it for poops- so keeps cost and smell down. I have found it's the only thing that kept the smell down.

They do tell you to wait 5 mins prior to reading the OPK. You should come to Just Mommies, it is a pregnancy forum and we compare tests etc and help each other out. There is a lot of useful info as well! If you happen to join, let me know your user name and I will be more than happy to introduce you to some of the regulars!

You can have more than one reminder per day. I think my mother had four on one day. The message can be fairly long I think.

The inserts are sewn into them already. No additional inserts are needed, that's the Freetime. There are enough layers you won't need more. I've been using them for about 8 months and have only seen leakage if the inserts are sticking out (around the legs, like a wick). Just be sure to it tuck them in. The diapers are a little big for a newborn, so disposibles are best for a month or two. Love these diapers otherwise. They do take about 24 hours to dry, so if you have about 20 you'll be set.

It all depends upon the size of your newborn! I had one at 5 lbs and they were too big and one at albs 3oz and they fit for a while but not too long. I encourage you to buy two or three to have on hand and then see how they fit. We loved them.

I pump into the bottles, but back when I was making more than he needed for daycare, I froze in the lansinoh bags. I kept in the bottles for what he needed for the next 2-3 days. I have 9 bottles and that's just enough for me between pumping and sending milk to daycare. 3 bottles to daycare, 3 bottles for 2 pump sessions at work, and 3 spare to get the next day ready before washing today's.

6 boxes in a 48 count. 8 bottles per box with one nipple each box. So you should be getting 6 nipples total in a 48 count box. I have a bunch if nipples never used unopen cuz we still used a regular bottle. If you stay locally I can give them to you for free

For a newborn, 36 is ideal. However, these have a lot more absorbency than a newborn needs, and more than the average older baby needs besides during naps/nighttime. Flats are great for newborns all the way until toddlerhood, and these hemp prefolds are ideal for nighttime/naptime.

Hi um I would think it would be just right for a newborn not two kids. Hope that helps. I have it for one child and its perfect :)

It depends on how often you plan to do laundry on how many shells you need. We typically get 2-3 uses out of a shell before it needs washed because our little one poops. We started using the microfiber inserts but we ended up switching to organic because they absorb so much better and you don't have to strip the organic ones. It is worth the price difference for us. If these are the only diapers you are using I would purchase 5-7 shells and around 18 inserts.
