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

To follow up some previous answers, I've taken the larger version. Directions are to take 3 tablets twice daily. All the info for the large complete tablets are listed here: http://shop.rainbowlight.com/Complete-Prenatal-System-Multivitamin/p/RBLT-101511&c;=RainbowLight@ByName. According to my reading you only have to take 3 of the small tablets per day. Here's where I read that: http://shop.rainbowlight.com/Prenatal-Petite-Mini-tab-Multivitamin/p/RBLT-201822&c;=RainbowLight@ByName.

I can handle two at a time. If they were not capsules, but pills, I would be able to do but one if that . This is day 3 for me. I have no intention of taking 15 a day. But I will do 5.

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.

It's a good suggestion. I haven't needed any so far. I could see the usefulness of them though. My little one has just started rolling over and wiggling around more so I'll be looking for some shortly no doubt.

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.

dear friend;yes,you need more than one,if you are going along 3 would be ideal;in steamy conditions could last 15 minutes or so;it would be nice to have a cooler with ice,so that you can change them;i have used them inside my apt., have a good trip

The answer to that depends on multiple factors but I will give u my situation. I started with 4 and found I was always playing catch up with sterilizing them in time so I finally bought 4 more. For me this worked becUse at one point my daughter was drinking from the bottle all day and only bf at night(so that's about 4 bottles/day at that time) after she turned around 4 minths(can vary by baby) she started to drink more but not at the same time just more often. My friends have told me that breastfed babies mostly drink upto about 4-5oz Max at a time so you never really end up needing bigger bottles. She is now 7 months and we are using the same bottles. If ur baby will consume formula either entirely or supplemented with Breast milk he or she will drink more at a time and u will probably need bigger bottles around the 3-4 month time frame so maybe just purchase 4 of the 4 oz for now. Hope that helps!

I know this was posted quite a while ago, but wanted to comment. All scales can be off by a few ounces. My baby was weighed on 3 different scales in 1 day and each was several ounces different. Also babies (and adults) will weigh different amounts throughout the day depending on when they last ate, peed or pooped, or what they are wearing. to gauge the accuracy of your scale I would weigh something you know the weight of, like a dumbell/hand weight.

Bare minimum of 5, but newborn poo is explosive, runny, and frequent, so it is very possible that you could need more. If the elastic or gussets get wet, or if poop gets into the seams, they need to be washed, otherwise they can be wiped and reused.

A month is what I have read too. However we are not using it to help him with anything specific. We have been using this as a supplement since he was 3. He is going to be 6 in this December and we plan to continue him on this.

I would buy at least 2 (one is usually being washed), although I bought 3 for my newborn grandson.I got 1 warm, 1 medium, and 1 with feet holes. My daughter used them every time the baby goes to sleep.He really likes them and knows it means sleepy time.

I think you could start her in it at any time, including right at the start in your room with you if you so decide. Best of luck and mazel tov! I wish we had this when our daughter was first born.

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.

Assuming this will be you're only method of cloth diapering, it depends on how much you plan to cloth diaper, whether full time or part time or night only. If full time, you'll need in the neighborhood of 25-30. But if you're planning on part time, then you could do around 18. If you plan to use these with some other cloth diapers, you could adjust the number of these and add them to the number of other brands/methods as long as the total equaled the same as the numbers I mentioned above. Hoping that all makes sense! And good luck! (I clothed diapered my kiddos full time for three years and loved it!)

We were not able to use these diapers until our daughter was a couple of months old, due to her size. However, we have about 16 diapers and do a load of diapers every other day. We have been using them for 14 months. Highly recommend! OH, and we have the one size diapers (seems more economical and makes more sense to me.. 1 purchase of diapers that fit all the way to potty training, or 3 sets of diapers..)

Congratulations! From my experience the small will be too big for your newborn. There will be leakage. I usually have just four of the newborn wraps for my newborns so they fit correctly for the first month. Then I move to the small size and I usually have six of those wraps. And I love the newborn size (I think it is 6-10 pounds) with the umbilical cutout, it really helps protect their umbilical cords while they are healing after birth. Good luck!
