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

I use a single hemp insert inside Thristies covers. Works wonderfully. With cloth diapers you should change after every wet, and one insert should be plenty absorbent for one wet. My baby is 4 months old and one wet leaves only half the insert wet, so it theoretically could hold two wets from a baby her size/age, but more likely only one wet for older babies and toddlers. LOVE this system because it is sooo TRIM under clothing!

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.

I bought a case with 128 diapers and used about half. I just gave the rest to the new mom after the shower. One thing though, try to get some that don't have pictures on them. The ones I got had Mickey Mouse & Pluto on them so I had to hide the pictures as much as I could. Either way, it will turn out really cute.

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!

The first cycle you can use up to 20 sticks. The second cycle I used 11 because my body is different. Everyone in all actuality is different. But I think it is more expensive but it does give you a difinitive answer. But again, it depends on how long your cycles are and what not. It's basically getting to know you.

I'd recommend a minimum of 12 - if you do Landry everyday. I have the Thirsties prefolds as well and absolutely love them. I'm still using the small size on my petite 18 month old. I had 1 of each and just liked them so much better than these. Better investment and useful longer, as well as more versatile. But maybe get a few of each and see which you like best. You can always add more of what you like to your stash and with a newborn, you almost can't have too many inserts. Definitely hemp is the way to go. Much more absorbent than other fabrics and most are blended with cotton so there is no need to top it for improved absorption.

I'm not sure what the difference is between 1 and 2. Right now, I take 1 daily and if need be, I'll take 2-3 but usually 1 per day keeps me in pretty good shape. When I first started taking it, I would take 3 and wait about 24 hours and if nothing, I'd take another 1 and so on until I found out how many worked for me. My sister has gotten up to 9. I've gotten up to 5. Like I said though, I don't have to take that many now and 1 a day seems to keep me regular. :-) Hope this helps!

Well, actually there's 5 (to my knowledge). Face in, face out, on hip, on back, and the cradle position for newborns. Unless your right hip and left hip count for 2 positions... LOL :D anyway, have had this carrier since my baby was 5 months and shes now 16 months. Most often use face out position... She's almost big enough for the piggyback position... Haven't tried that one yet. Me and my daughter absolutely love this carrier! Perfect support... Could wear my 23 pound baby for hours if I had to!

I would suggest about 25. Then you can half in the washing rotation and half in the clean (getting dirty) rotation. These are awesome! I just washed mine to get ready for baby #2. Make sure you have a diaper cover (maybe 6) that are sized for a newborn

I delivered two very healthy and big babies, I think they cover the pregnancy needs very well keeping in mind that your daily diet should be healthy and whole. This is a supplement not a replacement to a healthy diet.

Generally, I can get by using one or two covers per day --alternating each change so they air out completely. I have 4 covers, but 6 would be ideal and allow for backup if any covers get poo on them and need to be washed. In a pinch, I just let my 18 month old go without a cover (as long as a bm is not in his near future).These covers are just a single layer of fabric, and don't absorb much odor to begin with.

Can I just say-- this is a GREAT question and will be so helpful for other first time parents. Thank you for asking this.

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!)

Well I use it for baby formula and with newborns it took about 2-3 days to go through a batch. I haven't really ever had enough made to go longer than that. I probably wouldn't go longer than 4-5 days personally.

Yes, I believe so. We started at 3 weeks, but I suppose it depends on the size of the newborn.
