Yesterday, I found a great deal on 19 newborn Bum Genius diapers, and pounced on it, even though we were planning on doing a mix of sposies and prefolds until our BG AIO and Alva pockets fit. I got the lot of 19 for 90 bucks, so I couldn't pass it up. My question is, will 19 newborn diapers be enough to wash every other day until the AIO and pockets fit? It was over four months until BG OS fit DD because she was long and skinny, and we have a coin-op machine, so I cannot wash every day. Should I get more?
Re: Will 19 Bum Genius Newborn (xs) AIO be enough?
However... I wouldn't go with all AIOs for the newborn stage. I would definitely get prefolds and covers too. I don't want to discourage you, because BGs were one of my favorite fitting newborn diapers. However, we commonly hear complaints that babies outgrow the absorbency very quickly. Some have remedied that with baby wash cloths or some sort of small cloth to absorb more.
Also, just because your last baby was long and lean and didn't fit OS dipes for 4 months, doesn't mean this one will be. My first didn't hit 10 lbs till 3 months. #2 was in BG OS diapers at 6 weeks or less I think. (I don't sleep much, my memories are hazy!)

But you really do want closer to 36 changes. Last night I went through 4 diapers on my newborn in about 5 minutes. Really.
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste,
It all revolves around you.
