Can I get a newborn stash critique?

Littledeer84

I have been stalking this board for months now, trying to learn what I need to make cloth diapering work for us. I think my nb stash is almost complete - what do you think?

4 NB AIOs

11 Orange Edge Workhorses (6 with snaps, 5 without) (I'm sorry for the uneven number! There is a reason)

16 Orange Edge Prefolds

12 Yellow Edge Prefolds

5 FSTs (I wanted to test out flats this way)

Covers:

1 Econonum NB

1 Bummis Super Whisper Wrap NB

1 Nikky NB

1 Bummis Pull On NB

1 Thirsties Size 1

1 Blueberry Mini Coverall

1 Econobum OS Cover

Accessories:

2 hanging wetbags

1 Medium wetbag

Trial size CJs

Coconut oil

3 dozen cheapie washcloths for wipes

3 snappis

Original Tide powder

Am I missing anything? Looking forward to being able to participate more once LO gets here. Thanks!

So what IS the reason?

Honestly, it looks pretty good to me.

Nicely done.  That stash looks really good.  Love that your ticker calls your DD Stinkface.

Well, I just realized that it makes my overall stash even, so that is good.

But the original reason is that there were no unbleached snapless orange edge WHs avalible the first time I made an order. And I really wanted to see what they were like, so I ordered 1 bleached workhorse. Then later I got the other 10 that I have now.

Diaper wise, looks great. 

The only thing I would add is at least one more medium wet bag for the diaper bag. You need at least 2 for when one is in the wash.

Looks great to me. After over a year of CD'ing, I've decided I like having four large wet bags so I can hang one each in LO's room and in the bathroom (since we have to spray diapers now), and have two dry to use when I throw those in the wash. Definitely not "necessary", but a nice convenience! I did fine with two for the first six months or so but after that more were really useful. I also like having a LOT of wipes, so I would do more than three dozen, but also not necessary, more of a convenience. How about a spray bottle or peri bottle for wetting the wipes?

Do you have some sort of hanging rack for air drying covers and diapers?

I do have a laundry rack...but I need to get a squirt bottle for the wipes. Do you think I should just start with water only, or is a solution necessary with nb poop?

I loved my Boingos at first. With flats on a tiny newborn you usually just need one across the front

In totes going to use my Boingos tomorrow ...
