Is 3 NB covers enough for a fitted stash?

I bought this lot:

26 Green Mountain Diapers infant fitteds. The GMD website says they fit 5-12 lbs but they didn't fit my youngest around the waist until he was about 8.5 lbs, and they fit until 14 lbs or so.

Includes 33 flannel wipes (I used these as doublers). And also includes 3 newborn BSWW covers and 3 small BSWW covers.

Is 3 covers enough, or should I get more?

The rest of my nb stash is 4 small monkey doodlez AIO... and then 3 size 1 Ecobumz AIO (supposed to fit at 8 lb) and 19 Kawaii pockets (again, around 8 lb). I think if baby is much less than 8 lb, we might just surrender and use disposables for a week or three.

I have 3 Super Brites, 2 wool soakers and a pair of wool longies. This will be my first time CDing a newborn, though...so I don't know.

3 is enough, but 4 would be safer.  Rarely did we need that 4th one, but it sure came in handy when we did.

This for sure. I never go withot at least one back up. 4 is our minimum.

Agree with PP...go for at least 1 more. We had 5 and often used that 5th one!

You can get by with 3.

That said, a 4th or 5th would probably give you some peace of mind. You can pick up a used Thirsties cover for less than $10.

I'll pick up another cover or two. Thanks!
