For the newborn stage you'll need about 12-14 diapers per day. So if you are planning on washing every other day you'd need 2 dozen diapers or so. I'd get 4-5 wraps if you're washing every other day.
I'm planning on 36 for nb/early infant stage, and probably 24 for the rest. I don't want to be tied to the washing machine on a daily basis... I think that should get me 2-3 days between washes should I need it.

for me, a 24 hour turnaround time for laundry is waaaaay ambitious. then again, I'm not there yet. but I know how lazy I am, you may want to cut yourself some slack.
Our babies were born the same day! We use prefolds and Bummi wraps - still in the newborn size but soon to grow out of them. We have 24 prefolds and 10 wraps which gets us through 2-3 days. 10 wraps is more than we need now, but we were thankful to have them in the newborn poop-a-thon phase
