Hi!!!

So happy to find this community as I'm totally new to CD

I'm expecting our first child this summer and still in the progress of making my NB stash. I want to cut the cost so will start with prefold in the beginning and work from there. Please let me know what you think? Thanks so much!!!!

Here's what I have so far:

Prefolds

24 x Bummis Organic Cotton Prefold, Infant

 

Diaper Covers

4 x Thirsties Duo Wrap, Size 1

2 x Bummis Super Lite Diaper Wrap, Newborn

1 x Bummis Super Whisper Wrap, Small

1 x Happy Heiny Stacinator So Simple Diaper Cover, small

 

Fitted

2 x Bummis Bamboozle Bamboo Fitted Diaper, Size 1

1 x Bummis Bamboozle Bamboo Fitted Diaper, Size 2

 

AIO/Pockets

4 x Bumgenius OS 4.0

2 x Tots Bots Easy Fit AIO

 

Misc.

3 x Snappis

1 x Kissa's Antibacterial Pail Liner, White

Looks good! Do you plan to use cloth or disposable wipes?  How about a small wet bag to stick in the diaper bag for changes when out and about?

I think the Tots Bots might fit a large newborn, but the BG 4.0 won't for a little while.

We have two pail liners and it really helps.

I'm definately using cloth wipes! Bought some fabric and sew about 50 of them, along with some burp cloth too

I know the Tots Bots and BG will be too big for nb... so still considering getting some Lil Joey for DH. Do you think I can get by the first few weeks just on prefold + covers?

Thanks so much for your advise!!!

I haven't heard great things about Lil Joeys, I think BG XS are more loved here (and they come in velcro).

You can get by with prefolds and covers the whole time you diaper your baby.

We used 48 GMD prefolds for the first 2 months for two babies and washing every other day sometimes it wasn't enough. I'd have liked an extra dozen.

Also, if you are planning to EBF, your covers will be dirty almost every poop. Somehow it was hard to contain in the begining. That said I might grab another couple covers if you see them come up used or something since I can imagine going through 6 in a day easy.

The BG XS and Little Joeys have great resale value if you pick up a few. Once my girls hit 7lbs we used BG AIO Smalls on them overnight. Yes, they were super bulky (not as big as the OS on the smallest rise though) but the velcro for nighttime use is well worth it! Might be worth looking into? You only need a few for the middle of the night changes.

I also second whoever said get another pail liner. It takes me a day to get a load of laundry done and it's nice to not feel super rushed by having another in the pail already.
