Critique my nb stash

leighzlou

Right now I have:

20 nb size prefolds

3 kissaluv fitted size 0

3 Thirsties covers size 1

1 Bummis cover NB size

2 Lil' Joeys

24 cloth wipes 

I want to get a few more AIO for going out or when someone watches her. Any suggestions there? A few more Lil' Joeys or xs Fuzzibunz?

I'm hoping to wash every 2-3 days, so I know I need to get some more, but what would you recommend?

I definitely think you need more in general.  If I had to guess, we probably had around 40 and washed every other day.  IMO, I would bulk up on prefolds.  They are cheap and if you trifold-easy to use.  If you wanted to get something a little less scary though-for fitteds I recommend GMD worhorse fitteds (cheap, nothing fancy but at this stage they only use them for a little while) for AIOs-I recommend BG XS.  I don't have experience with Lil Joeys but I heard they leak from more than one person.  We also used KL0s which I liked but the workhorses are cheaper.

I probably would throw two more covers in-we liked our thirsties duo wraps.

I think you'll be good with that, but you'll have to wash more frequently. Maybe a few more prefolds. I've recently started looking into a NB stash. (I have baby fever, lol) I think the Grovia  NB AIO's looked like they might be worth trying.

Here's a linky, they only $13 here.

You can certainly do it with what you have, but you'll be washing constantly, not every 2-3 days. I would aim for at least 36+ but it really just depends on how often your LO is wetting diapers.

Right now I have 24 NB prefolds (from DD's stash), I'm picking up another 12 this week, plus I have 4 newborn fitteds.

If I end up getting any AIOs I was thinking about the grovia NB AIOs. They have flapped inserts for faster drying vs the lil joeys that are sewn in. Also the grovia are natural fibers (I think) and the lil joeys are microfiber. I am interested in the ragababe nb AIOs as well, but they are costly. I might just stick to prefolds and fitteds with covers

We had 24 prefolds, 6 covers (thirsties duo wraps), and 6 BG pockets for starters and that was fine for us, washing every-other day.
