When to start prepping?

When should I start prepping CDs?  I'm due October 16th.  I have written on my calendar to start prepping them at 35 weeks (Sept 11th). Our current stash isn't large enough for a load of laundry (6 bG 4.0, 12 prefolds, and a bunch of inserts). My shower is August 6th and I anticipate that we'll finish up our stash after that.

Is 35 weeks a good time to start? Or should I start sooner? We are planning on using prefolds and covers while LO is a NB and I realize that those need to be washed a boat load of times...

I prepped my CDs in three batches:

1) prefolds and other natural fibers (washed four times)

2) PUL covers and pockets (washed once)

3) last minute natural fiber CDs that I got off my registry (I didn't get any CDs at my shower)

My first batch was prepped around Week 32 because I was too antsy to wait :-) We, too, are using prefolds, fitteds, and covers as she is a tiny bean still.

 

Good luck and happy prepping!!

Thanks!

I'm hoping we get a few CDs at my shower.  I set up an Amazon Baby registry with all of our CD stuff on it and am crossing my fingers some of our OOS family will shop from it.

I am due the week before you. I am getting ready to prep all my prefolds because I know that will take forever. I have bought a bunch of secondhand pockets and AIO as well so I might go ahead and wash them soon. Then if I get anymore, I will do them after my showers (not that I am expecting to get any at them).
