If I want to wash every other day... (AIOs)

How many do I need in each size? I've mainly been using prefolds and washing every third or fourth day but want to start washing quicker with the AIOs.

I realize I should be able to figure this out on my own but my brain is fried today. If it helps, she goes through 6-7 diapers a day.

    I would say at a minimum you want three days worth as some AIOs can take 24 hrs to get completely dry.

    7 diapers/day x 1.5 days= 11 diapers (in wash)

    + 1 day dry time= 18 diapers (total)

    I would buy 24-30 diapers to make sure you have enough on extra messy days or for if you need to go a little longer between washing.

    If you don't want to spend that much $, I'd just get 20 AIOs and have some PFs & covers for backups.  If she is outgrowing her PFs, you can always trifold them in an OS cover.

    also, some AIOs dry faster than others, and you could use the dryer on low if you get behind...
