How many "daycare" CDs do I need?

Shellydawn422

I know this is similar to a post below, but how many CDs do I need for an infant in full-time daycare (7 am - 4:30 pm), assuming I only want to wash every other day and line dry?

I have been buying a mix of snaps and aplix with the intention of the aplix ones being sent to daycare.  If I take daycare 7 per day, then should I have 14 aplix? Or should I have an extra set (an additional 7) in case the laundry is not dry by the morning of day 3?

Sorry for the silly question....I just don't want to have too few diapers to go completely full time.

I like to have 3 days' worth, even though I usually wash every other day. But even though you send 7, you'll probably have 2-3 left clean at the end of the day. So I'd say you'd probably be good with 15.

I have 24, but we use the same ones at home and at daycare.

I have 29 CD's and I send about 5 diapers to DC every day.  That is usually plenty for my little guy.

I work at a daycare and we ask that parents provide 5-6 diapers per day. Most of the infants go through about 4 a day and the toddlers have to get changed whether the diaper is soiled or not every 3 hours. I have one infant who goes through 6 a day (7:30-2:30) on a regular basis. I'd probably keep three days of CDs and wash every other day.

I have 15 day care diapers that are only used for day care (BG 3.0 AIO apex).  Monday I take all 15 and wash Tues and Thurs.  My daycare allows me to keep items in the cubbies and fridge to I keep diapers, clothes, milk and other feeding supplies at daycare so all I have to remember in the mornings is the baby.

Pretty much this. We use BG xs for daycare exclusively, so I wash and send them all on Monday, and then just replenish her stash whenever I wash again (usually every other day). Usually she goes through 3-4 diapers while there (7-3).

We use 5 CDs a day (and have since DD started DC). We take the bag home every day and bring 5 more back the following day. We have a total of about 35 pockets that we use at home and at DC during the day (we use fitteds at night). We wash our dipes every 2-3 days.
