GMD Newborn questions

FifisMommy

I just scored a lot of 18 GMD newborn dipes with snaps on a CD swap. What cover would you recommend for these and how many? Is 18 enough?

Also, anything else you would add for newborns? I was thinking of a few AIOs just for ease/going to grandmas/etc Good idea or skip it? I hear great things about Swaddlebees AIOs I passed up a great deal on Craigslist and I'm kicking myself now and I love the prices on Imagine newborn AIOs. Thanks all!

Are you talking about the gmd fitted? if so you only really need 5 or 6 covers. You should have at least 30 to 36 nb diapers so to fluff out your stash, hehe, I would invest in a dozen gmd orange edge prefolds at the bare minimum with a couple snappi's. Also don't forget about wet bags, cd safe soap, and cd sfe rash cream.

Sorry yes, they are fitteds. Well dang, thought I had my whole newborn stash :

I don't have personal experience yet, but most of my newborn stash is fitteds (21). I have Prowrap covers and some Thirsties Duos, size 1. I also have 2 dozen prefolds (12 each in NB and small).

I had the same thought about wanting some easy diapers on hand. I got one Imagine AIO, but it took so long to dry after prepping it, I'm glad I don't have more! I got Kawaii P&Ns instead. I hear they fit well at the NB stage, but also last a while longer than other NB AIOs/pockets, and they're pretty cheap.

I just remembered I have 3 PNs! Duh. I need to look at my stash again to make sure I didn't forget anything else. Thanks for the advice everyone!

You will for sure get your money's worth with the PN's! My DS just turned 1 and still fits these! If you want easy diapers I would order more of those....of course pf's would be cheaper hehe

My dream NB stash consists of 24 GM Workhorse organic fitteds with Snaps, 6 Thirsties Duo Wrap size One, and 8-10 BG NB AIOs. 

Right now I only have 4 BG NB AIOs and 1 Thirsties Cover, so you're doing better than I am

I never found a need for AIO's.  Prefolds and fitteds with covers work just fine and really are not that difficult.  We use them at home, overnight, on the road, etc.  It doesn't matter.  For me...keeping it simple keeps it easy.
