OK so I am thinking about what I will need for a newborn since I started when DS was just about a year. This is what I had planned:
KLO's rental - 24 dipes for 3 months $150 ($85 credit on return)
6-10 Little Joeys
4-5Thirsties Duo wraps
6 Thirsties Duo size 1 pocket
6 BG AIO small
DS is almost exclusively in Elementals, with a few Piddle Poddle Cadillacs thrown in, so I am hoping they work for this one too as well as they do for DS. So hopefully this is enough to get to the OS dipes.
I have tried pockets and fitteds on DS and we just do so well with Elementals. I love the trimness and he even wears them at night with a knicknappies doubler and fleece liner with no problems. The fitteds and wool were just too bulky and for some reason he got rashes with the pockets.
My thing is, I see so many mixed reviews on KLO's. Some people think they are the absolute best and some hate them. I am nervous about using prefolds, even though this is probably the most economical way to go, but I am nervous they will be a hassle.
Also is 10 Little Joeys too much? I also do not won't to overdo it.
Re: Need help with NB stash
I'm counting 47 dipes which is more than enough! We had about 30-32 and that was plenty to do laundry every other day. You could probably cut back and be just fine.
As for the KL0s. They were ok. I didn't hate them, but they weren't my favorite. We had no issues with leaks but they did get soaked pretty quickly.
