Thoughts on my newborn stash?

Our first LO is due in a few months and I think I have completed my newborn stash, but wanted some feedback.  I had originally planned on prefolds/covers, but found some great used diaper deals that I really couldn't pass on.

25 kissaluvs size 0

2 kissaluvs size 1

3 WAHM fitteds (seller said they fit her newborn)

10 newborn GMD workhorse fitteds

12 small prefolds

6 covers (I need to buy these still, but I plan to get thirsties duo wraps)

Do I have too much? too little?  Do you see any holes in my stash?

Thanks for your help.  Hopefully once my little guy gets here I will start amassing some knowledge so I can give helpful feedback :-).

    I'd say you have MORE than enough.  I think you'd be fine with the kissaluvs alone so you'll not have to do laundry very often. Likely have to do laundry before you ever run out but that's my opinion.

    I kind of figured I had too many now, but I got the kissaluvs for $1 each this weekend and they are in EUC so I couldn't pass them up even though I knew it would probably put me over the top.  It's official I am a CD addict now Embarrassed.

    That looks like plenty of diapers to me.  I'd recommend getting a couple of snappis to use with the prefolds, and two wet bags (for the diaper bag) and two pail liners.  Also cloth wipes - I find them easier and more effective than disposable wipes.

    That sounds like a lot to me. I'm starting out with just 6 Thirsties duo wraps, some Thirsties hemp inserts, and some birdseye flat folds. We'll work from there once he's born.

    Sounds good to me. I thought we had a lot before LO got here, but then we ended up only using the prefolds as burp cloths and I went out and bought some more fitteds and AIOs. So better to have a few too many I sat, especially so you're not panicking running low when you're dealing with a new baby.
