How many cloth wipes do you have?

Right now I have 16 that I made from old hospital receiving blankets (I really like them!) and 4 I made with velour and terry cloth. Should I make some more up cycled blanket cloths or make some out of something else or maybe even buy some?

    We have 48. It is enough to keep a stash at both our changing stations and in the diaper bag without running out. Before we got that last dozen - I was always robbing peter to pay paul - so to speak.

    I have 36 from receiving blankets and a dozen baby kicks I got as a gift. I haven't used them yet, but I think that's more than enough.

    I think we have somewhere around 36 total. I would make or buy some more if I were you.

    I have around 36 and it's enough, but I would like to make some from extra flannel blankets just to have some extras to keep stocked in the diaper bag, and bc I prefer my flannel wipes to the terry baby washcloths I use. They just seem softer on LO's skin.

    I have 3 dozen and it's more than enough, but I only change diapers in one place in the house, so I don't need multiple stashes. I could probably get by with 24 but I got them for a great deal on etsy so I decided to stock up. 

    (That's with two kids in diapers, also.)

    I have over 60. But I know that is way too many but it is sure nice to have that many on hand.  especially if I go an extra day between washes.

    Probably 36-40, but that's for twins.

    Yup. The first time I did diaper laundry for wipes - I bought more.

    I have 3 or 4 dozen.  I'd say 3 dozen is a good amount to have.

    I made 7 dozen and we NEVER use all of them. That being said, my DD is almost 10 months old and the single ply wipes (for pee) are already really worn. I made about 2 dozen double sided wipes for poops and when DD had a stomach bug and had diarrhea 8+ times a day for 6 days, we ran out of wipes. I would think 4 dozen should be good!

    Not sure how many I have, but I want more.  I maybe have around 30.  I like to have a bunch everywhere, and am also working towards using those as wipes for my hands and what not when we are out and being able to not bring disposable wipes in the diaper bag at all.....so, the more the better I think.  I also made some from recieving blankets and am itching to make more.
