Newborn Stash and a ?

We are going to go the AIO route for the newborn phase and I was just wondering how many diapers do I really need. I could possibly wash every night but it's the line drying that I don't trust, especially during the Winter.

Here is my stash right now:

12 BG AIOs NB

12 GroVia AIOs NB

4 Rump.a.Rooz Lil Joeys (sooo expensive lol)

I paid $200 for all of these new so it wasn't that bad. Do you think 28 is enough? I also have some FuzziBunz OS Elite that run very small (4) that I could also use, but no prefolds. I do have Flip covers with reusuable and disposable inserts but they are OS and look pretty big IMO.

I need to know so that I can get away from all the CD sales, I can't stop buying or browsing :(

    I would count on going through at least 12 diapers a day during the newborn stage, especially very early on. The AIOs will take longer to line dry -- are you opposed to drying them in the dryer for any reason?

    I would recommend you get a dozen prefolds and 2 covers or so for emergencies.  If you don't use them for diapers they make excellent burp rags.

    Well not against it, but the label says to line dry at least the BGs. Then I asked on here and everyone said that the heat destroys the PUL. I could put it on low but it's a coin operated communal dryer and it's pretty crappy. I use BG Freetimes for ODD but those are pretty easy to dry because of the design. Do you use the dryer?

    And only 12 diapers a day? Phew, I am cutting it so close!

    I didn't have the courage to cloth diaper my newborn the first time around, but I'm going to this time! That sounds like a good stash...I would agree with getting a few prefolds and covers just in case you don't get to the laundry in time. 

    I also just wanted to say that we used Flips starting from when my DD was 4 weeks old. She was a pretty average size, maybe a little bigger than average. But I bet you'll be able to use your Flips earlier than you think. :)
