Newborn stash?

tsc3260 · April 2012

My sister surprised me today and ordered me 19 sunbaby diapers with liners. Im just curious as to what I should have for NB and what to have for when he gets older. What did you have? Also what about a wetbag, what do you have?

For me, the easiest thing to use for NB stage is prefolds, of which I have 30, and about 6 size 1 Thirsties Duo Wraps. I use a pail liner in a trash can, but for the diaper bag I have a few different wet bags. I like the Bummis the best as far as functionality.

Have you checked out the FAQ link at the top of the board? You can find a lot of answers to beginner questions there.

I'm going to be probably be the odd man out who says she didn't like prefolds. I relied heavily on fitted diapers for the NB stage. Because of the gathered legs, I went through far fewer covers, and even though I had 6 that would fit at anyone time, I could easily make it through a day just rotating between 2 covers. The Thirsties XS covers are a great sized option that work until about 12 lbs., but the Thirsties Duo covers will last until 18 lbs but be a bit bulky at first. Really - any cover with leg gussets will work just fine.

Ditto to pp on the FAQs. : )

LO didn't like prefolds and we didn't have any fitteds (or money to buy a stash of fitteds), so we did sposies for the first 3 weeks until she fit into her OS pockets. The next time around, I'd like to get some fitteds and GMD workhorses - I would count on going through 12-15 diapers/day with a nb, so a total of at least 30 diapers would be ideal.

I would go to Alva baby and order wet bags and changing mats. I am extremely happy with the quality AND the price. The only bummer is that they take a month to get here. Oh, get two wet bags and two pail liners. That way you can use one and wash one at the same time.
