Newborn diapering questions

I know I should know this, but I don't!

We are going to use BG one size diapers. I have a few tiny sized ones but am thinking since we are estimating a big baby I would likely stock up on size small (7-14lbs) and use those from the start.

I was told to expect to go through 10 diapers a day. Is this about correct? I am okay to wash everyday but thinking if I let them line dry it might take too long and I may need 2 days worth? So about how many do I need? Is 10-12 for 1 day going to get me by? Should I buy around 25 so I can allow time for drying and have a few extra?

Help!

    I have 36 diapers for 2 babies, and wash every day. Seems like 24-28 would be good for one baby.

    I wouldn't have less than 36 diapers for a NB to wash every other day. I have 40 & we have almost run out while waiting for diaps to dry. Also, my baby is almost 8lbs, and the BG smalls are still too big for her. In fact, the XS just started fitting this week.

    Thanks!

    I do have some tiny g's on the way, some BG XS, some xs fitted and a tiny grovia for before the BG S and small g diapers fit.
