FTM needs stash advice

Aeml1985 · November 2014

Hi ladies, we are expecting our first in March and have slowly been building a stash to spread out the cost. This is our plan at present and would welcome any advice on things that are missing/needed. For the first couple of months we are planning on prefolds and covers then one size pockets. At present this is what we have: Bummis infant kit •24 Organic Cotton Prefold Inserts (infant) •6 waterproof wraps: 1 Super Whisper Wrap, 1 Super Snap, 2 Super Brites, 1 Super Lite and 1 Original Wrap •3 rolls of Bio-Soft Liners (small) •5 Fleece Liners •1 Fabulous Wet Bag (large) And then 13 one size pockets (6 bumgenius 4.0, 6 fuzzibunz and 1 AMD, all of these have 2 microfiber inserts, one newborn and one bigger size)

Yes I forgot that we have 2 snappis, CD cream and laundry soap. I don't know what size the covers are, they are the ones that come in the bummis kit. Same with the liners (which might be handy later in the solid poop days, no so much for the NB stage. So you think we need at least 12 more prefolds and 9 more pocket/air for after the NB stage?

I thought a prefold is a flat?

What about some fitteds to round out your NB stash? Green Mountain Diapers workhorses or Kissaluvs size 0s are popular choices and make those MOTN and out of the house changes easier.

I agree with afwifelife on needing at least one more big wetbag and a couple small s. Also definitely wait for the rest of your OS stash. You'll be amazed at what you like that you thought you wouldn't and/or what you like as baby grows that you didn't like when he/she was itty bitty.

I was thinking about fitteds, I still need the cover right? Thanks ladies for all your help

Yes you still need a cover.

I would definitely add some fitteds and covers, and always more wetbags!
But what about trying a few AIOs just to see how you like them? Simplex and bum genius are popular nb AIOs. Or if you really love that 2 piece system check out best bottoms. They are one-size but will start fitting around 8 lbs.

WSS. I loved the NB simplex! And best bottoms are amazing. They fit very early.

Green Mountain Diapers workhorses are awesome as well! Also, if you're going to get some more covers, I'd suggest trying a couple other brands to see what you like best. Thirsties duo strap size 1, sweetpea, and rumparooz get lots of love.
