I have 37 size 1s and 48 size 2s. I have 52 size 1 and OS AppleCheeks for my baby due in a few weeks! I have around 40 or so size 2 diapers, too! I like to have wiggle room to stretch wash day by a few days if I need to. We started with the recommended 24 and found that was sufficient for getting us through 2 days so washing needed to be done every other day.
Next go around I will invest in 10 of the lil joey which are specifically made for newborns! We have 36 diapers. For us this amount is perfect we could probably have a few less and be OK.
I have 90, 79 of which are smart bottoms for one baby …. Our current count is up to 77 I think. And baby girl is expected at the end of August. I had upwards of 85 when I was preparing for baby! But honestly, I ended up having favourites that I used religiously. Rumparooz are my staples, and my Charlie bananas were my favourite newborn!
I have to be close to ! I honestly have no idea how many I have, but I would guess in the neighbourhood of about 50 in rotation for two in diapers. We wash every Enough diapers for about 50 NB changes, and 90 OS changes. Not all are in rotation as some fit better than others as my sons grows.
Considering your caregivers, your time commitment and your style preference, how many cloth diapers you need may change from time to time. Depending on the system you choose , the elements that go into one cloth diaper change may look different.
In general, every cloth diaper change will need something that is waterproof to hold in leaks and some sort of absorbency to catch liquids and solids. Because covers can be reused for two to three changes, you will need a different number of covers than you do prefolds. In general, you will need prefolds and about covers for a newborn, assuming that you will be washing cloth diapers every day. However, they actually come in a pack of three which is more than sufficient.
All In Ones AIOs are one of the most popular cloth diaper styles that we sell at the boutique and for a very good reason. They are a one step diaper that requires no parts or pieces or stuffing or folding. The entire diaper goes on and the entire diaper comes off for each change, meaning your total number of diapers needed is very simple. So how long to newborn cloth diapers last?
For the first few months, babies eat and dirty their diapers in a short and constant loop, which means they need to be changed often. Ok, so we know that newborn diapers will only last for about 4. I recommend diapers per day because things happen and sometimes baby will pee immediately after changing, have an upset tummy and poop a few extra times, and so on.
Though there are still some great, sized diaper options, like AppleCheeks, many cloth diapers now come in one-size options that fit from roughly 10 lbs to roughly 30 lbs. How long your baby will fit in sized or one-sized diapers will vary widely as babies really grow at very different rates and the growth curves they follow really split wide as time goes on. How quickly your baby picks up potty training will also be a factor.
Some babies can go right to potty in a one-size diaper, while others need large toddler diaper options like the GroVia Big O. E and so on. Luckily, even if you choose sized diapers, you will have time to save before needing to purchase the next size up, and baby will be going through fewer diapers hopefully by that time too, so the number of diapers needed as you go will also go down. If clean clothes in a washing machine can start to get problematic, you can bet the farm that urine and feces soaked diapers in a diaper pail also has a limit on how long you want them to marinade.
Even still, these are maximums , so if you can wash them more often, you should; not only to prevent mold and mildew but also as another step to prevent stink issues caused by bacteria build-up.

I hear you.
