how many diapers do i need?
this is a very good question and if you are new to cloth diapers or cloth diapering it is certainly one you will need to answer. the best way to figure out how many diapers you need to to ask yourself, “How often do I want to do diaper laundry?” If you don’t mind doing it every other day, you will fewer diapers. If you want to do it every three days, you will need a larger stash. It is generally recommended that you have about 12 diapers per day. So if you are going to do laundry every other day, you’ll want around 24 diapers. Remember, you’ll need to have a few diapers on hand for your baby while you do the laundry.
Another factor to consider while determining what size stash you need is the age of your child, and now often they need to be changed. Younger infants often need changed more frequently than older babies & toddlers. Some babies are heavier wetters than others. And some babies are simply more sensitive to wetness than others and require more frequent changes.
So what is the optimimal number? We suggest you start with 1 or 2 dozen. While 3-4 dozen is certainly plently.
