So Jami asked a question that made me realize I didn’t quite cover everything I needed to in my previous posts. Here is my best response to, “How many (cloth) diapers do you need for the first year?”
If you are using gDiapers you will need
- 8-10 size Small Little gPants (the cloth covers). 6-8 size Medium Little gPants. The most economical way to buy these is to purchase the Everyday g’s which come in a 6 pack. Then purchase a couple more individuals. If you can find someone who is selling some gDipes in good condition all the better.
- An additional 6 liners
in size small and med/lg. I didn’t cover this before, but it is very important. Babies poop quite often. The poop will get on the liners. Also gDiaper liners last about 3-6 before they need to be replaced.
- 18-24 inserts of your choice. As far as inserts go there is a ton of options. I told you about how I love to use the BabyKicks Joey-Bunz inserts. I’ve also heard that some people like to just use an inexpensive prefold in their gDipes, or if you don’t mind the price, gDiapers also makes a biodegradable, flushable insert.
- Something to store the soiled stuff in til wash time. (I’ll show you what I like to use a little later.)
If you are using other cloth diapers you will need
- 18-24 diapers. Whether or not you have to buy separate inserts will depend on the diaper you are using.
- Something to store the soiled stuff in til wash time.
