Thanks for the advice girls!

I have a few teey nappies that I'm pretty sure will fit from birth - Swaddlebees OV newborn, Kissaluvs size 0, and the new style HC smalls (which fit from 2.5kgs). My first baby was 2wks early and born 3.2kg, whilst my last baby was 4kg born only 1 day over his due date, so I'm not expecting anything smaller ]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:45:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20577&PID=482027&title=how-many-nappies-for-a-newborn#482027 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20577&PID=481605&title=how-many-nappies-for-a-newborn#481605 Author: busymum

You can definitely stop there! We have 12 and had to wash every day but it was summer and I didn't mind. 24 will be sweet.

I'm not PG yet, but am/was keen to use cloth. The more I read these threads the more put off I get though. There are so many different kinds / sizes / types I am totally confused about what we would need and when. It also seems on a lot of the pics that the nappies are just huge on most of the babies. I saw some in kirks the other day and had a look and there were so many layers in there the child would have a bum nearly as big as mine!]]> Tue, 02 Sep 2008 15:43:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20577&PID=481327&title=how-many-nappies-for-a-newborn#481327 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20577&PID=480792&title=how-many-nappies-for-a-newborn#480792 Author: jaz

We had 12 small and were always stuffing the pockets off the line as we were using the last or second to last clean one. ]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:39:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20577&PID=480792&title=how-many-nappies-for-a-newborn#480792 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20577&PID=480745&title=how-many-nappies-for-a-newborn#480745 Author: Two Blondinis

you can never have too many cloth nappies

I usually tell people that 18 is a good number for a newborn - you'll be washing more in the early days but that doesn't last too long ]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 20:38:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20577&PID=480745&title=how-many-nappies-for-a-newborn#480745 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20577&PID=480571&title=how-many-nappies-for-a-newborn#480571 Author: kebakat

I'd say that is a nice sized stash, it means you won't need to wash quite so often which will be handy in the early days. I don't think you "need" anymore though . ]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 17:14:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20577&PID=480571&title=how-many-nappies-for-a-newborn#480571 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20577&PID=480568&title=how-many-nappies-for-a-newborn#480568 Author: myfullhouse

We had 24 nappies for Jack and I washed every 2nd day which worked pretty well]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 17:10:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20577&PID=480568&title=how-many-nappies-for-a-newborn#480568 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20577&PID=480562&title=how-many-nappies-for-a-newborn#480562 Author: kiwivic

I'm planning to use cloth from birth with my little one due in March. I've been collecting up nappies over the last few months, snapping up bargains when I see them, but now that I have quite a pile I'm wondering - how many nappies is too many?

I didn't start with cloth on Leo until he was 5mths old so I'm a novice when it comes to newborns in cloth. I just wondered how many nappies will I realistically need if I want to wash every other day? I think I have about 25 newborn/small nappies - a variety of fitteds, AIOs and pockets. Is this over the top?]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 17:08:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=20577&PID=480562&title=how-many-nappies-for-a-newborn#480562
