I agree with everybody else... you'll use between 10 & 15 diapers a day. You'll want enough that you won't be scurrying around at 10 at night getting another load washed so you can get through the night. It'll be a big investment up front, but TOTALLY worth it to have enough on hand. Hyphen Mamas last blog post..Where does Sanity go when it's been lost?

Becky's right -- feed, then change. I advise waiting 10 to 15 minutes after feeding for the change, else you might be changing again, or Tater sleeping in an 'uncomfortable' environment. Of course, her routine may vary and you will learn it. I'm of the school of thought that says "baby rules" as far as feeding schedules go in the first few months. The best way to determine whether baby is getting enough nutrition by breastfeeding is # of wet diapers and weight gain. Forget Excel spreadsheets and arbitrary schedules! (That was the biggest (actually, the only) argument I ever had with my mathematician daughter and engineer son-in-law.) However, after the child is 6-7 months, imposing a schedule is probably a good thing. I was never able to do it with my own children, but I have to admit that scheduling and routines have worked fantastically with my granddaughter.

Oh, I got the $25 too, but I just thought maybe they were finally paying the ransom I demanded. lol. I got inserts and doublers since I already have a lot of the diapers. Janelles last blog post..Am I high or low? Photos...

Basically every time you feed her, you will change her! Usually a minimum of 12-15 times a day Congrats on getting the gift card…I love little surprises like that!

I wrote you back…on the dpo! I love the idea of cloth diapers you can wash yourself with the special detergent. The family I use to nanny for paid a ton for a service to come to their home and pick them up!

You will want 24 one size diapers in your stash. This allows you to wash them every other day which is recommend. When they are 0-3 months you change them about 12 times a day. I hope that helps. I have a 7 month old daughter that I have been cloth diapering in bumGenius since she was born. I love them. So easy. She hardly ever has diaper rashes either…so her bum is a happy one
