How many of these will I need to get me started. For example, how many will I need to get through 1 day with a newborn? Thank you !

These are liners, you use regular cloth diapers as the padding to 'do the dirty work,' so these liners are completely reusable without washing them unless they leak. My sister has two, and she says that's plenty. For the absorbent padding, I use the pre-folded 100% cotton cloth diapers, I think they are Osocozy brand. I bought them here. You keep them folded and lay them inside these liners in the area where a disposable has its padding. You'll need a ton of those. One per change until you can get them washed; I picked up two six packs of those to go with these, and my sis says she bought more. But two liners do it for her.

It all depends on each child. Mine for example in the first 5 months used to poo only once a day. Now you can do what we did, buy two of these and have as many cloth diapers as you can have, and just change the cloth diaper but no need to change the wrap until it becomes soiled. hope this helps.

I followed my friend's advice. She had twins and used these. start with 6, you will have more than enough. You don't always need to put them to wash every day, if the poop has not touched the wrap, you can reuse it. However, we did not use it for our newborn, she was too small, 6.3lbs. We started with 6, we are still using them and our daughter is now 6 moths old. They are great.

we used about three a day because its the out side lining to keep everything from leaking, if you wash it out in the sink you won't need as many

A month is what I have read too. However we are not using it to help him with anything specific. We have been using this as a supplement since he was 3. He is going to be 6 in this December and we plan to continue him on this.

We made it through one kid without any breaks. We used bottles at daycare (3 and then 5 days/week) from ages ~3 months to just over a year, something like 3-5 bottles/day.

I bought a case with 128 diapers and used about half. I just gave the rest to the new mom after the shower. One thing though, try to get some that don't have pictures on them. The ones I got had Mickey Mouse & Pluto on them so I had to hide the pictures as much as I could. Either way, it will turn out really cute.

Bare minimum of 5, but newborn poo is explosive, runny, and frequent, so it is very possible that you could need more. If the elastic or gussets get wet, or if poop gets into the seams, they need to be washed, otherwise they can be wiped and reused.

I use a single hemp insert inside Thristies covers. Works wonderfully. With cloth diapers you should change after every wet, and one insert should be plenty absorbent for one wet. My baby is 4 months old and one wet leaves only half the insert wet, so it theoretically could hold two wets from a baby her size/age, but more likely only one wet for older babies and toddlers. LOVE this system because it is sooo TRIM under clothing!

I would go on Youtube, there are a lot of instructional videos. My babies aren't here yet..but I got a lot of great information from youtube

I didn't use these until my baby was about 3 months old so he needed changed a little less than a newborn. You do need to wash them before reuse they are an all in one. I like these at night they are very absorbent. I found were getting only these you would need a lot for the newborn phase. Closer to 30 to wash every other day. I have around 14 that I mix in with other kinds like covers and prefolds where I canuse the cover again and drop the prefolds in the wash.

We used six bottles I beleive. But we also supplemented with formula. So it really depends how much you are going to be pumping. Hope that helps.

It actually suppose to use for one diaper in one bag, which we do (once diapers are getting bigger and smellier :)For breastfeeding new born - I use one bag for 3-4 diapers.

Normally I'd you are just starting out giving this to your baby you start with 1 tbsp and then increase the amount as he/she gets use to taking it from a spoon. One can start with 1 serving/ day and then increase. Also ask your pediatric doctor.

If they're on the same schedule. You can't track the same things for more than one baby. But if they both feed at the same time and you change them at the same time, etc., it'd be fine.

6 boxes in a 48 count. 8 bottles per box with one nipple each box. So you should be getting 6 nipples total in a 48 count box. I have a bunch if nipples never used unopen cuz we still used a regular bottle. If you stay locally I can give them to you for free

Hi um I would think it would be just right for a newborn not two kids. Hope that helps. I have it for one child and its perfect :)

I wash mine every 2-3 days. I do a full hot wash with cloth diaper safe detergent (I use either Original Tide powder or Ecos Free & Clear liquid), then a cold wash with nothing. Sometimes I'll do an extra warm rinse.To diaper one child and launder every other day, you would need about 20-24 diapers. Some people launder every day, in which case you would need about 12. I have collected enough diapers that I could go a week or so with no laundry, but you really don't want to go that long. Don't let them sit more than about 3 days or they can grow mold and get pretty nasty.

For a newborn, 36 is ideal. However, these have a lot more absorbency than a newborn needs, and more than the average older baby needs besides during naps/nighttime. Flats are great for newborns all the way until toddlerhood, and these hemp prefolds are ideal for nighttime/naptime.

Start with one at night. If after two days or so, take a 2nd. that should be all one needs unless you are really malnourished or deficient.
