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

Hello Sheonna, As I understand from my niece as it was a gift to her from me. she has stated there is a monthly calendar for the first 12 months that records babies first milestones.it even has a place for pictures. then for the successive 4 yrs there is place to write about events from that point on. She truly loves it and stated it was one of the best books she has seen for recording babies first years. It even has a place for the history of the parents ie: how they met , when he proposed if that is applicable. i dont think you'll have any regrets from what she has told me. We live on opposite sides of this country so I have not physically seen the book myself but made a point to call her today. Hope this was helpful

I don't think you'd want to leave your diapers sitting more than 3 days, so there's no point in getting more than that amount. I would recommend around 26-30, so you're washing every other day when baby is newborn, and every third day when older. When baby is breast/formula fed, you don't have to rinse off the poop in the toilet or soak them or anything. Just do a rinse in the machine and then a hot wash. When they start solids, you need to dump that poop in the toilet.

I think you could start her in it at any time, including right at the start in your room with you if you so decide. Best of luck and mazel tov! I wish we had this when our daughter was first born.

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!

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.

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.

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.

You can have more than one reminder per day. I think my mother had four on one day. The message can be fairly long I think.

I would agree with trying different brands as every baby is different. But these and grovia shells with soaker pads are my favourite. My baby is quite slim around the hips and thighs so these are the slimest fits out there. In the first few months you can go through a lot of nappies every day. I reckon if you can get 2 uses out of each shell with changing the inserts, you should look at a least 16 shells and 32 inserts to start. The mistake I made with cloth diapering is that I bought a lot of brands on recommendations but unfortunately some did not suit my baby. Take it easy and build your stash slowly over a few months.

These are intended for newborn and up. Our son was so small (born under 7 pounds) and we didn't start using them until 6 weeks old. Honesty, all the diapers we had were intended for newborn and up (one size fits all) but with all the folding over, the diapers were all too bulky. He looked ridiculous. I understood later why some people buy the infant ones for the beginning or just use disposable for the a few weeks.

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

Of course! Just remember that you should only keep a 24 hour supply. Some say 48 hours but, why risk it :) Also if your pediatrician approves it I used motherlove more milk special blend it helped my supply a lot since I was exclusively pumping for a preemie who couldn't latch on. It's a lot of work just keep going as long as you can! And pump as often as you can, you should read about power pumping that helped me a lot as well. Also try motherlove nursing cream its great!

To follow up some previous answers, I've taken the larger version. Directions are to take 3 tablets twice daily. All the info for the large complete tablets are listed here: http://shop.rainbowlight.com/Complete-Prenatal-System-Multivitamin/p/RBLT-101511&c;=RainbowLight@ByName. According to my reading you only have to take 3 of the small tablets per day. Here's where I read that: http://shop.rainbowlight.com/Prenatal-Petite-Mini-tab-Multivitamin/p/RBLT-201822&c;=RainbowLight@ByName.

It comes with one insert per diaper, that is enough for a new born maybe but if you have a heavy wetter I would look at buying additional inserts. I use two for my 16 mo old during the day and 3 inserts at night. But when he was little I used 1 during the day and 2 at night.

We were not able to use these diapers until our daughter was a couple of months old, due to her size. However, we have about 16 diapers and do a load of diapers every other day. We have been using them for 14 months. Highly recommend! OH, and we have the one size diapers (seems more economical and makes more sense to me.. 1 purchase of diapers that fit all the way to potty training, or 3 sets of diapers..)

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.
