Getting started with cloth diapers is the most difficult part of cloth diapering. The possibilities are endless and with the vast amount of information available making a decision is nearly impossible.
Here is what we recommend:
Diapers and Covers: The more you have the less often you need to wash. A good starting point is 24 diapers and 6 covers. With a newborn this will mean washing every other day however once you know what works for your baby you can add to your stash. Start with an assortment of both diapers and covers to give your self the opportunity to try different kinds. 12 Prefolds plus a few varieties of fitted diapers is a great way to start. Try at least two different kinds of covers.
Wipes: start with 24 wipes.
Diaper Tote: The tote bags used to contain the soiled diapers until you are ready for laundry. 1 Large (or XL) for the nursery and 1 small for outings.
