How much reusable nappies will I need for a newborn baby?
Hello. I am due in 3 weeks so I know Im a bit latchy! I am using reusable nappies when my baby girl is born and I have bought all the accessories (bucket, wet nappy bags, wraps etc) and i just need to get the nappies themselves. I'm going for the 'GroVia Hybrid' from fillyourpants.com as I have heard good about them. They are one-size therefore cheaper than buying individual sizes so that's my choice. The only thing I am not sure of is how many I actually need to buy. What I've been told varies from 13 to 25 so a little help would be great from experienced cloth nappy users on a newborn. Thank you in advance :)
Can nobody read? I said REUSABLE not disposable. There's a difference. I have respect for my environment and animlas therefore I am using REUSABLE.

The Grovia Hybrids multifits will NOT fit an average sized newborn girl. The first couple of weeks you either need to use disposables or prefolds/flatfolds.
As a general rule a newborn needs to be changed 10-12 times a day in cloth, there are exceptions such as my daughter who would soak through 24-30 nappies in a 24 hour period. How many you need depends on how often you plan to wash and what drying method you plan to use. As a general rule expect to do a nappy change an hour with a newborn so for daily washing 24 nappies is the suggested number for from birth cloth usage.

It really depends on how often you want
to do laundry and how long your brand of choice takes to clean (different types have different washing instructions). If you are home every day with baby you can do laundry more often but if you have a busier schedule then you need extras. Your baby should need approximately 8 clean diapers per day in the beginning, so 12-25 sounds about right to me depending on how often you can do wash.

the unique reusable Terry Nappies - around on account that long earlier the age of disposables. they are - greater advantageous for the ecosystem - greater inexpensive interior the long-term - enable the exterior to respire (reducing the possibility of nappy rash) - and can be sensible as cloths long after toddler has grown - high quality is critical for convenience and era - spending greater on them, is a robust investment. could desire to be attainable in maximum first rate shops.
