(2 on one day, and a night disposable, and then 2 on the next day) My daughter sleeps 15 hours at night, so it allows us to only use 2 CD a day! I'd like about 10 diapers which would get us FULL time CD for about 2-3 days!Heather Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448790639994293245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-30292075945668352182009-05-02T23:22:00.000-04:002009-05-02T23:22:00.000-04:00bumGenius are our favorite hands down.

I've talked to some mamas who try to get by on as little as 6 diapers and just wash them every day... of course, newborns do require more diapers because they go potty so frequently. Therefore, if you don't want to be washing diapers every day, the we do recommend at least 18 diapers to get you through 1 1/2 - 2 days before having to wash.<br /><br />Another more cost effective cloth diapering alternative would be prefolds and diaper covers - these can be your workhorse in the early weeks, allowing you some time to buy a diaper or two at a time until you have what you need.<br /><br />-SerenaSerena Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05411156406585725029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-80442779119346964102009-04-30T21:34:00.000-04:002009-04-30T21:34:00.000-04:00Great post!

In other words you can start off small and stay small... or expand like most people do.

I feel like this has helped cut down on the cost of power and water impact without adding a ton of cost to the stash. I'm so jealous of your zinnia BG! I got mine a year ago, right before all the new colors came out. So upsetting!

You'll need to bleach the inserts in order to kill off the bacteria. Run the inserts through a small load on hot water with 2 Tablespoons of bleach (for a front loader) and 1/4 cup of bleach for a top loader. <br /><br />If at all possible put your inserts in the sun to dry for a few hours - the sun will also help get rid of stink issues... but you'll definitely want to bleach the inserts in order to resolve the issue immediately - then go with a maintenance routine bleach every month or so. <br /><br />If you put the inserts out in the sun regularly then you may even go longer between bleaching sessions.<br /><br />Remember, you're only bleaching the inserts, NOT the diapers.<br /><br />Hope this helps!<br />-SerenaSerena Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05411156406585725029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-51621953956767614582009-04-30T12:00:00.000-04:002009-04-30T12:00:00.000-04:00It's always great to hear what's worked best for o...It's always great to hear what's worked best for other moms...thanks for your input!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556846566487058008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372695054968205332.post-49135533014462685882009-04-30T11:46:00.000-04:002009-04-30T11:46:00.000-04:00Thanks for the great post!
