32-36 DIAPERS is a handy number to have available. This would let you wash your diapers every 2-3 days. A newborn will need 10-12 diaper changes daily, eventually decreasing to an average of 8 changes per day. One could start with 24 diapers if prepared to wash diapers more frequently (every 2-2½ days). You will need to keep a couple of diapers to the side while washing so as not to run out, and it is good habit to wash only 24 diapers (or so) at a time as too many diapers in one load become difficult to properly clean.

4-6 DIAPER COVERS are handy to have at any given period. It allows proper airing between use, and if a cover needs washed, it is not imperative that it be done immediately (which is sometimes a handy option). We choose wool covers because we like the properties of wool - it is breathable and it lets moisture evaporate rather than trapping it against baby’s skin. Wool actually wicks moisture away from your baby's skin and will help regulate body temperature. The body retains warmth without over-heating.

10 LINERS can be enough, to begin with, and one can then add to the collection as needed. Also called doublers, liners are inserted inside the diaper for added absorbency. We recommended them for night-time use or any time some extra padding is needed. A thinner liner may do the trick during the day, while a thicker doubler will offer extra protection against leaks at night.
