Getting Started
How many diapers?
Part-time: 6-12 diapers (1-2 covers)
Full-time: 18-24* diapers (3-4 covers)
Why 24 diapers? This amount gives you enough diapers to change every hour at the newborn stage and then 6-8 diapers a day as they grow, washing every 1-3 days. Dirty diapers really shouldn't sit for more than 3 days and this is the ideal amount to fill most washing machines. We also recommend adding 6-8 hemp boosters for naps and night.
