Ok so how many nappies do you need in a stash for a newborn, bearing in mind it's likely to be a 9-10lb newborn?
I'm thinking of small bamboo Sandy's under wool, mainly interlock I can throw in the wash easily, with a few chunky knitted and handspun soakers as I like those under sleep suits. We used organic cotton tots bots with Ella, which were ok, but we had a lot of problems with rashes with them. I'm sure there will be some fitteds in among things, but I'll have 8 months to stash build. If I space out building it up, I'll barely notice any cost involved and can get regular cloth fixes.
The other thing I want is to make up some prefolds and use those inside really basic wool interlock pockets. I want to avoid PUL and probably pocket nappies until much later on, certainly no PUL wraps as we had such problems with them before so I don't really get on with PUL particularly. How many prefolds and fitteds do you tend to need though? With Ella we started from after 4 or 5 month, can't really remember, but she was only just rolling about at that stage where I held off until she went into size 2s before buying her a stash.
