What do I need to Get started ?

                            That all depends on the question I have , "How often do you wish to do laundry?"

                           It also depends on which diapering system you choose to use.

No matter which you choose as babies get older you will need to use less.

Newborns - from about 4-9 months old you should plan on having about 12 diapers for each day of laundry. This means if you want to do laundry every other day , you will need about 24 diapers.

 Infants - From about 4 - 9 months you should plan on having about 8-10 diapers a day, for each day of laundry.

Toddlers - From about 9 months and up you should plan on having at least 6-8 diapers a day for each day of laundry.

 Covers -  For newborns I recomend having a cover for every 4 diapers so if you have  24 diapers you will need about 6 covers. ( If you breast feed you may need more as most times you nurse the baby tends to have a BM.)   For All other ages you will need about 2-3 covers per each day you do not want to do laundry.

Fleece covers -  These are great for a breathable system .  Many choose to use these at night time for an added protection. These can go a few times between wearings , they do not need to be changed everytime, depends on how wet and how long you go between changes.

 Diaper inserts -  You will need about 1 per diaper . These are great for extra protection.

 Diaper Pail - You are going to need some sort of pail, there are many suitable type containers at most stores. Even Home Depot. I also highly recomend Bummis diaper pail liners, these make it much easier to dump diapers into the wash and help keep the pail clean, you just throw the liner in with the wash. ( having 2 will give you one to wash and one to have in the pail) We carry these in 2 sizes.

Wet bag - It is very nice to have a wet bag for carring your soiled diapers when you go out. A plasitc bag will do but Bummis has a nice water proof bag in 2 carring sizes in different colors. We carry these also . 

   Diaper Liners - At this time we do not carry these at this time. They can be useful to have and make soiled diapers ever easier to clean.
