Yeah, no soaking, MCNs work best when dry pailed (bucket with no water) and definitely no bleach - the sun is the best for getting out stains.

I had 20 fitteds and 12 AIOs for the boys. This got me by for 2 days without washing. Plus 1 wool cover for each, and 4 PUL covers for each. You would likely need more for a nb, but if you are using prefolds then you wouldn't need extra fitteds or AIOs.

I love the BBH (baby beehinds). I got an email the other day, they are bringing out new minkee Magicalls (AIOs) in a month or so - what a pity I have absolutey no need for more nappies. They look gorgeous!

ETA - I'm still bfing DS2 at 20 months so don't wait until you stop bfing to use MCN PMSL!! The runny poos stop after a couple of months, it's not due to bfing, it's just the age!!
