How many do you have?

[NaeNae]

From the title, I am just wondering how many nappies most people have and the number of children you have in cloth, the amount of washing you do etc.

I have 36 MCN at the moment and have said to DH that I want to get more, he doesn't want me too but I am thinking further ahead than he is. I am starting to think about how much of everything we will need when we decided its time to try for a little sister (more likely to have a girl than a boy) for DD.

I am still on Mat leave so still technically making my own money so am looking into getting more stuff like cots and nappies. Nappies being the main one because I can use them now and later on more so then a second cot ITMS.

ANyway how many do you have in your stash, how many do you go through a day, your number of children and how much washing do you do (frequency I am every second day leaving a day for nappy drying time)

Thanks

We have about 60 now I think... thats ranging from small/newborn sized to large which will do her to TT. Plus about 40 flats that we never use as nappies but they are there JIC.
We wash every second day. We don't go through many, I think we have about 30-40 that fit her now and we don't go through NEAR that many, MAYBE 6 or 7 a day, plus a night nappy. But I think thats because she is getting a bit of bladder control and holding onto her wee for longer. Some days she won't wee for a few hours, I'll go to change her and she is bone dry! But thats only in the last month or so.

I won't be buying anymore, even though we are TTC soonish, because we do have so many already, plus Jazz is such a chubbabubba and these nappies do her big roleypoley legs fine but the next one may not be so I don't want to buy up on a whole bunch of nappies that may not suit the next bub.

I did have about 145 in my stash for 2 in full time cloth, culled it to 90, and now have culled again so I have about 35-40 for DS and DD1 and I have probably umm... 18 for DD2.

(We aren't in cloth at the moment but we WILL be once we move and I get to unpack them!)

I wash daily - obviously.

I change the kids every 2 hours otherwise they wet through. (heavy heavy wetters in this house).

So thats 6 during the day - and one for 12 hours overnight.

Can't wait to get in cloth again, spent $40 yesterday on nappies for just 2 of the kids that will probably only last a few days!! Ridiculous..

I have 107 and only 15 of them are for the babies I have plenty of Mediums and OSFM but the girls tiny premmie legs dont suit one sized nappies

[mzcatieboo]

I have:
16 Small Itti Bitti
4 Small Baby Beehind
4 Medium Itti Bitti
3 OSFM Abby Gro
7 OSFM Bubba Moo Minky
3 OSFM Bubba Moo Night
14 Goodmama Fitteds
8 Covers(small,medium,large) all up.

I still want to get some more OSFM but wont need them untill she is out of smalls

[onthefly]

wow.
I have 16 day nappies and 3 night (wash every 2-3 days) and thought I had too many. Obviously I need to get shopping.

We have about 50 nappies (sized and OSFM) for one bub. There's probably 45 in use at the moment and he will soon be out of the mediums of which we have 12. Wash every 2nd day and probably go through 6-7 per day plus one night nappy.

[~Hestia~]

I have 6 OSFM & 16 sized, though DS is only using the 8 mediums of those. The other 8 are the large size that he doesn't fit into yet.
DS only wears cloth during the day so we go through maybe 5 per day at the moment.
I wash nappies probably every 2 days. That seems to be enough for them to dry, might be different in winter though.

My goodness, I thought I had a lot... not really compared to some of you guys

I've got about 15 size 1 fitteds and about 4 covers, about 18 size 2 fitteds and about 4 covers, 2 ittis size small and 3 size med. That's only 38 all up and we only wash every 2-3 days, usually dictated by the bucket being too full than running out of nappies!

[yummymummy]

I am actually buying larges atm as DD isn't fitting a lot of the OSFMs atm and they made up the bulk of our stash but I probably have only 12 at the moment that actually fit her. Before I had about 30 which was so much easier washing wise as it wasn't a big deal if it rained, now if it does its sposie time. But if you think that these guys have heaps... try the nappy addicts website - sheeeeesh they have stacks of nappies over there!! They have a dedicated "Show off your stash" thread for ppl to post photos!! See why its called "addicts" haha...

I have around 70 for DD (ADDICTED ) and need some more because our mediums are getting snug and I'm going to sell off some large ittis cause we are just getting leak after leak. We have lots that we don't use that we tried and didn't like..I think a big cull is coming.

I wash every 3 days (sometimes 4 )
