my sister hopes to have another baby. i was talking to her and with her first, she loved the fitted diapers i gave her and she hated the prefolds. so, i'm doing a cloth diaper demo at the family centre and there will be an opportunity to sell some of the dipes i'm not using.
what i need to figure out is what to set aside for sis, in case she has another baby. she'll only want my fitteds and i now have more than one baby needs. for smalls (8-18 lbs) i have 21 green flannel diapers with no closures. she loved these. i now also have 24 white velcro flannel with rayon soaker. originally i thought they were different sizes but the green and the white are almost exactly the same dimensions so.. she obviously doesn't need all 45 diapers. how many should i keep for her? for mediums (18-30 lbs) i have 31 white flannel with rayon soakers (velcro), 5 white flannel with unknown soaker (also velcro), and 3 white flannel (flannel soaker, snaps). again, i doubt she needs all 39. i'll also make some larges when she needs them. also, in case my other sister has a baby (and she might want prefolds) do you think 36 infant/standard prefolds and 24 baby/premium prefolds will do? i also have a whole lot of super whisper wraps.. plus my one-size snap wraps (various brands). not sure how many of each size sww to set aside. i'm using the one-size wraps now but by the time either of them gets pg and has a baby, i'll be done with them. |

For fitteds and prefolds, I really think 3 dozen is a minimum for the newborn- medium stage. 24 is a minimum for the large stage if you are washing every other day.

Ditto what Clare said about the diapers. For the covers, I'd set aside maybe 6 in each size.

thanks! i've decided to sell a dozen each of the small and medium fitteds, keeping the rest for sis. i'm also keeping 36 infant prefolds (selling 24), as well as keeping the 27 premium prefolds i'm using now. that way, depending on what my sisters want in the future, they can have either fitteds OR prefolds, full sets, and i'll include up to 6 wraps (depending on what i have) in each size. i definitely have enough small wraps for both sets (plus i can sell some), but only enough mediums for one set. haven't counted my larges but probably have enough but no extras to sell.
mind you, i'm using one-size wraps right now for katie, and by the time either of my sisters has a baby i'll be done with them, so if someone wants to buy the medium wraps, i might consider it. sis can use the OS and/or wool wraps (which i am NOT ever ever giving up). :) and, i'm selling 24 bumgenius OS pockets. i hope someone wants to buy them all, i could use the money! |
