Cloth Diapering Guide - How Many Do I Need?

How many cloth diapers will I need?

Suggested Amount of Diapers - How many diapers you will need to purchase will depend on how many children you will have in cloth, how many diapers your child usually uses and how many times you would like to wash a week. Here is a formula that can help you decide:

Amount of diapers needed=Amount of Diapers used per day x Days in between washes x Amount of Children in cloth

Covers= 2 for each day in between washes x Amount of Children in cloth

Doublers=2 for each day in between washes x Amount of Children in cloth

Wipes= approx 2 dozen per child in cloth

Snappi Fasteners= at least 2 per child in cloth

Pail Liners= 2 



Newborns usually will need a diaper change between 10-14 times a day, young babies 8-12 times/day, older babies and toddlers 6-10/day.
