So how many diapers will you need for a newborn?

A newborn will need about 10-12 changes a day for the first few months. So a good figure to start out with is 3 dozen diapers. This could be 3 dozen prefolds or fitteds and 8-10 covers or perhaps 3 dozen AIOs or AI2s. You can pick and choose what will work best for you and many times the newborn phase is the expirimental time you use to figure out which system works best for your family.

You may want to try one of the numerous sampler packs available on the market that provide you with several different diaper types so you can try out each different type. AND of course remember that you will need certain accessories too, such as cloth wipes, a wipes solution, a diaper pail or tote, some doublers perhaps and a wet bag for outings.
