Cloth Diapering Two

I know I want to start with cloth diapers in the hospital, but I worry, do I have enough diapers for two? Do I really need newborn diapers? I can't remember exactly when we started full-time with Tate, but he did still have his cord stump. We tried g diapers, but ended up using prefolds and covers most of the time. We have plenty of one size diapers, but I worry that some will be too small for a newborn. Here's what the newborn/ small size stash looks like:

Front: Thirsties Duo Diaper size 1, Sustainablebabyish small bamboo fitted, 4 local WAHM cotton fitteds, 3- size 1 AppleCheeks, 4- small little g pants, Bummis small Super Whisper Wrap, Mother-ease small Rikki Wrap, 2- small Imse Vimse covers, 2- Sugar Peas All-in-twos*; Back: Sustainablebabyish small wool longies, infant and small cotton prefolds, homemade t-shirt prefolds and 2 3/4 packages of small g refills/ inserts

* The Sugar Peas system we have is almost six years old and this will be the fourth baby in our family to wear them! Judging from their website, they have changed things a little.

I am thinking we will try to use the g refills as much as possible in the hospital. Since we are looking at a mandatory three-day stay after my c-section, hopefully this way we won't have to worry about as much laundry. After doing cloth diaper laundry with two toddlers for a week, the thought of a toddler and a newborn scares me a little! (Unless, by some miracle, Tate is mostly potty trained... right now, that's a joke- hahahaha!) Currently we are washing every other day, which means someone is probably going to have to do some of the diapers while I am still in the hospital. That really scares me! **Note to self: add make an instruction manual for cloth diaper laundry routine to the "TO DO" list.

Since I shared a picture of part of our stash, I might as well finish sharing. I'll include just the one size in this post. Then you will know just how BAD my addiction really is what we have to work with for diapering two.

Fitteds, etc.: 4- Mother-Ease, Nifty Nappy, Nifty Nappy Heavy Doody, Nifty Nappy Woolie Wrap, Little Comfort, 6- Swaddlebee's bamboo prefolds, Bumkins cotton contour
Pockets: TweedleBug, 3- Smartipants, Rocky Mountain, Lollidoo, CuteyBaby
AIO: CuteyBaby
AI2s: BumEssentials bumbino, 3- Bamboo Bums utility diapers, 3- Softbums, GroBaby/ GroVia

 

The Cotton Babies one size collection: 12- bumgenius limited edition fleece lined 3.0s converted to snaps, 9- bumgenius 3.0s, 1- bumgenius All-In-One 3.0 converted to snaps and 1- Flip cover with 2 organic inserts 

Some of the diapers are in need of repairs or modifications before they can be used. Tate is such a heavy wetter that extra "stuffings" have caused elastic issues in several of the diapers. I have to figure out the best way to replace the hook and loop closures on nine bumgenius. I was a tester for CuteyBaby, so I have 3 different styles of their diapers. We have a sized AIO, an OS AIO and an OS pocket. Two have the removable tab option and one came with tabs attached. One thing I don't like about their OS diapers is you can't cross-over the tabs. I need to sew an extra loop tab on one of the wings so the hook has something to attach itself to. It's pinned up, now I just need to get the machine out. While it's out, I also have some newborn/ small size fleece and wool longies pinned up that need to be sewn. I think they will be good to have with a winter baby.
I started this post several weeks ago. Since then, I've had to take 3 diapers out of rotation due to PUL issues. There are several more that are borderline, but will probably have to be taken out soon. If I do have to take them out, it is going to make me panic! We are talking about close to 10 more diapers. It just started happening all the sudden to diapers new and old. We've had trouble with multiple wet bags (last picture), but never diapers.  

One company replaced all of their products under warranty when I contacted them. They were all giveaway wins, so I was very surprised and impressed that the company honored the warranty. Another company is also sending me a replacement under warranty. Unfortunately, a majority of them aren't covered any more. I have one that might qualify, but the return policy looks like a giant headache. We also haven't used any of the detergents from their very small "approved" list. The other two companies made it very easy.
