Would all of you CD experts help me with my stash? I'd really appreciate it. Let me know what I should get next. So far, I have: 3 Flip shells (2 snaps, 1 Velcro) 6 flip MF inserts 6 Fuzzibuns (each came with 2 inserts) 6 Bummis prefolds 2 Rumparooz shells 2 snappis 1 wet bag
ETA: I should also add that I'd prefer not to spend a lot of money on NB size if I can help it. And for some reason, I'm a little intimidated by prefolds, but figured I'd give it a shot. I hear they're not as scary as they seem.
Prefolds are cheap and easy. Baby is 5 months and I'm still using the same 30 PFs and 8 Thirsties covers. Pockets are good at night but still kinda big on my little babe. I definitely hated FBs. Although trim, they are hard to stuff, leak, and bruised my babies inner thigh (the stupid button). My advice is start with Prefolds and experiment with pockets as baby gets bigger.
That doesn't seem like much and a lot of it won't fit right away. My recommendation would be to buy a dozen NB prefolds, a dozen infant PFs and some smaller covers. I only bought PFs to round out my stash without spending a lot and I ended up really liking them... plus they still get used at 6 months to stuff pockets and as burp cloths.
No. I'd take it back and use the money for something else. You want a pail that can breathe (contrary to popular belief). A sealed pail like that can cause stink and ammonia issues.
