The number of cloth diapers that you will need will depend on various factors, including your babies age, how often you plan to do laundry, and whether you will be using them exclusively or doing combo-cloth (aka a combination of cloth diapers and disposables).
Generally, newborns will going through 10-12 diapers EACH day, and older bubs will use less. If you plan to wash every few days, you'll need enough to cover that timeline. Using disposables part-time? Subtract a few. Have multiple kids in diapers? Add those two ages together.
Heres a rough estimate:
|

Wash Daily | Every 2 Days | Every 3 Days |
|
Newborn 0-3 months |
10-12 |
12-24 |
30-36 |
|
Infant 3-12 months |
8-10 |
16-20 |
24-30 |
|
Toddler 12+ months |
6-8 |
12-16 |
18-24 |
