10 white next size up prefolds

nappy pins about 200 wipes! well maybe not quite that many

26 fitted nappies ( various brands)
5 prowraps....they have a wierd looking front on them....sort of wavy...are these ok?

wow score!!: sounds great.

i wouldnt touch the bamboo flats. bamboo snappi's, flannel doesn't. and bamboo is softer than flannel.

I would worry you'd lose the stretch of the bamboo flats if you back with flannel?

As for the fitteds, it depends on the size of your bub! LOL!!

maybe some more covers??

Oh I never thought of that!

what sort of covers are best for a bub about 5 pounds?

I used about 2 Bummis covers to start with and then increased it to 3 as weeks went on. I wouldn't say that you need too many. As long as you have a spare when 1 is dirty. You are meant to rotate them so thats why 3 is good. They dry super fast as well. I used some snibs that I got from hospital if I was desperate.

I only got poo on my covers when I was using flats. And even then it wasn't all the time. Now that I am using fitted nappies it doesn't really happen.

Oh I want your stash , I have a 2 week old at the moment although he weighed 8pound 9 ounces at birth. I love my NB fleece covers I have one from thumbprint behinds and one from cuddlybub.
The weenees snibs didn't fit Simon ever but if your expecting a teenytiny baby they should fit.
The prefolds are probably brown because they are unbleached cotton so don't worry about that.

I have some NB Cherub's Kiss Raphaels which fit beautifully on him now, I also have some NB sherpies from Bubble Bubs, which are a slightly smaller fit and do up with a snappy so would fit a tiny baby well. I also have some NB Honey Boy's for going out which are also great.

Wow! You are so lucky. What a fantastic SIL you have.
I used size 0 kissaluvs and bubba j size 1 on a newborn and they were fine (Isabel was 8 pounds 2 though). I found the kissaluvs to be really trim and soft on the skin. The bubba j's absorbency was fantastic and fit for a long time!
