How many?

[kyls]

So I'm going to be ordering my very first fluffy mail (what an absolutely gorgeous term!!) and to start off with I've allowed myself $150 to spend (this will most likely increase to $250 as I feel my addiction taking hold of me ) now my boy is not a huge wetter but he does pee, he usually only does one poo a day and it's usually always at 7 am (he's gotten himself into a nice lil poo routine ) so I figure to begin with if I spend $150 on pocket fitteds that cost around $20 each that will give me around 7 nappies (well 7.5 to be exact) I know this won't be enough to get me through the winter living in Melbourne it can take three days to dry a pair of socks!!!
Anyway so I was wondering how many nappies is a decent sized stash? I'm guessing at least 20 or so? but for some addicts I'm sure it's closer to 50
I have fallen head over heels in love with a particular brand that are just sooooooo gorgeous I'm just waiting for the go ahead from them that they have the material I like (am I allowed to mention names? must check the guidelines again and see)
anyway so after all that jibberish (had a rough night so my brain has the same cosistency of mashed potato) my question how many is enough?

yeah id say 20-28 atleast. then you'd prolly have to wash everday (to allow for drying time unless you use a dryer), say you use about 7 nappies a day??
pocket fitteds are a good idea for quickdrying.
you can tell us what brand

I was under the impression nappies couldn't go in the dryer? or is that just certain types of material?
The brand that I'm in luuurve with is Beastly Bumz just love the cow print oh and the leopard print, and even the plain white ones, they look like they are exactly what I'm after, as in they are velcro fastening, they are pocket fitteds, and they are just downright gorgeous!!!!

its personal choice.
i dont generally use mine jic it affects the elastic....most of the wahm's will tell you how they think their product should be cared for
oh yes they are pretty ones, i havent even tried them yet!

DP has recently informed me that I will be getting a dryer for my upcoming birthday as I have SOOOO much washing to do Hailey is just a messy kid and Ben is a spewer so I'm forever washing my washing pile never seems to end haha.
When I can get in touch with the lovely lady who makes the nappies I'll ask her about the best type of care for them

haha hi Carmen how's thing with your littlest newly named lad?

[betty]

another thing to consider is covers if you are using pocket fitteds
fleece is an excellent all rounder, I like it better than PUL
bumjumpers are a cheap option and don't need washing for weeks on end unless the touch poo
