Default Do I need more shopping?

hiya lovely ladies I need your opinion on my nb stash. I know I have quite a lot but then I'm not really sure if they're enough to last if I wash every 2-3 days. I don't remember how many nappies Becky went through a day, so not sure if I need to get more. I also want to take an advantage of the GDUNH's discount so if I need anything, I want to buy them now

1st pic: AIOs
2nd pic : NB fitteds
3rd pic : small & osfa fitteds
4th pic : nb covers

So that's 7 AIOs, 15 nb fitteds, 12 small fitteds, and 4 covers.

I realise I need a few more covers although I have about 3-4 small sizes which might fit a bit later on. Bub is likely to be small, shouldn't be over 3.5kg (Becky was 2.9kg) so the nb fitteds should last for a while WDYT?

Oh I still have some fluffy mail on the way:

2 x Green kids pockets
1 x Kissaluv size 1
1 x small Bubblebubs AIO
1 x Bamboo Bubba J size 1
1 x small sherpie
1 x CK's Auriel size 1
a few assorted fitteds and 3 small Bubblebubs from swap

Total almost 50 nappies

I also have a dz of terry flats as backups but I don't think I'll get to use them until a bit later on because they're quite bulky on my small bub. Becky didn't get to wear them until she's about 3-4 months old.

So....do I need more shopping?

That's a great stash (very envious here!). What about waiting until you know the sex of bubs, then you could buy some special gender specific nappies/covers?
Maybe you should add some more woolies?

I think thats a great looking stash Ying!

What about some nice bamboo prefolds or something to later use as pocket stuffers?

And don't forget that bubs just grow so quickly so tbh I would be saving my pennies for some nappies they will get more 'wear' out of.

If you found terry flats too bulky, how about flanny flats? That is all we used on Gracie, with PUL and wool covers, when she was little.

what about some cotton prefolds Ying? Nice and easy and quick drying especially for those first few weeks when you are still getting in the routine of things.
