Default Will this be enough to start with?

I am getting really close to having this baby so I really need to get my act together and work out what I am getting to start her off with.

I am thinking of getting the Kissaluvs size 0 to use from the start (hoping to get one to look at this week so hoping I will still love them after that). I am not sure how many to get though. I was thinking of getting 25-30. Will that be enough?

Then I am thinking of using the xs Thirsties covers with them (once again hoping to get a real life look at one this week), but I have no idea how many covers I will need to get.

My mum is also making us some terry flats to use as well (not that I want to fold at all but will make good back ups I am sure). Not sure how many she is making though but since they won't be our main ones it probably doesn't really matter.

I also plan to get some others (maybe BumGenius 3.0) later on when we have some more money but I really want to start baby off on some really nice cloth from day one so that is my priority atm. Hoping to wash nappies everyday if possible but would like to have enough to not have to if for some reason I can't or don't feel up to it. Will the 25 be enough to do that with a newborn? I am kind of figuring on 10-12 a day maybe. (Been so long since I had a newborn I can't remember how many).

I second the thirsties covers, they are great and roomy. I also second the Kissaluvs, Ive not used them, but I have about 6 or so NB ones to use for our next bub and they are a great sized nappy. Im also making a few snappiable ones (about 20) with sherpa on the outside and a snap down spot just like the K's.

I also have about 20 BBB as they can be used for Lilli and the next bub, as they are OSFM.
