24-36 per child.
 

- 4-8 covers per child in Newborn or Small size
- 4-5 covers in Medium size
- 3-4 covers in Large size
 

Twice per week if you have 3 dozen diapers.
A new baby will use between 8-12 diapers per day, so you will need to count on at least that many. Later on as a child sleeps longer etc., and food and/or formula gets added to their diet, frequency of diaper changes diminishes.

NO! to all questions, although as a parent you may wish to pre-soak soiled diapers, but if you are a nursing Mom, stains will wash out of diapers usually without pre-soaking. Adding a non-chlorine bleach alternative (Hydrox) to the wash will not only whiten but also disinfect the diapers.

Whatever detergent you currently use on your clothes -- just a smaller amount.

NO! Diapers and Covers should be washed in a separate load.

Most new Moms appreciate a breast pump during the first week or two after the baby arrives to give you (the Mom) some relief. New babies generally fall asleep before they empty a breast so to give some relief, moms express milk either manually or with the help of a Breast Pump.

Once your baby has established a nursing routine (most on demand!) at about 3-4 weeks, it is the consensus of most of the Moms who frequent our store, to introduce one bottle per day of breast milk, preferrably at the same time everyday (9:00 p.m. feeding) so Dad, or Grandma, or Grandpa, or sister, or brother etc. has a chance to feed the baby while you (Mom) gets some rest. If you consistently give one bottle per day to your infant, going back to work will not be as stressful for either you or your baby as they will be comfortable taking the bottle.

If you are lucky enough to be able to stay home with your baby, you may choose not to introduce a bottle to your baby and therefore not need a Breast Pump.

This is the question!

I like to recommend a Dry Diaper Pail because I guess I am basically lazy. But I also know that whether you pre-soak or not, stains should come out of the diapers, and with a good sealed diaper pail odours should be contained.

Wet Pail: Fill pail 1/2 with water and add only 1 of the following:

Borax, Amaze, White Vinegar

When the pail is full, take to washing machine and tip everything inside. Spin extra moisture out of diaper and start regular washing cycle.

DO NOT pre soak diaper covers or all-in-one diapers before washing.

A: Take diaper off baby.
B: When pail is full, open and start washing machine.
C: Add 1/8 cup of enzyme free detergent to the load.
D: Dump diapers into machine (use hot water wash and rinse).
E: Put in dryer or hang up to dry.
