    Posted: 15 June 2010 at 5:45pm

Ok so I haven't counted cos I'm too embarrassed  but we must have in the region of 80 nappies or so! And at least 20 covers!  Not all of them fit Clodagh anymore so I feel somewhat justified in keeping them now we have number 2 on the way, and there's a few Nature baby toddler and Happy heinys sz L that are too big...but she'll grow into lol.

Is that too many though? I'm sure we could get away with less but DF and I seem to have a nappy habit lol and its quite scary how low we seem to run if we have a couple of days of bad weather and can't do the washing!

Anyone else care to admit their addiction?

I know!!!  Quite a few are small/newborn size and the rest kind of came with bundles of nappies on TM. It's really useful having so many covers cos I guess we wash them quite a bit?

If I count all the small nappies and larges that we don't use, I probably have close to 100.....

I have......lets just say I have quite a few. But no way am I counting all the different sizes together! If I just think about how many smalls I have, then how many mediums it doesn't seem nearly so over the top.

Wow, I can't believe how many nappies you guys have!

I have 15 one size fits all, and five med ittis (have fitted DS for a year now)That's it and I have no plans to ever get more except if we end up with two in nappies. I only wash them ever third day, but we do have a great fire that dries them overnight if need be.

Crikey, if you guys are sometimes running low, can I just ask how many nappies a day your child uses? We don't use that many as DS spends most of his up time with a bare bottom.

Gee, I thought we had a few!!

Oh well, at least your DF shares your addiction, my DH just sighs when I talk about getting more, or just plain denies me when we have no money!

I started out nice and modest - just 15 fuzzi bunz but have since caught the adding addiction - 5 more FB and now 5 wool ecobubs and now everyone keeps going on about these pop-in dream dries which I better just sample too....

*sigh*

I just bought *cough* 11 *cough* more nappies today off TM...but in fairness I got a BARGAIN and they're for the newborn so I think I'll do what a few of you do and just count the sizes seperately cos then it sounds better lol.  So Clodagh only actually has about hmmmmm 25 that fit her at the moment

I have ummm 18? that includes three ecobub wool nappies for night, and a small peapod that at 11months DD still fits Oh wait I have 17 Fuzzi smalls in storage that DD would probably fit again now that she's moving. She grew out of them round her thighs but she probably would fit them now that she's walking

Yes I am going to use MCNs but I want to try the hire kit before committing to a particular type or brand.

That's why I've got a lot of sposies for the first couple of weeks before the kit arrives.

A hire kit is a good idea...although we just bought a whole pile of differnt types off TM and figured out from them what worked well for us and Clodagh. We then sold what didn't work and pretty much got our money back! So it depends heaps on bubba's shape....think we were lucky cos chubba bubbas are easier to fit I reckon

I'm jealous of all your big stashes!

I've got 15 ittis +5 extra inserts,
a totsbot,
a bitti boo,
a pop in,
a nudey rudey,
a pea pod,
a bummis cover + fitted+ prefold.

Think that's it so 21 + extra inserts.   I think I want to get a couple more covers now and I could do with another days worth of nappies as I've been using the drier a lot recently as they're just not drying fast enough. I might have to have a look at TM...

Don't do it Chelle...don't go on TM, you'll never escape... lol

Seriously, I don't think it matters if you have too many, esp in winter. The way we work it, the nappy stacker is generally  half full, one lot is in the wash or drying and the other is in the nappy bucket waiting to be washed . Plus during times like this when bubba is sick, one needs a few more nappies IYKWIM!
