If you're looking to try cloth and want to try different diaper options without investing a bunch of money check out the Cloth Option! It's a non profit that sends out loaner cloth diapers.
really depends how often you want to do laundry. we have 21 esembly inners, and started with 8 pockets (used as covers). ended up with maybe 12-15 pockets now. i usually use all 21 diapers and do disposable while doing diaper laundry if we have disposables on hand. if not, then i’ll wait until we’re down to 3-4 diapers left to do diaper laundry. for liners, i have 24 & 8 overnighters. i wash roughly about every 3-4 days. we change his diaper every 2 hours.
I go through 10-15 diapers with my 1 year old girl, I use trifolds for inserts and pad fold them for extra absorbency. I have roughly 35 diapers and 40-45 inserts, I wash every other day. Feel free to reach out with any questions🫶🏼
