What nappies to complete starter stash?

[lentilpot]

I am due with a baby boy in July. We are borrowing muslins, some bumbles and newborn size wraps for the early days, but I'm trying to get my next stage stash sorted while I'm still earning (and have the time to stalk good deals!).

Here's what I have so far:

10 x Little Lamb OSFA pockets (each with two bamboo inserts)
3 x Bambinex teddies size 1
4 x Bumbles (with poppers) (planning to use these overnight)

I'm still planning to buy 2 Motherease rikki wraps and two Motherease airflow wraps in size medium to go with the teddies/bumbles. I'll also get some nappy nippas to help get the bumbles tight enough.

I'd like to get a few more nappies of different types just to have some variety and in case we don't get on with the above. Any ideas on what would be good to get?

We have limited drying space in winter and don't want to use the tumble dryer too much. We live in a very hard water area. I'm average height but dh is really really tall.

Extra question - as the bamboo inserts in the pockets will probably be slow drying, should I get some extras? I was thinking maybe 6 prefolds, any ideas on size? Or should I just get microfibre inserts?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I started with a pack from the council. It contained most of the nappies on sale. It was really helpful. We quickly figured out what suited us and what fitted DD. Is there anything like that in your area?

Sadly not stargirl, that would be ideal! I'm trying to put my own trial pack of sorts together!

That's a shame. Have you filled The Nappy Lady's advice form? It's free and her advice is top notch. She even gives you a discount!

Oh yeah, I got the teddies and bumbles on her recommendation. She also suggested blueberry one size deluxes and tots bots bamboozle stretchies. I might get a couple of each with next month's pay
