Day Nappies: Add in an extra 6 day nappies per day to allow a little breathing space between main wash cycles.

Night Nappies: Absorbent night nappies can take longer to dry so you might need an extra 1 or 2 especially if you live in a cold climate or don't have a drier.

Cloth Wipes: Usually you should only need 1 cloth wipe per change. We have allowed a few extra wipes for those especially messy change times.

Wet Bags: The recommended quantity allows for dry time between washing so the quantity you need will depend on how often you leave the house! Wet bags are so versatile so an extra 1 or two will come in handy for swimmers, snacks or double wet-bagging those especially nasty smelling poos!

Change Mats: The recommended quantity allows for dry time between washing but this will really depend on how messy bub's nappy changes are!
