I'm very new to CD and right now I have 2 fuzzibunz AIO, 2 grovia and a flipp and about 10 soakers and some fleece liners. I don't stuff any of the pockets so that I can get more use out of the fuzzibunzs but I'm washing all of them every night and I just feel that they are going to wear out quick. What is a good amount of CD to have?

It all depends on the baby. How many wet diapers do you have in an average day? Dirty diapers? Does he/she wake up to eat overnight or sleep through? How long does your wash routine take and how many diapers do you go through while washing? How frequently do you want to wash?
I would suggest you have enough for a day and a half of wet and dirty diapers plus how ever many you need while washing. That way you would be washing about every 2nd day or so. The older the baby the less diapers you should need.
I have 3 dozen prefolds, 7 covers, 4 AIO's and a 4 month old who still nurses during the night. He has 1-2 super duty dirty diapers per day that put the cover out of commission. I wash 3=4 times a week, but never panic that all the diapers are in the laundry.
