This is the good question and there is no fix answer. The number of diapers you need depends on the age of your baby and how often you plan to wash diapers. You will need fewer diapers in each size as you baby grows. Basically, I will advise people to buy 10 - 12pcs if you want to fully using cloth diapers for your baby.
Some styles of diapers will need changing a bit less often. For instance, pocket diapers have a moisture resistant barrier between the baby and the absorbent insert. This means you can change baby less often unless the diaper is dirty so you will likely use fewer diapers.
If you have a heavy wetter your baby will be on the high end of the number shown. You can extend the absorbency of diapers by using extra inserts. For myself, I used 2-3 inserts for my daughter in the night time.
If you can't afford to invest in a lot of diapers all at once, you can start with one day's worth of diapers and then add more the next time you get paid. Other frugal diapering options include using Regular size prefolds for infants by folding them down to fit. They will be a bit bulkier, but you'll buy fewer diapers over time.
You will want to get a few extra diapers to have on hand while you are washing diapers. Nothing is worse than having a sick baby and no clean diapers.
