Welcome, Ms Sunny, First names can be used so we know who we are talking to, Sorry you have been unwell. There is no better place or space you can be on, all the ladies on here are marvelious and caring, and will answer any question you need to know about. As for Mohair, depending on how thick and what size head, it  is better to be on the safe side and buy a little more than you need. It will always come in handy. You can also dye it for the next baby if you don't want to give it the same colour. ( Welcome to the forum )June M from Oz

MsSunny. Here's my take on the mohair. It all depends on what size head you root, what quality the mohair is, and how thickly you root. The quality really matters. I got a 1 oz. pack of cheap standard mohair, and had none left over after thickly rooting a 22" Berenguer. However, I had a lot of fuzzy, matted, short pieces left that were totally unusable. I would guess that that messed up part consisted of at least half of the mohair. So if you got good mohair where you can use every little bit (and such mohair does exist), you're fine with half an ounce no matter what size your baby is or even if you root quite thickly. June, you'll probably use all the mohair you got, as it's fairly low quality, and you'll probably end up with a lot of waste like I did. Sorry. MsSunny, I hope this info is helpful. If it's good hair, don't buy any more unless you run out (highly unlikely).

HI Sonya and welcome!

Quality hair is the biggest and most important factor you invest in (been there and done that)! Reading all the posts there is nothing that I would want to add to the great advice they have given you except this. Depending on the length that you want and the length that you have. Lets say it is 6 or 7 inches long. I cut my hair in half for longer hair and in thirds for shorter hair. Even in 3rds rooting from the cut end gives you length. So that I don't have the flyaway look and I know how long I want it I trim it as I go. And you can get several wispy babies heads from this. Heavier rooting one to two heads.
