How many diapers?

Question

Hello ladies,  I'm starting to stock up on diapers and I was wondering how much is too much? I don't want to end up with a bunch of unused diapers. It's been a while since my first baby and I don't remember how much they use. I know all babies grow at different rates but anyone have a good estimate? So far I have a a few of size 1, 2, and 3. Thanks in advance!

Answer

I personally plan to get like 3-4 boxes of each. A lot of times if you don't use them, you can return unopened boxes to Walmart or target. I just had a baby last September and I should remember how many I went thru but I don't! Ugh

Answer

I'm starting to stock up as well and am unsure what brand to get. Any suggestions?

Answer

Newborns go through, on average, 10 diapers per day. For my first two we went through a lot of newborn size and size 1. But, I had two small babies, and used premie size for the first couple weeks. My sister had larger babies and used hardly any newborn size diapers and was in size 1 pretty quickly. So you probably won't hurt to at least stock up on some size 1!

Answer

I'm doing gift cards so if a certain brand or size doesn't work I'm not stuck trying to exchange it. Dunno if that idea will help anyone or not.

Answer

I also like Pampers swaddlers for the first couple of months, then I'll go back and forth between Huggies and Pampers, whichever

Answer

So plan to get a lot of diapers from your shower. I'm doing a diaper raffle so I ask for all sizes. I am personally a fan of swaddlers the first few months, then I don't mind Huggies. I've been buying size 1, but soon to buy size two. I read a chart that said newborn - 3 months use about 10-12 diapers a day give or take. So prepare for that. You can usually exchange diapers for a different size at Walmart or something. Good luck!
