How many maxi pads for postpartum?

Question

I know the bleeding gets lighter over time and that it can last for a couple of months -- but I'm not sure how many overnight maxi pads (the super absorbent ones i'll use right after giving birth) I need?

So far I bought 3 packs. I poured some aloe vera on about 30 of them and stored them in the freezer.

Answer

I do one thicker pad package. One long and heavy. One regular and that's it.

Answer

This is number 4 for me. I bought one pack of the overnight, one pack of the day super long ones and one pack of regular. To me I won't use the overnights ones during the day.

Answer

I bled for almost 5 weeks but I had a c-section
