Are you stockpiling!? (Diapers, wipes, creams, etc.)

Question

Hello ladies! I am interested to know how many of you are stockpiling diapers, wipes, creams, washes, lotions, washcloths, blankets etc! And photos if you have them! I’m looking at those diaper charts, but what else are you stocking up on and how many of each item? When did you start buying?

Thanks ladies!

Answer

I have 4 kids. I stockpiled with my first. Never again. It was stupid. Each of my kids needed different brands, went through different sizes at different rates etc. Yes you can return them, but it's a PAIN to carry bulky boxes of diapers into the store with a baby. With the convenience of online ordering, I just buy as I need. And, I'd rather have to run to the store to buy something or send my husband than to run to the store to return a bunch of stuff. 
My 4th baby I literally had: 1 box of Ns. 1 box of 1s. 1 bottle of Eucerin baby wash. Wipes. 1 tube of butt paste. That was it.

Answer

I started researching and buying at 6 months. I’m also a crazy couponer. I have stock of Wipes, various size and brands of diapers, baby wash/shampoo, medical supplies, lotion, Baby laundry detergent, etc. I’ve also bought items on clearance that baby can play with or wear at 6-24 months. I take advantage of all the great deals when I can, nothing wrong with being proactive. Seeing how this is my third baby- I pretty much know everything I’ll need or want.

Answer

It’s important to buy different brands of diapers and wipes. Baby can react to things a certain way. I bought small boxes of every brand. My son can only use pampers diapers and wipes, and he can use luvs. And we only use dove because everything gives him a rash.

Answer

Eh 🤷🏻‍♀️ I already have a son in diapers so every time I go to buy him a pack I just buy an extra pack of a smaller size and put it in the new baby’s room.

Answer

We’re using cloth diapers, so technically we’re stocked forever lol. Not stockpiling anything else yet. Haven’t decided f we’re using cloth wipes or not. Probably will give in for the environment

Answer

It’s fine . But not to many newborn or baby will be smaller . My son was out of them in a week born at 8 lbs 14 oz and into size 2 by a month and a half . So I had a box. Of size ones to get rid of plus an extra 100 on top of that so it was a waste for me . Wipes I always have and still stock pile my baby doesn’t have allergies but some are sensitive  so get a few brands ! Baby laundry soap I love ! I got 3 bottles when I was pregnant and just had to buy one he’s 14 weeks . ( he has reflux so we go through a lot !)

Answer

I haven't yet but plan to I also use coupons and purchased Naty, Seventh Generation, type diapers and wipes also organic toiletries because I know my kids will have execma I buy size 1&2

Answer

We did a diaper raffle at our shower, so in theory we have all the newborn and size 1 diapers I will need, plus quite a few sizes 2, 3, and 4. But, since babies don’t always like a certain brand I went and bought two small packs of newborn diapers to try out before I open the big economy size packs. I think in total we have maybe 1600 diapers. I wouldn’t have stock piled diapers myself.
We also have two economy size packages of wipes (so about 1500), and a few tubes of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste, mostly so we can have them easily accessible in different spots (changing table, near the bassinet, and in the diaper bag).

Answer

I wouldn’t buy a bunch of newborn unless your baby is predicted to be small. We just bought two small packs and then moved on to 1s because he was peeing out of NB. 
Sam’s club has awesome deals on diapers but we couldn’t find many in 1 or 2s so we bought a big box of 3s and there were over 300 in it. 
We just check the unit price on the tags to make sure it’s a good deal compared to the smaller boxes. A lot of times they have instant savings on them.
