How many nappies a day did your new bub go through? And how long were they in newborn size for?

Thanks!
 
When she was brand new, she was in a new diaper every 1-2 hours. Once her pooping slowed down it was every 2-4 hours depending on when she peed
She was quite skinny so was in size 1 (we never used newborn diapers) until she was about 4.5 months old
 
Id say 10 a day for the first month and he had trouble gaining weight so was in newborn for the first month and a half. Would have only been a few weeks if he gained properly
 
Tyler was huge so he never wore newborn size, I wouldn't buy a ton of those. BUT he went through a TON of diapers, Id say about 10 a day at first..
 
So far I have a 54 pack of baby love newborn and 108 small snugglers.
Have some clothes to return to target n was gonna stock up on diapers but not sure what to get? I have some mcns but didn't plan on introducing them til a month old or so as I know they don't fit newbies the best and I won't be in routine yet with washing etc
 
My LO still goes through about 10 diapers a day (give or take a couple) and she's 4.5 weeks old. She only stayed in newborn size diapers for 3 weeks then went up to size 1 no problem. =)
 
LO slept a lot as he was a preemie and unless he pooped I didn't wake to change. He was changed at least every 3 hours around the clock until he started sleeping longer at night. So that's 8-10 diapers a day in the beginning. He was in newborn until he wad 2+ months.
 
Mine was in size 1 for about 3 weeks then moved to size 2. Just be careful about stocking up on too many since you don't know why will fit. For Zach, he was in huggies size 1 which fitbhim perfectly but pampers in size 2 as huggies don't fit at all!!

He still gets through a lit of nappies...he is a poop monster!!
 
We're going through 8-10 a day, 2 poops a day.

Born 7.11,she started in size 1.
 
So is newborn size 1 ?
Or does size 1 come after newborn ?
 
Like others, I changed Lilly around 10-12x per day at the beginning. She was in newborns until she was 2 months old (born at 6.5 lbs), and was in size 1 diapers till she was 5 months. We change her diaper 6-7x per day now.
 
We go through about 15 diapers a day and she is still in newborns as we tried a size one today and it was huge on her. She is 8 lb 2 ounces and 3w5d.
 
My daughter is still in newborn diapers, but she was 10 weeks early and is only 5 pounds now at 9 weeks old. I change her before every feed plus usually 2-4 more times a day (so about 10-12 times a day).
 
Size 1 for a few weeks I think, we went through about 20 a day. Mainly because it's what my mum told me to do thats why we changed my LO's clothes constantly too if there was any sick on it until my friend put me right!
 
LO got through about 10 nappies a day, less when she went onto formula. She did start off in preemie micro nappies in the beginning though as the newborn ones were miles too big!
 
Mine went into size 1 pretty much straighg away and stayed in them for 4 weeks.
 
In UK, newborn/size 1 is up to around 11 lbs in weight.

My LOs were in that size 1 til at least 3 or even 4 months old.

With my son, he could go through 15-20 nappies a day in the first 6 weeks, he would poop every time he latched on!! I always stocked up in nappies before my LOs arrived and I had around 600 newborn/first size nappies! (and also a further 800 in bigger sizes in the cupboard!)

Also my breastfed baby went through more nappies than my formula fed baby! :flower:
 
I'm really uncertain now!
I'm thinking 3-400 newborn max, then get some 1s

I really wouldn't buy that many nappies. Not only do you not know the size you need you don't know which brand you'll need to get, you really don't get a choice in brand you have to use whatever doesn't leak and doesn't cause a rash For you lo. You'd be better off buying a pack of each brand then putting some money in a pot for when bub is here.

Keelan doesn't bother about being wet so he's changed before every feed, 6/7 times a day and as soon as he poops which is once a day.
