50 packs of diapers for what I hope you didn't get a bunchhhhh of newborn packs.. I would say atleast 5 an it would depend on quantity in the packs.. because babies grow fast..  wipes you can never go wrong with those...

Great. I figured 24 weeks would be a good time to start. I think it's awesome to stock up. For my first child, we received enough pampers at our baby shower to take us 6-7 months which was a blessing. I know your efforts will be well worth it!

12 size 3
10 size 4

I do this with all my kids, while others spend over a thousand on diapers a year. I probably spend less then 300 dollars for the whole year..and my last daughter I had like 10 boxes of diapers that I passed to a pregnant lady that needed help..

What baby makes it to a size five or six? My two yr old wears pullups now but when I run out between trips to the store I have emergency diapers and at two she is still fitting.g properly in a size three. I had a pack of fours and they swallowed her up so much they leaked. I have never used a diaper that big for a child, they stop using diapers in the second yr sometime.

I have stocked up.  From size1 to size 5. Got 2 newborn from other people. I have at least a six month or more supply of hands soap, paper towel, tissue, hair shampoo and conditioner, laundry soap, as well as food items. Started around 22 weeks i believe.

I look in Sunday paper inserts and find if they have deals worth me purchasing. If its one insert, i order multiples online. Wholecouponinserts or sundaycouponinsert. If multiple insets are in the paper and all are useful, i purchased the newspaper.  Next find the store with the best sale and use it. I know we don't double coupon in California so to maximize saving i find the cheapest prices before using coupons.

Babies are different. My daughter was pity trained before two so she didn't make it past size 4. Forever, my nephews were chunky so i bought close to this size  for them, size 5 are usually chunky babies.

Is the couponing worth it? With target diapers I went through a big box or so a month... it ended up being 20 bucks or so a month. At 6 diapers a day, .14 cents a diaper, .84 a day... so maybe $25 a month... so does the couponing just bring the name brand down to up and up price?

Wow that's great. Hope I'm not sounding rude because that's not what I'm trying to come off doing, but do you have different brands of diapers? 1 brand may work better than the other. Just saying

My son wears size 5. He isn't quite 2 yet but tall for his age and they fit better than size 4. And all children are different. Just because none of your kids got to a size 5 doesn't make that true of all kids.

With my first baby, my friends threw me a baby shower with a diaper raffle. It was the smartest ides because I didn't have to buy diapers for a long time! It's smart to stock up. I have extra 5s left over from my first son that I've been using for my second. Its awesome when you don't have to go out and buy diapers!

And I wouldn't necessarily say they're always for chunky babies. My son who is in 5s now is only in the 15th percentile for weight. It's just about the fit. And although he could probably still wear 4s, we buy 5s because they don't leak. He's been my most active baby so far;)

Couponing is worth it.  I gave huggies, pampers, luvs, and others bought me parents choice.

:) I'm not including toddlers too much when i say chunky. I know babies under 1 who needed extra room.
