How much diapers does a Newborn go threw?

[dremarie13]

For my baby shower i received literally over 960 newborn diapers! Im a FTM and I dont know if im going to have alot of newborn diapers leftover?

U tend to change ur baby with every feed when they r newborn so every 3/4 hours day & night for at least 8 weeks (8x7=56) they do need changing in between that time aswell as they have very runny poo lol also check the weight on the box make sure u use the lowest weight ones 1st as newborn nappies have a few diff weights just to confuse us! Lol ...my daughter was 7lb 2 oz & was in new born for 8 weeks so id say ur gunna use around 500 in that 8 weeks but ur baby may b small! Its really herd to no until hes here
..if u cam return after baby is born do that as u just never no!

Thank you all so very helpful! I was starting to think what a waste of money :( ha

Wow thats alot! But it really depends on your baby. My son grew out of his newborn diapers after a month, he grew fast. Within that month id say he went through 300 diapers

I'm waiting until I have my son and see how big he is to buy diapers. With my daughter she was 8 lbs 11 oz @ birth and grew quickly only fit into newborn's for about two weeks. So, I would only open one pack at a time and return/exchange the rest. Good luck.

My son used around 200 newborn diapers. Walmart will put em on a gift card and you can buy what size you need when you need em.

That's a lot of newborn size. Don't open them all. Wal Mart is really good about letting you exchange diapers without a receipt.

With both of my kids they were only in newborn diapers for a week 10 days and they usually go through 10-12 diapers in 24 hours. And my second born was in size 1  from 2 weeks till 2 months. So it depends on your baby , the weight, the length, so if the box is unopened you can return it anywhere and ask for a different size.

I am ftm postpartum 3months and we go through about two boxes for every size. My son was so small i had to buy a small pack of preemie. Then moved him to newborn and so on. Yeah thats way too many newborn i would go and exchange some of the sizes

From what I understand babies spend very little time in newborn clothes or diapers, if they ever fit to begin with. Most newborn sizing only goes to about 8 or 10 pounds. Maybe a couple weeks before moving to size 1. I exchanged some of my diapers already for larger sizes (1 and 2.) I had no gift receipts but they did have store stickers so I knew where they came from. Just don't open them. Get receipts if you can. Worst case scenario you can sell them or exchange them with other moms.

Just don't open them. My sister in law went and bought a whole bunch of the size 1 packs, opened them to put them away all nice and neat, and then it turned out my niece was allergic to them. So I got a whole lot of diapers lol. But usually, if they're unopened you can take them and exchange them for larger sizes.

Whoa thats a ton !lol i have more 1s than newborn. But like they said you can exchange them if you dont need them

[dremarie13]

Yea i didn't get no gift receipt for any

Probably but you may be able to exchange them for larger sizes especially if you've got gift receipt
