A lot of people never use the newborn diapers at all. You'll find out that when she gets closer to the top pound limit (10 lbs with newborn diapers, 14 lbs with size 1 diapers, etc), she'll start to leak out the sides. My daughter HATED a snug diaper!

Newborn diapers are more expensive for less amount of diapers. So it isn't always a smart thing to buy them (I am not smart!).

Are you getting a bazillion and 12 coupons for diapers and formula in the mail yet? You should sign up at the website of whatever diaper you use - and also the formula you use. They send tons of coupons. Everyone can use some coupons!

I can't remember exactly but I think brayden was in them for about 1-2 months.

It is crazy how the different sizes cover the same weight. Brayden is in 3's and they are 16-28 lbs but the 2's were 12-18lbs so in that little gap were they were either would have worked for his weight we used 2's because more came in the box! Definately look at all the sizes, count, and price before buying to see whats the best deal!!

And man if you aren't gettin those coupons yet let me send ya mine..I think I got a zillion just in the past week. The help alot but sometimes I feel like since I have the coupon I might as well use it even if I don't really need the stuff... hehe I went 'coupon shopping' today, I had a coupon for everything I bought! It made me feel kinda cheap but o well!

LOL I've been getting so many coupons in the mail for diapers and stuff! I love it. I've even gotten 4 things of formula in the mail even though I don't use it. I might keep it just in case or give it to a daycare that my friend works at.

or you could buy generic formula. we bought the generic enfamil and it was exactly the same but way cheaper. at most we were spending $30 a month, and that was with no assistance or coupons.

Similac is not generic. Similac is a name-brand.

Generic means the store brands, or off-brands. Like when you go to buy Pantene shampoo or Neutrogena face wash at walmart, and there's a similar bottle right next to made by equate that sells a very similar product at half the price.

Holy cow, 30 bucks?! 1 can of similac advanced with iron up here is 25 bucks a can and I'm guessing you need about 3-4 cans a month with a newborn? thats a ton of money! What type did you use for that cheap??? I'm going to try to breastfeed but I want to know a lot about formula in case breastfeeding dosnt work out. I'm due in 2 weeks but Dr. says anyday now.
