Diapers!!!!! Posted: 01-25-05 11:19am


Ok-so I want to start stocking up on diapers. So I need soem help 1. Which are the best ones 2. People tell me not to buy too many newborn as they will grow out of them quickly. So should I buy like 1 or 2 packs of newborn and then go for the "bigge" ones.

I always bought two packs of newborns (pampers) becuase they have the imbiblical cord part. Then I would buy stage 1 in luvs or huggies my child stayed in those for like 2 months then they went to stage 2

Hmmm I never thought of stocking up. How many diapers does a newborn baby go through roughly each day? Does it depend on how pften they feed? Another thing that I was wondering, while the subject is here. How many "smelly" diapers can I be expected to change each day?

Im really not looking forward to the diaper changing. Is it true that your own childs mess never smells as bad as someone elses child? Or is it just u love your baby so much, you dont care?

yeah.. My sister had bought huggies at first... But she hated them. They would clump when wet and wouldn't stick. She said pampers were the best.

I was thinking about stocking up too..... I wonder if there's somewhere that tells you how many to buy...

would you buy 150 of the newborn? I would hate to buy too much and not use them..... But my sister is pregnant too... I could just give her what I have left if I bought too much. But would it be 150 with the hole for the umbilicord?

I guess since 2 weeks isn't that long and it's not a huge deal if the cord falls off but we're still using them...

Both of my daughters were in newborn diapers for months. They are tiny. If you and/or your man are tiny, baby might be too. Look around for good deals. Having two in diapers, I usually buy generic unless they are on sale or I have coupons. I just got mega packs of pampers for $7 at the grocery store (i bought 7 packs...Like 400 diapers lol). I stock up when there's a good deal. Really you and your baby are going to find out which diapers you prefer. I got newborn diapers at babier r us, 40 for $10. And I would just fold the diaper under to keep it off the belly button.

I would definitly buy 150 diapers!!!They go so fast and it also does depend on how big or small ur baby is newborn diapers only go up to 10 lbs. My son was 9 lbs. And he wore them for prob. 6 weeks so I know they hold more then 10!!
