Diapers? Posted: 04-10-06 17:56pm
I tried looking this up at wal-mart.Com
but they don't list disposable diapers.
How much do diapers generally go for?
Specifically pampers, but any brand will
do. And how many do you get in a package
for the price?
Thanks in advance! Just trying to do some
budget planning.

I know huggies run about $10-$12 per pack
and they start out with 40 in the pack.
The price stays the same but as your baby
gets bigger the less diapers come in a
pack, check out cosco or sams club if you
can, it's a great item to buy in bulk.

this is an excellent idea to plan ahead.
Go to pampers.Com, huggies.Com, etc and
get on their mailing list for coupons!
Also do the same with formula.
When I was pregnant, I bought diapers
every payday so I was pretty stocked up by
the time baby came. I figured it would be
one less thing to buy when she got here.
I havent had to buy diapers cuz I got sooo
many at my shower...
But from costco I think it was.. I got a
huge box diapers with 248 in it.. Half
size ones and half size 2's.. N ot sure
how much they are but im sure it works out
cheaper.
Also, im going with parents choice formula
and diapers (wal-mart brand) cuz they work
just as good and are cheaper... But get
on the mailing list it is a good idea, u
get tons of free samples

Have you considered a diaper service with
cloth diapers? Most likely it will cost
you less or about the same as
paper/plastic/chemicals on the baby's
behind, and it's way better for the baby
and the environment.
Diaper service is really nice-they bring
you your diapers once a week, and pick up
the dirties that you just put in a diaper
pantry with a plastic bag inside. You
don't have to rinse them or anything, and
the diapers are very clean, soft, and much
better for baby's skin.
Diaper rashes are almost nonexistent if
you also breastfeed instead of formula.
And breastfeeding does a bunch of good
things-1) it feeds your baby exactly what
is needed, changing over time, and
including any immunities that you have, 2)
it makes the two of you very close and
cuddly-even helping with your hormonal
recovery from the birth, 3) it's a whole
lot less stressful for those middle of the
night feedings-instead of having a
screaming baby while you mess with a
bottle and warm it, etc, you plop your
breast in baby's mouth and go back to
sleep. Takes awhile to get the hang of
it-maybe a couple of weeks-but it's sooooo
worth it!
Blessings,

My mother in law is set to give birth
anyday but at her last two baby showers I
made her diaper cakes. The diapers at
walmart were all between $7 - $12. I
ended up buying pamper's swaddlers and
those were nearly $11 with tax for a
package of 48.
Also, I didn't buy her any of the smallest
sized diapers because I figured they were
for premature babies but should I break
down and get one package of the smaller
sized diapers just in case?
Peace,
jenn

Well as it turns out my fiance can get
diapers through his work (he works at a
hospital). They're pampers brand and
it'll be $20 for a case of 240. That
sounds like a bargain, I think. He just
showed me a list of things he can get and
it looks like I can get everything the
baby will need except formula.
