I think we were in newborns for a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1495622 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 05:11:19 +0000 delight 1495622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through 400 NB, 500 size 1s and 650 size 2 diapers. I'm a bit wonky about recording everything. She was 7,1 at birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1495608 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 03:15:04 +0000 Ash 1495608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never used newborn - he went straight into 1s. He's 3 months old and in size 3s.<br /> Sooooo, no newborn and he was in 1s for the first month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1495592 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 02:15:27 +0000 sarahbs 1495592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a box of 128 newborn pampers and half a box of Huggies (not sure how many) before switching to cloth at one month. My son was 8lbs at birth and is now 9 lb 5 oz. We have a small pack of size 1's for travel and have used a few of those too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1495334 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:33:48 +0000 MrsF 1495334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd get a big pack of 1s and a small pack of newborn. We used NB for months with my (5 lb) baby but I know that some people never need them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1495209 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 19:27:31 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1495209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only used the NB that the hospital sent home with us. Then we used 1s for about 6 weeks (maybe 4 big boxes?) and went to 2s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1495094 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:40:28 +0000 Dandelion 1495094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought a pack each of NB and 1's, and I plan on seeing which size would be better once LO gets here. Then I'll get on Amazon and order the size I need. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1495086 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:34:53 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1495086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used NB for probably 4-5 weeks. At that point we moved to size 1s and that's also when she fit into BG 4.0s (smallest rise/snaps). At almost 4.5 months were just switching over to size 2s (and we gave up CDing, oops). </p> <p>Not much advice but get a big pack of each, that way you're prepared, and worst case you can return the NB for 1s! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1494805 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:59:12 +0000 Mrs. M 1494805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We transitioned to cloth diapers around the 9th week. LO was long and skinny and fit into newborn diapers until shortly before that time. I don't remember how many disposables we went through! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1494723 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:19:26 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1494723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We skipped newborns after the ones the hospital provided didn't fit. I'd get one big box of ones, see how big your baby is and then get what you need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1494693 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:04:33 +0000 avivoca 1494693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>H wore NB size diapers for four weeks and moved up to size one at one month. She's been in size two diapers since she was 2 months old. We cloth diaper during the day, so a box of diapers lasts us a long time. I'd probably buy a box of NB (not the value box), and a box of size 1 diapers just to have on hand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1494692 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:03:29 +0000 MrsH 1494692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't use NB at all. They had size ones in the hospital and that is what we started with. We have gone through probably 500 size ones so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1494690 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:03:13 +0000 mrsmate 1494690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are halfway thru out 2nd size 1 diaper bundle from honest. DD2 is 10wks and weighs 12.5lbs. Our next bundle wil be size 2. We are also transitioning to p/t CDing. Her legs were too skinny before. Hope that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1494688 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:02:35 +0000 lilteacherbee 1494688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used newborn diapers for the first month. We had to get more than what we had because we assumed he wouldn't be in them long (he was almost 9 lbs at birth, but fairly short). He's 4 months old today and still in size 1s, but we're probably going to be moving to size 2 soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1494685 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 15:01:43 +0000 septca 1494685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would buy one box of size 1 and see how big your baby is before buying more (it's super easy to have your husband or visiting friend/relative run to Target or to order on amazon once the baby is here). The hospital will provide you with a bunch of NB diapers (take the extras home). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1494679 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:59:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 1494679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't cloth diaper, but just in terms of sizing, C was in newborn for at least a month, but I think that's a little unusual. I'd buy one pack of each, like the 96 count or whatever, and then reevaluate. In the really early days we were going through like 10 diapers a day at least (but we also had some user error, peeing on the changing table, etc!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-newbornsize-1-diapers-should-i-buy#post-1494668 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 14:56:51 +0000 BadgerMom 1494668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're probably going to cloth diaper at least part time using one-size diapers, but we plan on using disposables until the little dude fits into the cloth.</p> <p>How many disposables and what sizes (newborn? 1? 2?) will I need before the transition to cloth is likely to occur?</p> <p>I know every baby is different, but as a FTM, I have no clue, so a ballpark would be great! </p>
