It really depends on the baby. Remember early on you go through easily 10 diapers a day, based on that you have a 2 weeks stash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522897 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:40:13 +0000 CarrieLouWho 522897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was 9 lbs and never fit into NB diapers. I gifted the NBs we had to a friend.<br /> Easiest exchange without receipt is Walmart by far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522869 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:27:39 +0000 hilsy85 522869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used NB size for the first. 3 weeks I think. I would keep them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522863 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:23:58 +0000 heffalump 522863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was only in newborn diapers for about 2 weeks, she was born 8 lbs 13 oz. You just never know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522852 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:18:16 +0000 shopaholic 522852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok thanks ladies! So far the OB estimates baby to be born around 6.5 to maybe just over 7lbs at birth. So sounds like we might have a good amount give it take?</p> <p>@tororojo: yes I do have a BRU registry so thanks for the tip to add them! They are different brands so that's a good reminder! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522824 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:59:56 +0000 oliviaoblivia 522824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was over 10 lbs. and didn't fit into the hospital's NB diapers. DH had to go out to get size ones. We gifted our NB stash to a friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522816 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:55:36 +0000 sunny 522816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used NB for 4-5 weeks. We actually ran out, tried size 1 and decided they were still a little too big and had to buy more. Our baby was 6 lb 11 oz when she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522805 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:51:00 +0000 chopsuey 522805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 8+lb babies and only used 1 small pack of nb diapers bc they were gifted to us. Pretty much went straight to 1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522770 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:39:12 +0000 creativemomma15 522770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used NB diapers for a couple weeks. He was 6lbs 1oz when born. We moved DS up quicker because the ones we had had the "cutout" for their umbilical cord but since he was a boy he always leaked out of the top of that kind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522763 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:37:36 +0000 tororojo 522763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have about as many as you; I figure I'll keep them but not open the packages until I need them and try to exchange later if necessary. If you add them to your BRU registry, they won't give you any trouble about returning/exchanging. (can't remember if you have one or not!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522760 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:36:05 +0000 Sweet T 522760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would keep them. Just make sure you open one pack at a time. If you don't need them all, you can exchange them. I had one large pack of NB diapers and ended up buying more. DS was 9lbs 5 oz and was in them for a few weeks. He averaged around 12 diapers a day. I know Walmart will let you exchange without a receipt, not sure about anywhere else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522758 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:35:32 +0000 SleepyMonkey 522758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>depends on how big LO is when he/she is born. you have about a 2 week supply. My LO wore NB size for a couple weeks and was born at 7lbs 9oz. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522751 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:33:36 +0000 autumnlove 522751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed 9-14 diapers a day for the first few weeks! You might need more! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522746 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:32:07 +0000 Bao 522746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had 3 pack of NB diapers too and ended up needing to buy 3-4 more packs. LO was 6lbs 9oz. You could keep them all and see what happens, and exchange them for a bigger size if you do not end up needing them all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hows-my-nb-diapers#post-522737 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:28:37 +0000 shopaholic 522737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got 3 packs of NB diapers totaling 142 NB diapers. Is that too many? I just keep hearing how fast babies grow. Wondering if I should return a pack or two? Also, where is the easiest place to exchange diapers without a receipt? Thanks! </p>
