We probably could have switched a little earlier but I was trying to use up as many of the Newborn diapers that we'd already opened as I could. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247707 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 08:36:18 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2247707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember how long she was in NB. But when a baby is in between sizes, I think it's just a matter of preference. Do you like the way the size fits? As DD got older, I started to notice a difference in fit: at one point, I preferred a smaller size - I noticed it helped keep things in and we had less blowouts. But as she got older (when she was upright more often), a larger fit worked better for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247706 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 08:36:12 +0000 kjpugs 2247706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: It's so hard to say! Effie has always been bigger and yet wore NB for 6-8 weeks! Worst case, you have some to store for baby #2 (if you so desire! I still have a bunch of 2's because she grew out the day after we bought a new huge pack haha) or you can always try to swap/sell in a local group. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247702 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 08:33:53 +0000 LindsayInNY 2247702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: We're at 4 1/2 weeks and still in them. I'm worried the 88 count from amazon will be a bad idea? But that's basically two weeks worth? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247696 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 08:26:56 +0000 kjpugs 2247696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think like 7 weeks? Honestly, just keep buying small packs at the drugstore because it'll be fitting one day and then NOT AT ALL the next- it's crazy how they move up in a snap at that age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247691 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 08:25:44 +0000 snowjewelz 2247691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say at least for the 1st month. Is it bad I never remember these things :silly: If you're unsure, just buy in the smaller packs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247631 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 07:07:22 +0000 cat620 2247631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe about a week, but we could have just started off with size 1. He was 8 pounds 15 ounces at birth, so that's within the size 1 weight range. I didn't buy any newborn diapers for baby #2 who is due in 2 weeks. I expect him to be a larger baby too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247455 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 20:34:30 +0000 lilteacherbee 2247455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used newborn for 4 weeks. We had to go out and buy more because we hadn't gotten many, knowing that he would be big (he was 8lb 13oz at birth). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247453 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 20:33:12 +0000 travelgirl1 2247453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With #1 we used them for ages... At least a month. We have just switched to size 1 with #2 at exactly one week old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247448 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 20:24:25 +0000 MrsBrewer 2247448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only used newborns for 1 week </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247446 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 20:19:05 +0000 Eko 2247446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>W was 6lb. 14oz. at birth and was in newborns for 3 weeks, until he was about 9 pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247427 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 19:54:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 2247427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C was just over 8 lbs at birth and I still had her in N for at least a month, maybe more. I guess I could have gone up earlier but the 1 looked so big! She wasn't particularly a slow grower or skinny either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247424 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 19:50:32 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2247424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD wore exactly 35 newborn diapers. Size 1s are cheaper and she was a long 8lb baby. She was skinny but needed the length in the diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247377 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 18:45:24 +0000 gingerbebe 2247377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was in NBs until 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247360 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 18:19:00 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2247360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1 never wore them. DD2 used up the pack from the hospital and was in size ones by the end of her first week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247354 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 18:05:34 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2247354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just ran out of our last N diapers for my 8w/o, 10lb baby last wk. We were using both N &amp; 1 disposables (when out &amp; about, but not everyday since I'm also trying to use G diapers), &amp; I feel like I've had more of a problem with the size 1s being too big (&amp; leaking) for her than the N being too small--though both seem to be the case, despite the overlap?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247324 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 17:34:19 +0000 Banana330 2247324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was in N for 6 weeks. She was a slow grower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247318 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 17:28:12 +0000 ldh112 2247318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've returned unopened diapers that were gifted to Walmart and Target without receipts and used the store credit for other diapers I wanted. we are nearing the end of our second box of N diapers and I am debating on switching as well but leaning towards another smaller N package myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247304 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 17:13:10 +0000 LindsayInNY 2247304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ldh112: Maybe I'll return them for a smaller quantity in the meantime. We have some 1s but I haven't tried them on her yet. I think they'll be too big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247303 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 17:12:34 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2247303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I would keep using them if that's the case! Once you get several leaks consider switching. Not sure about ordering a large amount though, I was gifted some newborn diapers so I used them until the leaks got ridiculous they still appeared to fit decent but not as well as you are describing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247300 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 17:08:05 +0000 dolphin 2247300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two weeks. She's 8lbs 13oz now and size 1 fits so much better. I thought the newborn was too tight around the thighs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247297 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 17:06:54 +0000 ldh112 2247297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is still in them at 4.5 weeks and 9 lbs. She's super lanky and weight has crept on slowly as well. I was told by friends I wouldn't really need newborn diapers but did get one pack to have on hand. I am so glad we did! We tried the 1's after we ran out and they were just way too big so we are sticking with Newborn for the time being. It just depends on your baby, really, but it may be a good idea to at least have a package on hand. You can always swap it out if you don't open it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247295 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 17:05:44 +0000 sapphire 2247295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is enough overlap that most don't need newborns for long. I think we had about 4 packs (of 44) and when we ran out we started on size 1s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247290 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 17:00:09 +0000 LindsayInNY 2247290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugsmama: So they're still fitting her - skinny little legs and tape closure things practically touch across her belly. Had first blow out yesterday but that's been it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247288 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 16:56:59 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2247288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weights always overlap on every diaper size! It's all about fit and pee/poo containment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247277 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 16:52:54 +0000 LindsayInNY 2247277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Ah interesting. She just had her first blow out yesterday. I figured she just wasn't changed quickly enough. She's in the high 8 lb range now, I don't know exact weight, with skinny little legs. The tape strips things still touch when the diaper is on her. But maybe the large box I just ordered isn't the best idea... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247268 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 16:41:41 +0000 dc yoga bee 2247268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 weeks, and she was 5lb 14oz at birth. They still fit her well at 4 weeks, but she started having blowouts so that was my cue to move up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-diapers-1#post-2247264 Mon, 27 Jul 2015 16:40:02 +0000 LindsayInNY 2247264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long was your LO in newborn size diapers? I know newborn and 1 overlap weight to some extent. I need to order more but don't know what size to get or how many! </p>
