That's what we plan on doing with any diapers we don't use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlersnew-baby#post-144908 Wed, 02 May 2012 12:50:27 +0000 looch 144908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in Europe too and we have the different sizing, the smaller packages and the insanely high prices too! What we did was use size 2 from birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlersnew-baby#post-144712 Wed, 02 May 2012 10:17:21 +0000 LivsMama 144712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Liv was 7lb 10oz and wore the Swaddlers newborns for like a month before she outgrew them. The 1s fit her, but they were really big until she was like 2 weeks old. The tabs overlapped </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlersnew-baby#post-144710 Wed, 02 May 2012 10:16:10 +0000 lavender 144710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD weighed 6.9 pounds when she was discharged and was in newborn diapers for the first 3 weeks. In that time we went through 150ish diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlersnew-baby#post-144705 Wed, 02 May 2012 10:05:22 +0000 purrpletulips 144705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember how long LO wore newborn size but I think it was until about 2 weeks when the cord stump fell off and we ran out and switched to size 1 (she was 8lb 0.07oz at birth). How many you go through in a day depends upon how much LO minds being wet. Our LO HATED being wet as a newbie and so we changed her at the first sign of wetness (usually based on the indicator line the swaddlers have). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlersnew-baby#post-144693 Wed, 02 May 2012 09:53:08 +0000 Honeybee 144693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was 7 lbs, 6 oz at birth and he is still in Newborn size at almost 6 weeks. We'll probably switch over to size 1 in the next week, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlersnew-baby#post-144689 Wed, 02 May 2012 09:45:13 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 144689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Little Jumper was born 7lbs 8oz, and was in NB diapers for at least the first four weeks. She was in size 1 until two months ago. She wears size 2 now.</p> <p>LJ is 14lbs 8oz at 6.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlersnew-baby#post-144686 Wed, 02 May 2012 09:41:48 +0000 SugarplumsMom 144686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow, I had no idea! I have 88 size N (equivalent), I specifically bought the smaller pack just in case the baby outgrows them! Lol! Now I think I should buy more.</p> <p>I do have 124 of the size 1 (equivalent) but guess those I'll have time to use regardless. Yeh, I think I should buy more of the newborn sizes! I don't want to wait last minute and buy locally since it costs 2-3 times more at the stores here~! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlersnew-baby#post-144637 Wed, 02 May 2012 09:04:29 +0000 heffalump 144637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo was born 8 lbs 13 oz and was in newborn diapers for 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlersnew-baby#post-144608 Wed, 02 May 2012 08:45:23 +0000 Sweet T 144608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS weighed 9lbs 5oz at birth (went home at a little over 8lbs) and wore the newborn size for about 3 weeks. Even after he passed the 10lb mark, the size 1 swaddlers were too big &amp; leaked. That might be something to consider. How many you will use really depends on your baby. My LO went through 12-14 diapers a day on average. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlersnew-baby#post-144601 Wed, 02 May 2012 08:42:21 +0000 BananaPancakes 144601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby is 15 days old, weighed in at 6lbs 9 oz at birth, and will probably wear size N for a while. We've gone through more than 100 diapers in the past 2 weeks. They say expect anywhere from 8-12 diapers a day for a while. But it will really depend on how big your baby is to begin with. A couple of friends have had large babies (9lbs or bigger) who only wore newborn sizing for a couple of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlersnew-baby#post-144590 Wed, 02 May 2012 08:32:14 +0000 Mrsbells 144590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think every child is different, depends on their birth weight and then how fast the grow. My baby is 11 days old and stil wearing the N size, we bought a pack of 96 but that only lasted about a week so we are now on our second pack </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlersnew-baby#post-144579 Wed, 02 May 2012 08:27:18 +0000 SugarplumsMom 144579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What size diapers did your newborn wear and how many (for the first month)? I live in Europe and they offer Pampers New Baby as opposed to Swaddlers (although it might be the same) but the sizing is different.</p> <p><u>New Baby sizing:</u><br /> Size 1: 2 - 5 kg / 5 - 11 lbs<br /> Size 2: 3 - 6 kg / 7 - 14 lbs<br /> Size 3: 4 - 7 kg / 9 - 15 lbs</p> <p><u>Swaddlers sizing:</u><br /> Size XS: up to 2 kg / up to 4 lbs<br /> Size Preemie: up to 3 kg / up to 6 lbs<br /> Size N: up to 5 kg / up to 10 lbs<br /> Size 1: 4 - 6 kg / 8 - 14 lbs<br /> Size 2: 5 - 8 kg / 12 - 18 lbs<br /> Size 2-3: 6 - 10 kg / 14 - 22 lbs<br /> Size 3: 7 - 13 kg / 16 - 28 lbs</p> <p>I'm trying to figure out if I have enough for the first month. I know the sizing depends on baby's initial weight and growth. How many diapers did your LO go through each day?</p> <p>We can buy them at the local store but it's just soooo much cheaper online so I'd like to plan ahead. </p>
