Agree with @Mae that I would plan on disposables in the early days, so some newborn and size 1 probably.

We also did disposables at first. We started with cloth around 5-6 weeks I think. We went through about 15 a day.

We didn't start cloth until he was about 10 lbs, so a couple months. We went through quite a few newborn and 1's. There are also times when the cloth isn't quite convenient (being gone all day, spending time with grandma, traveling, etc.) so we've continued to buy disposables to have on hand. We got quite a few diapers in multiple sizes from DH's work shower and have used them all for one reason or another.

We started cloth right away, but had to find some really tiny covers (Rumparooz). I still preferred it to disposables, since newborns poop constantly. We did switch to disposables for about 2 weeks after his circ though. I agree with the others 10ish/day is good. Newborn is the only size we went through a whole pack (and the hospital gave us some too).

We used disposables for 10 ish weeks int he newborn days. and like @Cole: we still use them on occasion when its more convenient.

I would definitely specify size most guys dont know what theyre buying and will just grab the first pack they see. I was at a baby shower a few months ago and one of the girl's friends who does not have much baby experience bought her a huge box of Sz 4 diapers. I hope she was able to change them bc i have 15m old and she still only wears sz 3.

I used disposables the first month of her life (she was born 41w)

I believe I used 1 big box of NB size diapers (the 210 count?) and then a second smaller box. So maybe around 300? And whatever I took home from the hospital. I probably changed them a little more often than I needed to though looking back on it.

After 1 month (she was over 9lbs at this point) we used mostly cloth and disposable at night and when traveling or going out. I think I used one big box of size 1s. The next box I bought was one big box of size 2s. and now I'm actually on my 2nd big box of size 3s (bought both in August). After this box is done I will buy size 4 (she is 8mo now) because they're looking a little too small on her butt.

Mine was born average weight 7lb4oz and really short (like 5%) but jumped up to about 75-80% weight and 90% height over the first few months. So she outgrew NB, size 1, and size 2 fairly quickly.
