How long was your LO in "Newborn" sized diapers?

I can't remember how long DS wore newborn!  We are trying to order some diapers ahead of time and I don't know how many to order.

Thank you for the replies!

DS was in them for around 3 weeks. He was probably around 10lbs when we went to size 1.

DD is 10 weeks and we switched her to size 1 at 8 1/2 weeks. She is still only just under 9lbs though and probably could have stayed but they were starting to leave red marks on her little legs.

my daughter is skinny naturally, so 4 weeks and the size 1 are a little big

I think around 3 weeks. He was around 10 lbs. He could have wore size 1s a little sooner but we used up what we had.

One week! Thank goodness we only bought a small pack and a friend gave us some.

We switched DS1 around 3 weeks.  He was 7lbs 2oz at birth.  DS2 we had to switch around 2 weeks, but he was almost 9lbs at that point and very long waisted.

5 weeks, she could still wear them, but I didnt want to start a box we couldn't finish.

At birth DS weighed 8lbs 11oz, so the hospital just started us off on 1's.  We folded them over to avoid his stump, and that help them fit better.  We returned the 2 packs of newborn diapers since we didn't even need them.

About 5 - 6 weeks, a little over 10lbs. She was 7 at birth.

I agree with others, just before DS hit ten pounds.

Right around 4 weeks when DS was 10 lbs

DS is 11 wks and still in NB diapers- but only during the day and once we finish the pack he will move to size 1 exclusively

About a week---DS was 10 lb 6 oz when he was born.  The nurses started using size 1 in the hospital.  Basically we just used the one pack that we were given as a shower gift and moved DS back into the size 1. 

DS will start wearing size 2 soon.  We're just finishing up our size 1 diapers.  DS is about 14 pounds.  I tried putting a size 2 diaper on DS a couple of weeks ago, but it was too big in the legs.  I tried a size 2 last night, and it fit.

Haha the 2 days in the hospital were the only days that DS was in newborn.

Lol, started at size 1. He was a big boy.

DD is still in them now at 5 weeks and 8 pounds 5 oz. But I'm thinking of moving her to size 1s bc I don't want to buy another pack and not use them all.

i only used about 150 newborn diapers, i had 1 brand new pack of 8 and a friend gave me 1/2 a case from her granddaughter. i did not stock up on them because i was told i was going to have a 10# baby, but i ended up delivering a 7#6oz baby 2 wks early. the size 1 of pampers are big on him but the huggies fit just right. i am using pampers right now and they leave a bulge but i'm ok with it.

Baby's shape matters just as much as weight. DD was 7.6 and out of newborn by week 3.

Now at 10lbs and 6 weeks I'm not opening another big case of 1s as I don't think she'll get through them.

Kid 1 wore 2s forever and Kid 2 was in 4s for a year. You really just can judge until you try them.

My son is still in them (Huggies) and he is 9 weeks old.  However, he was 3 weeks early and 5lb 13 oz at birth.

She was out of nb pampers swaddlers at 4 weeks, but she still fits nb huggies snugglers.

He never fit into newborn.. He was 9 lbs so he's started with size 1 and is now almost 3 months in size 2 diapers! I got A LOT of newborn diapers at baby showers... Never used them! Lol

my daughter is 5 weeks old and is wearing size one.  Wore NB pampers for about 3-4 weeks.

FabulousMrs.P

My DD wore them for about 1 month.

Every baby is different.

My DS was in newborn diapers for about 15 weeks.

my DD was only in them for about 3.5 weeks. 

Depends on how big they are when they are born, how fast they grow and their overall shape. 

My DS was long and skinny(never had any baby fat rolls anywhere) but was perfectly healthy, etc.  My DD is a more normal baby (not fat, but has a few rolls).
