diaper sizes

I know newborn diapers go up to 10 lbs. What are the weight ranges for size 1 and 2 diapers. I was given a bunch but they arent in package

What brand? 

Pampers size 1's are 8-14 pounds, 2's are 12-18 pounds

I think pampers. Do different brands have different weights?

If you go to their websites they breakdown each size by weight limit for you. I think there is a little difference between brands as well.

Honestly the size range is a guess. DS was in diapers before the range because he is so thin and leaked out of them. You can check out the website for each brand or just check the boxes in the aisle.

I have only ever seen newborn diapers up to 8 pounds.  Everyone has told me not to buy newborn diapers as they will give you some in the hospital.

Don't know what brand you've been looking at but Newborns go up to 10lbs as OP said. The advice I've had is to only get 100 newborns in advance since you don't know how big your baby will be, and to stock up on Size 1s.

OP is there any way you can just ask the person you got them from? I had to do that with my shower diaper cake diapers. If not, I guess just ballpark it based off what brand they look like they might be?

I would skip the newborn diapers unless you think you're going to have a teeny tiny baby.  Like someone else said they give you some at the hospital and you'll need the size 1's pretty quickly.

I think people are getting confused. Pretty much all newborn diapers go to 10lbs, but size 1's *start* at 8lbs. There is a 2lb overlap between the two sizes, so where you start is up to you.
