Just opened my 3rd box of diapers

yesthisiskim · April 2011

Yep, I'm on my 3rd value size box of newborn diapers. I've gone through 200 diapers in 3 weeks!!! And a whole value box of wipes!! Holy crap, that's insane.

OK now I'm scared. Is this typical for the other new moms on the board?

Do I need to making another Target run ;-)

Well, my baby is a peanut so she's gonna stay in newborn's for a while. But she poops close to 7 times a day and because of her diaper rash I change her more frequently. I want to say we go through up to 15 diapers a day (including night time). Stock up momma!

I was going to say I get the diapers but not the wipes and then I saw your update so that makes sense.

DS is 4wks old and we have probably went through about 200+ NB diapers as well. We are only on our second package of wipes though. DS only has one big poop a day all the rest are little sharts.

yikes!

DH and I bought a 36 pack of newborns a while ago and he asked me if it would last a couple weeks! hehe...oh men!!

that's a lot of diapers!

DD was mostly formula fed and DS is mostly BF, I go through SO many diapers with him compared to her.

If you are going to BF, stock up! DS poops 6-10x/day

LOL @ sharts!! Yeah my pooping queen has about 4-5 explosions a day and if DH is changing her he uses a good 5+ wipes. He's learning... And it's an expensive lesson to be learned.

Yep, Aubrey is mostly BF and those poops are no joke!! When I say explosion, it's an understatement.

I have a peanut too. We use about 15 diapers a day too. We went thru at least 200. I can't find a box of NB pamper bigger than 84 and it's seriously bothering me!!

DD is FFand we probably go through just as many!

You're doing better than me, LO has only been home 10 days & we're getting ready to finish a 184 box of diapers already!

ailidespain · April 2011

The poops slow down, at least they did for my dd, she is six weeks and has gone from pooping every diaper to pooping once to twice a day...she usually explodes out of her diaper with those poops though so be prepared, she is ebf as well.

My little guy is 5 weeks and we went through a small pack of diapers and we are halfway through the 3rd case of diapers. Each case has 96 diapers. He poops and pees a lot and he is also mostly breastfeed. Newborn go up to 10 lb so stock up. There are times I change him and he poops or pees on the new diaper as I finish changing him and then will go again once I finish! DH and I joke that he is a pooping machine.

jksb · April 2011

well my LO uses her fair share of diapers too! She skipped the NB diapers though and went straight to size 1's. shes a big en'! shes generally speaking has at least 5 dirty diapers per day some worse than others. we use more diapers on her peeing than anything, i swear she is peeing everytime i turn around! which is a good thing so no complaints here! we have used the packaged diapers thus far-4 packs each have a lil less than 100 each (82 count i think) and as far as wipes go we are on our 3rd package refill.

We got these on Amazon. I love it because the box is made up of 12 individual packages of 20, so if for some reason you don't use them all you can sell them easier. (That explains the picture of a 20-pack, too. I was really confused when I bought them.)

I've seen those but the reviews say they aren't the "dry max" diapers you buy in stores and there were a lot of complaints about leakage. How are they holding up for you?? LO pees ALOT.

Amber68W · April 2011

They're not Dry Max but they hold up really well! LO poops A LOT and we've only had 1 blowout so far. (And I should add, that was because DH didn't put it on right.)

I am thankful for Olivia growing into her cloth diapers.

We went through large 3 boxes and the stash the hospital gave us too fast.

BerlinMum · April 2011

Natalie is a sharting machine! Luckily we have a good stock of cloth diapers that seem to fit our little nugget just right - but we have to do laundry everyday! I can only imagine how many disposables we would be going through!
