Stock pile of diapers and wipes

Adebreto · October 2013

Anyone else starting a stock pile? We are every pay day different siZes I figure whatever we don't use someone else can. I figure a different size here and there

Lydiaq28 · October 2013

I haven't but if it helps.... I found that my LO stayed in size 2 and 3 the longest so I would stick up on those if I found a great deal.

it's kinda early plus I still have one in diapers

Kamiegrace1 · October 2013

I would buy very little newborn size - DS was born into a size one.

Too early for me. I MC last time at 11 1/2 weeks so I am not buying snythig until after first tri.

IlliniQT · October 2013

I'm not -- DS had a very sensitive booty and could only wear one brand/style of diapers, same thing with wipes. If I were you I'd put aside money or buy a gc to the place you'll shop for diapers instead.

I figured 2 and 3 s were the major sizes to and yeah NB very little, I buy sensitive everything because I'm sensitive to everything

Different brands work better for different babies as far as leaks and such, I wouldn't buy that many in case a brand doesn't work out.

I would stock pile the money in a different account so you can freely buy what you need when you need it.

Not until after first trimester

We cloth diaper and wipe so technically I'm already stock piled!

I agree with this!

Nope. I still have some nb and step 1s left over from DD so I'll just start with that and then buy when needed.

We do Amazon Prime for diapers and wipes - so we've saved "extra's" for the next LO but stock pile of diapers I've be carefull of having to many of any size my little guy skipped sizes and needed swaddlers even though he was in a "cruiser" size

TXSparky · October 2013

Second the Amazon Prime with amazon mom. It's hard to find a better deal in a store.

I'm not buying yet. I feel like its too early to buy anything. I have a few smaller sizes/packs left over from my daughter.

Edit: stupid phone autocorrect...

Don't get to many newborns. They don't stay in them long. Well ok DS1 did but he was a preemie so it took him awhile to catch up.

xnbride · October 2013

I wouldn't stock pile diapers because you will find that you will prefer certain diapers over others and it depends on the kid and their body shape, skin sensitivity and "outflow" schedule etc.

DS1 was in huggies. Ds2 was in Luvs and only pampers work for DS3. For instance, DS3 has a fat belly but is shorter, he has sensitive skin and often has loser poop so pampers are ideal. Huggies run too small and fit very tight but they worked well for Ds1 because he was very slender. Luvs are similar to Pampers but they are not as absorbant so they worked well for DS2 who had a very regular poop schedule and large bladder.

See what I mean? Who knew it was so complex, but it is. Every baby is different. What works for one, won't work for another. So, needless to say, don't stockpile. Wait and see what will work best for YOUR baby.

xnbride · October 2013

Oh but I will say that Pampers sensitive newborns/size 1 are the way to go in the begining. They worked well for all of my boys. But don't overbuy because if you have a larger baby, you may never even use the newborn size.

I returned so many packs of diapers I got at my baby shower to get the right size and brand that I preferred. Stores are usually pretty willing to swap diapers brands.

Ditto.

I used cloth with my first and I'm going to again. Love that I don't have to repeat the investment!

hadley135 · October 2013

We plan to do cloth diapering, but will keep a little stock of disposables for on the go. I am going to be a ftm so I hope cloth diapering works ok since it is quite the investment to start!

Whippet8 · October 2013

We didn't stockpile, but for us, DD was in size 2 for only about three weeks.

k318 · October 2013

I stock piled after we found a good brand for ds, and still ended up with too many of some sizes and having to return or put away for this one and hoping that they work for this baby too. For us- Huggies and pampers were no good, up and up from target have been the best
