So my BF and I are trying to anticipate how many diapers we will need for the first year also how…

Hard to say about the size cause all kids grow differently

Thats true, @aperalta03 we were just trying to get a rough estimate.

@dalehe86, I personally love white cloud brand & pampers swaddlers, or and huggies. we go through so many. about two boxes of newborns and about two going on three here in about two diapers and she's only 2 months old. and wipes we got a box of huggies refillable, two boxes of parents choice wipes and 8. a by shower packages. and we have already gone through those eight packages, two refill bags, and two packages of parents choice because my boyfriend uses roughly 12 wipes per poopy diaper. and I'm not even kidding.

My son was using pampers swaddlers from birth to about 6 months then we went to pampers baby dry. Never switched brands and I love them. Using the same brand when I have my daughter too.

@bodaciousb6, @dcsmommy257 thank you that's very helpful.

My daughter uses Huggies and it's hard to say how much a baby would need for each size. My daughter was 8lbs 14oz at birth she only fit newborns for two weeks so we donated all the newborn diapers we had. She was in size one for 6 weeks. Size two for a month and a half then she wore size 3 until she was 6 months. She is now to size 4.

@babynessa, that's a good break down. Thank you. We are trying to calculate/guess how many to ask for for the baby shower.

@babynessa, dayum

My baby was in newborns for a month and she used about 10 diapers a day for almost a month she's now on size 1 and is using about 5-7 diapers a day. We used Huggies swaddlers at first because it has that line that changes colors whenever it's wet, now we use huggies snug and dry because I feel like they last longer without having to change them. But everyone is different

The website has a diaper calculator, it's not completely accurate but it is a rough estimate. My son was born 7lbs 15.5oz - he was in NB diapers for six weeks, and has been in size 1 since then. I have tried Pampers Swaddlers, Pampers Baby Dry, Parent's Choice (Walmart brand), Luvs, Up & Up (Target brand), and Huggies Little Snugglers... I love Pampers, but they're a little too expensive, so unless I find a great sale/deal, my budget doesn't agree. Luvs and Up & Up were the next favorites for the value. Parent's Choice surprised me because those diapers actually held up really well! The only diapers we absolutely hated were the Huggies Little Snugglers! He peed through them and leaked so many times 😵😖 My suggestion: try them all! My son is long and skinny. Depending on your baby's shape some diapers work better than others.

@garayserenity, Wow! Thank you! That is very helpful! I will definitely take a look at that site! Ive never really know anyone who've use Luv's so that is really good to know.

@dalehe86, no problem. I had to do trial and error myself for six weeks (I tried all those diapers in NB size) it's hard being a first time mom not boing what works for my tiny human!
