“I’m expecting my first child and I would like to know how many diapers should I buy per month?”
Answers from 4aKid fans:
Tanya Tait-Loubser Well first of all everyone was raving about pampers so i only bought pampers, i was dissapointed in the end and started using huggies. So dont buy to many nappies of the same brand i’d say buy different sizes in different brands until you know what work

Shelley Morris Foot P.SM don’t buy too many as your baby will grow and you might need a bigger size than what you bought.

Khatija Chinnapper I went thru a pack of 80 in less that 2 weeks. During the first 2 weeks or so the poo a lot. Also don’t buy too many packs of newborn as u don’t know what will ur baby’s birth weight be. Good luck

Tasja Visser they use approx 10 nappies a day at first. don’t buy too many in advance. I found my daughter had an allergic reaction to pampers so used huggies, and my son was the opposite.

Lee-Ann Albrecht Laufs Work on a average of 8 nappies a day. Also when they are new born use nappy liners. It saves the nappies from those small pooh’s that they make and instead of changing the whole nappy you just change the liner and put the nappy back on which will help save the nappies.

Lindsay Rose Everyone told me about 10 nappies a day and believe me I never got to that amount. I would say about 6 a day. Two jumbo packs a month

Melanie van der Hoef In the beginning it can be between 8 and 10 a day. Then over the next six months it would start to decline to around 6 a day.
