Huggies nappies - newborn

Hi,

I think it depends on whether your baby is breast- or bottle fed. Breast babies tend to have dirty nappies more frequently. My one was bottle fed from birth and at most we used 8 nappies per day, but usually around 6. Both Huggies and Pampers absorb wetness incredibly well, so if your baby only has a wet nappy you really don't have to change more often than 4 - 6 hours.

I second the recommendation to buy bigger sizes, newborn and very young babies grow so quickly. I wouldn't stock more than 3 packs of size 1 and 2, and you're likely to get some at your baby shower anyway.

you will change about 12 nappies a day for at least the 1st 8 weeks. so that is 84 nappies a week.
if i remember correctly the huggies size 0 nappy only has 24 nappies in a pack.

my lb was a big baby born at 3,7kg on 38 weeks and gained weight very fast. he used the huggies size for 2 weeks end of those 2 weeks being 4,3kg's.
size 1 he also only wore for 2 weeks till just over 5 kg's

from 8-12 weeks you can bargain on 8-10 nappies a day and from there on 6-8 nappies a day.

i used cloth nappies since he was 3 weeks old and changes nappies with every feed. disposable nappies has so much nasty chemicals in them so even if i used disposables i would still change with every feed - every 3 hours

i don't think you should stock up to much. people buy the small sizes for baby showers. if you want to stock up, rather buy some of the bigger sizes.
and also do not be to set on only 1 brand as it may not work for your baby.
my lb for instance gets a terrible rash immediately from huggies but not from the other brands

I'm trying to stock up on some nappies before baby arrives in May. I know I'll get some from friends, but I want to be prepared especially whilst baby is still very small.

I'm going to be using Huggies, so I was just wondering if anyone has some advice on how many packs of Huggies My First Nappy (0 - 3 weeks) and Huggies New Baby size 1 I should have more or less? I'm so confused about these two....My baby will be small at birth (between 2,7kg - 3kg).

Thanks!
