How long in newborn diapers?

[annapunkalunka]

I think we bought 2 big boxes of swaddlers then just moved to size 1. They were big at first, but they still worked. C was 8lb1oz at birth.

I'd say two boxes should be good. We actually switched Nora to size 1 early because of a diaper rash.

I think we were only in newborn diapers for a month or so. We switched to size ones pretty early on, even though they were a bit big.

Maybe a month at the most? Might have been a few weeks. My babies are around 7lbs at birth, but put on weight super fast.

Haha my 10lb "newborn" was never in newborn diapers. The nurses in L&D had to go find size 1 to put him in!

[gahorseygal]

about 2 months. We skipped size 1 though, went to size 2, then started cloth diapering.

DS was in them about a month

[greysonsmom]

DS was 8lbs when he was born and the hospital out him in size 1s right away so that's what I went with, I returned the newborn diapers.

DS wore newborn diapers about 6 weeks or so I believe. He was 7lb 15 oz at birth. He wore newborn till we had to move up to 1s.

This.

Also, my hospital only used size 1 diapers on all the babies. We had no issues using size 1 for those few days and DS was 7lb 9oz at birth.

AC wasn't in nb very long but we went thru a lot of them. It seemed like she pooped every time she ate for the first month.

[bobloblaw]

We never used newborn sized. We went right to size 1.

DD was in newborn for the first month.
DS was almost 2 lbs bigger at birth so he basically only wore newborns for a week and a half until we ran out, then we switched him to size 1's.

A week, maybe? R. was always big, so we switched to size 1 almost right away.

Exactly this for us. LO was 7 lbs 14 oz.

We have always had to size up sooner because he is long.

For DD I had bought 1 box of newborn and 1 box or size one, knowing that if I needed more newborn I could easily Amazon them

3-4 weeks for mine, but they are on the fast end growth wise. They start out average and get tall.

DD was 10lbs 9ozs, so she was in 1s straigtaway. DS was a preemie, but an 8lb 10ozs preemie and was only in NBs for his NICU stay. They gave us 1s to take home and that is what we used.

J was 7lbs8oz and I'd guess in nb diapers for about a month. I was given an economy sized package at my shower (240diapers) and used 220 of them. I feel like we were in 1s for quite a while, went through 2s the quickest, 3s for a decent amount of time and have been in 4s forever now (use a 5 overnight).

We used nb for about 3 days. The hospital gave us 1s, but they were a bit big. She's in 1s now,which are still big, but better than having a bunch of unused nb diapers laying around.
