Year's Supply of Diapers?

[jessica52877]

Most of the time if the diaper said to 28 lbs my son could easily go to the next size around 22 or so lbs so it probably wouldn't be hard to skip a size. We never did but I could make almost any size diaper work if I needed to. Especially once he hit 3's, 4's weren't much bigger or I assume 5's..

I am confused by the idea that baby's skip a size. If size 3 is 16-28 lbs, how does a baby skip that size?

I dont know.. my son has wide hips lol He was 20 pounds at his 4 month checkup, I am not sure what he is is now and my 18mo is 24 pounds.

The size 4's fit them best.

If you're interested in saving money, you might want to think about using cloth diapers instead.

I was wondering when someone was going to mention using cloth! I used cloth on both my kids & saved a TON of money - plus I sold the diapers after the kids outgrew them - and on some of them I *made* money, LOL! Can't do that with disposables. Plus it keeps the poop out of the landfills, and WAHM (work at home mom) companies make such cute diapers in all shapes and sizes - some you stuff (pocket diapers), some are diaper/cover combos, even tie-dye prefolds.

If you want to be super-frugal, use prefolds - and NOT the stuff (like Gerber) you get at Walmart. Those are junk. You have to order them online - Chinese prefolds, they are thick and really nice. I used prefolds with a fleece-lined hemp doubler and a simple cover (Motherease, Bummi, Proraps -they even sell "second quality" ones that are nice). Very simple and inexpensive. The cloth diaper community is very large and many many mamas buy and sell new and used cloth diapers.

For wipes, I made my own out of old baby blankets, and I made them out of Bounty towels - cut roll in half and and to mixture of water, baby shampoo and baby oil - there are recipes online.

Super easy on your wallet and better for the environment.

i did buy ahead, almost 6 months. i planned for 6 to 8 diapers per day, and almost came out perfect. i planned 3 months in ones 3 months in twos then 6 in threes and six in fours......for the firstsix months i nailed it down to the last package......after that i hadn't gotten bought up........walmart let me exchange the unopened ones for the right size or even change of brands. i do know that my daughter could wear anything without leaking but i trended toward white cloud. my first son was a huggies supreme baby all the way because of leaking, especially while sleeping. this one, is a luvs baby after a short huggies stent...............
