how many nappies would u have

[sweetmummi]

okay so I'm freaking out I don't have enough disposable nappies for when bub comes home... I have a full nappy stacker full of newborn - infant nappies

Plus 3 bags of newborn un open as they don't fit in the stacker

Do u think I should get more? And what size as I'm not expecting a small baby as my last bub was 10pound 12

Count on about 6 - 10 nappies per day in the first few weeks.

You'd be better buying the next size up if you get more before the birth, as you will always have a use for them, and you can buy more newborn ones if/when you need them depending on the size of your baby.

DS was 9 pound when born and out of newborn size within a few weeks. DD was 5 1/2 pound and would have fit them for the first 6 months.

I would think that would be plenty in the newborn size! I would buy them in the next size up! :)

DONT over do the newborn nappies at all:no:
they grow WAY to quick i ended up taking boxes back to exchange them.
The newborn only goes to 5kgs and they hit that pretty quick also depending on weight born.
My DS was 3.2kgs my DD was 4kgs so not alot of newborn nappies for her at all i think one bag.

PLus sometimes its better to go up to the next size to. i found when we went up there was that bit more room and sometimes if they do just fit they tend to leak- thats what i found.

I remember i had a problem with huggies nappies leaking alot so i conntacted huggies and they told me to go up to the next size in weight and nicely sent me a packet to see that. And yes it did help- so even though it say 6 to 11kgs dont freak it wont fall off a 5kg baby or look like a huge nappy bum in their pants. it will be a nicer fit.
