    Default what age are babies too big for newborn nappies ?

    I'm starting to buy items for bub in my weekly shopping to help moneywise once I stop working I've been buying newborn nappies and wondered roughly what age do babies grow out of newborn size nappies ? I have approx 5 weeks worth so far any help would be great, I know all babies are different but I'd rather have less then too many

    Thanks

    DD wasn't tiny but she wasn't huge either and she was in newborns for around six weeks.

    DS was huge and only lasted in newborn nappies for about 1month.

    My 12 week old bub only just outgrew them.
    If you do end up buying too many, you can swap unopened boxes/packets for the next size up.

    both of my kids were in them for quite a while but I did have one 5lber and one that didn't grow very fast so not a good judge this time for my new bub I have bout 2 boxes should last me about a month with the use of cloth nappies in there as well when we are at home depending on her size.

    I think we used 2 boxes, and didn't even get through the second box completely before we moved on to the next size.
