So, you’re about to welcome a little one into your life—congrats! One of the biggest questions new parents often have is, “How many diapers will I actually need?” Well, let’s break it down in a way that feels like we’re just having a chat over coffee.
First off, the average newborn goes through about 10 to 12 diapers a day. That can sound overwhelming, but don’t worry! If you’re expecting to use disposable diapers, you might want to stock up on around 300 to 400 diapers for the first month. This gives you a little cushion for those busy days when you can’t get to the store.
As your baby grows, the number of diapers you’ll need will decrease. By the time they’re a toddler, you might only be changing around 6 to 8 diapers a day. So, if you’re planning a diaper stash, consider buying in bulk for the early months.
