How many packs of nappies should I have ready for when the baby arrives

I personally bought 2 packs of size 1 and 2 packs of size 2, otherwise if you keep buying nappies you’re going to have a lot go to waste once baby moves up sizes

Probably partly depends on pack size! I've bought two different brands of the size 1. Was told they'd use about 10 per day so I bought quite a few 24 packs because they weren't overly expensive and itd get me through a week or so!

The other thing to remember is that shops will still be open, it's good to have a stock in but you don't need to go overboard as you may end up wasting lots. I'm getting a few packs in initially and then will pick some up as and when. When people come to visit they'll always say is there anything we can bring so I'll have things to say yes to!

I’d be careful too as my first baby was allergic to a couple of the ones we bought! I wouldn’t go overboard just incase x

I got given a few different brands at my baby shower which definitely helped however pampers gave her a rash so ended up getting rid of all those. The ones I found best have been little angels at Asda and I tend to buy the big bumper packs that lasted me nearly 2 weeks so I knew in those two weeks I’d be going to the shop to get another so never actually stocked up ☺️ wipes I stocked up because I found them better to buy in bulk from Asda or even tik tok shop as I use the water wipes.

We seem to spend about 4 weeks in new born nappies, then move up. Given they go through 8-14 nappies a day, on average 11 day, 77 a week, roughly around 300 newborn nappies, ish. But this totally depends on the size of your baby, how many nappies they need in a day, how quickly they grow... So many factors. I would start with 100 and grab more as and when you need them. I know its nice to be prepared but there are some things you simply can't prepare for!

I have loads of nappies as was told can be 10+ nappies a day😅! Rather too much than too little. Anything I don't use I'll pass on to someone else x

Yeah you will go through nappies like no tomorrow! Stock up but also don’t stock up too much on the early sizes 0-1-2 there’s very little difference compared to the 3-4-5 sizes and baby will put on weight fast first few weeks/months. Stock up on wipes those you will really go through too. So yes stock up, but get various sizes, various brands from your locals (you may find one better than the other) and stock up on wipes too x
