How long did your newborn stay in a newborn diaper?

Question

I'm trying to prepare myself ahead of time. and also I have a lot of Number 1's and my sister said even if they are a newborn they can fit them just as good.

Answer 1

My baby girl was in Newborns for about 3 or 4 weeks easy.  The size 1's were just to big.  She is now going on 9mons. and just now into a Size 3.  Every baby is different.  She didn't stay in the size 1's very long.

Answer 2

None of our 3 children ever wore newborn size diapers- they were all over 8 1/2 lbs each. I would really just stock up on size 1 diapers for now.

Answer 3

It really depends on the size of your newborn.  I had stocked up on newborn and size 1s but my daughter was only 5lbs 15oz so when we got home, we had to run out and get preemie size diapers!  She wore those for week or two.  

Answer 4

Not very long at all. I would def not go too crazy on stocking up on newborn sizes. Congrats!

Answer 5

I think I used 2 packages of newborn diapers so maybe like a month or less id say

Answer 6

i first little girl was 7. 5 pounds and she lost 1 pound after i had her in newborn diaper  for about month and 1/2. my 2 kid was only 5pounds 15 ounces and did not lose anything she had to were preemie diapers for about 3 weeks and then she were newborns for about 2 weeks. ever baby is different just try not to buy to many of the smaller diaper.

Answer 7

my daughter was in newborn diapers until about a month & a half...& a size 1 until about 2 and a half months; now shes in a size 2 and shes 3 months.

Answer 8

My baby was 9 lbs even when born.  The nursery put her in 1's at birth.  She had pneumonia and had to stay in the hospital until 9 days old.  She was in 1's the whole time.  Unfortunately, I had already bought N size and had them at home.  When we got home, we used the N size for about 1 week.  They just barely fit her, but I really didn't want to waste them.  Thankfully, we didn't buy very many.

Answer 9

Your sisters right. It really depends on your baby's hips believe it or not. You can always give away the diaper your baby doesn't use.  

Answer 10

My boy was 7lbs the size ones were HUGE on him, no way they would work. he is almost 4 weeks and still in size N the size ones are still way to big.  

Answer 11

My boys were just over 4lbs when they were born. They were in newborn diapers up to 7lbs and they strted peeing up the diaper and soaking there outfits so i switched to size 1 and they were fine!

Answer 12

My boy was 7 pounds 2 oz when he was born and 1's were huge on him....It depends on the size your baby is when he/she is born.  My boy was in newborn probably 3-4 weeks.

Answer 13

My daughter was to big for newborn diaper

I had to cut a the diaper for the cord, until it fell off, my sister told me that

You really only need newborn diaper until the cord falls off, they come with an open for it.  Once the cut falls off, you can go to the next size.  Unless your child is small

Answer 14

We used size "N" for 1 month.

Answer 15

My third son was 8 lbs, 7 oz at birth and he was in newborns for less than two weeks (until his stump fell off).  Newborn diapers are nice because they have that cut out for the umbilical cord.  Don't buy too many size one, though either, my son was only in them until about two months.
