Newborn question ?

Question

How much formula does a baby go through in a day, and how many diapers a day?

Answer 1

it depends on how much you feed the baby a day

feeding it a certain amount efects the babys amount of diper changes

Answer 2

I can't answer the question about formula because I bf'd my three children. But newborn babies go through about 10-12 diapers a day. They tend to p**p *a lot* ... so they go through a lot of diaper changes!

Answer 3

Well, it depends on the age.  Most babies top out at about 30 - 32 ounces.  My son goes through probably about 8 - 10 diapers a day.  

Answer 4

I think it varies from baby to baby. My hubby and I hired a mid wife who gave us these guidelines.

These are ONLY guidelines:

1 month @ 8lbs = 21-23 oz

2 month @ 10lbs= 25-27 oz

3 months @ 12lbs =30ish oz

It also depends on if the parent comfort feeds. If so, then the baby will probably take more ounces.

Now for the diaper issue... My little guy went through a TON of newborn diapers. I would say about 11 a day. Once he was a bit older, it averaged out to 8-10 diapers. He urniates a lot... so we try to be good about chaning him. (He's 5 months... and is on solids so he only poops 2x's a day)  

Answer 5

i am sure every baby is different, but i would say to plan on at least 10-12 diaps a day

formula goes fasssssssst!!

at least plan on 2 oz every 2 hrs; but again every baby is diff and they grow fast! and will drink more!

Answer 6

depends on the baby!  generally a box of formula and a pack of nappies would last my son a week

Answer 7

LOL...depends on the baby.  Mine ate about 2 ounces every two hours....and I changed them after feeding.  So....24 ounces....and 12 diapers.  

Answer 8

depends on the baby, they have a bottle about every four hours and newborn would only have 2-4 oz in their bottle and i used to change my sons diapers at every feed and when he had pooed

Answer 9

Depends on the age of the baby, they change very quikly when they are so little.

Week one = 2oz every feeding

1-5 dirty diapers a day

Answer 10

2 to 3 ounces per lb of child.  So a 8 lb baby will go through 16-24 ounces.  If you are doing this for a price estimate...keep in mind that you will waste some, because most kids won't drain an entire bottle each feeding.

Diapers - probably 8 -10 diapers a day.  Just depends if you are good at making sure the baby is finished pooping before you go to change it.

Answer 11

about 8 wet diapers a day and a poops very day to day due to immature digestion systems.

as for formula my son was taking in about 1-2 ozs every 1.5-2 hours

Answer 12

alot and it depends on the baby
