ok so i go to this thing every week where i can get 24 diapers free a week and i get the choice of newborn 1 2 &3. what i need help figureing out since am not sure how quickly average babies grow out of the different sizes is how many of each size should i get. i got 23 weeks. i could do it semi evenly and do 5 weeks of getting newborn and the 6 weeks getting size one and so on. i hope this makes since. should i do it evenly or will i need less size one and way more size 3?

What the heck are going too. I wanna go too!
Newborn diapers you dont need many. The baby out grows them fast. The are cut differently to let the embilical cord to heal and fall off.
Most the sizes over lap. new born is up to 14 pounds, however size 1 is 8 – 16 pounds.
size 2 is like 15-22 pounds
size 3 is like 20-28 pounds.
Ok well figure at least two weeks of newborn diapers. The average newborn baby will use 8 diapers a day. You should also remember this for the first check up because the doctor will want to know.
They dont stay in size one very long either. Between Newborn size and size 1, I would say get no more 1/3 of these sizes total.
Keep in mind that most babies will triple their body weight in a year. So if your getting your getting this for 23 weeks, you could decide to get the rest of the diapers in equal amounts of size 2 and 3.
Honestly, It all depends. I was told not to buy a lot of newborn diapers so I got rid of most of them and when I had my daughter she was in newborn for 2 months. It really depends on how big your baby is going to be but on the average I’d say you don’t need much of the newborn. My first three children stayed in 1s for about a month and a half to three months. but 2s I’d say is what you’ll be more of.
That is great that you an get 24 diapers free.
Good luck and take care
where do you go anyways…I want to go too…well for me, my son wear newborn size until he was 1 month, size 1 until he was three months, size 3 until he was 9 months, and size 4 after that until he is potty trained. I think that babies were size 3 longer that 1and 2 so try to get more of size 3.
Just don’t get very many newborn, they don’t fit in those for long at all. With my boy each time he went up a size he stayed in that size quite a bit longer than the previous sizes. Don’t know if that is true for all babies though.
It’s hard to say because every baby grows different.
But I wouldn’t suggest getting too many new born diapers, as they tend to grow out of them the most. You will be in size 1 for a while.
my second was in
Newborn for about 15 days
size 1 for 2 months
size 2 for 2 months
Size 3 since she was 5 months (she is now 11)
don’t get newborn!
if you have a big baby like i did, he might go straight to size 2
less size
