Diaper stockup - what to get

[polarbearfans]

I know we have had this discussion already recently. Tax free weekend in my state so getting some diapers (good price after coupon and sale) and other items.

I have a box of 200 size 1 that I just ordered. I swear the day they arrived they seemed small. I think she just has a wide bottom because she is a tiny little girl. She just hit 8 pounds so they should be fine but they are barely holding poop in on the sides and she has red marks (around little butte cheeks and legs) even with the diaper being closed looser. 200 diapers is about 8-10 days worth for us. I would hope she would grow some in that time.

Should I bother with more size 1, or just get a couple boxes size 2 and buy size 1 as needed?

Or change brands? We have been doing pampers swaddlers.

I feel like Huggies are wider than Pampers. Huggies work better for my older son who is stocky and Pampers work better for my skinny baby.

I would buy a size up. If you don't need them quite yet, you will eventually.

I always stock up in the next size up and buy from places that take returns. It may be worth trying a different brand too. You say it's 'barely holding poop', does it actually leak? If not, it's super common for my kids to poop edge to edge, but as long as the ruffles are out and it stayed in we were fine and they didn't always need to move up.

Also, that is a lot of diapers per day. Are you really going through a diaper every hour? Even if you are, that should slow down eventually so factor that in if you are buying a lot of diapers.

It's staying in mostly. Comes out to the outside of the ruffs but not on clothes.

Def did my math wrong! She has 10-14 diapers a day,

I liked Costco and eventually went to Target. I liked the pee line with a newborn but it got less important. I never had a blowout in any brand. I use huggies overnight.
