I got a great deal at the grocery store ($4.50 per pack and I had coupons) when I was first pregnant, and have 5 packages of newborn Pampers. I won't buy more, I'll start stashing away bigger sizes with my coupons, but how long did your baby wear size 1?

I do not remember with my girls, I know newborn lasted one or 2 packages, but do not remember size 1! And I know we used sizes 3 and 4 for quite awhile!

I think both of mine were in Size 1 until 2 months or so at least. It is all a little blurry.....

Both of mine were in size one for about a month, but then they were both on the bigger side. I think size 2 lasted for a month or so as well.

i think it depends on the size of baby my oldest wore size 1 up until he was 6 months but he was a small baby. my secound has worn size 3 now for over a year and he is 2(unfortunately no intrest in the big boy potty) i think every kid is different. thats a tough one. maybe get several pkgs of 1 then start stocking up on 2's.

DJ is 6 weeks and still in size 1 and I can see him being in them for at least another month. (He was 7 lbs 12 oz at birth) We've gone through about 3-4 packs already.

...and 5 packages of newborn sure sounds like a lot. Maybe you can take them and exchange them (for their full price) cause if you have an average sized baby... I dont think youll use 5 packs. Especially if you get some from the hospital. We went through like 1 pack of newborn.

OOPS! Ember, I meant I have size 1s. I only grabbed one newborn, I have pregnant mommy brain!

Sorry!

But it sounds like I should have plenty of size 1, so next time I shop with my coupons I'll pick up some 2s. We did this before, got a variety of sizes when we could when I was pregnant, then used the correct size up and bought more in that size if needed.

The only newborn diapers we used were the ones we brought home from the hospital. I think Ian & Quentin were both in size 1 for about a month, but then they were both 9 1/2 lbs at birth!
