How many diapers does a baby use?
* Baby's age: Newborns use the most diapers (up to 12 per day!), but as babies get older, they use fewer.
* Feeding type: Breastfed babies often poop more frequently than formula-fed babies.
* Individual baby: Some babies are just "big poopers" and need more diaper changes.
* Diaper type: Cloth diapers generally need to be changed more often than disposable diapers.
Here are some general estimates:
* Newborns (0-3 months): Up to 12 diapers per day
* Babies (3-6 months): 8-10 diapers per day
* Toddlers (1+ year): 4-6 diapers per day (especially if potty training)
Tip: It's best to buy diapers in smaller quantities at first and adjust as you get a feel for your baby's diaper usage.
