How many diapers does a baby use?

It's impossible to give a precise number for how many diapers a baby uses because it varies so much! Here's why:

* 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.
