Buying newborn diapers in advance?
Hi mummies, do you all buy newborn diapers in advance to prepare for baby’s arrival? If yes, how many is sufficient? Understand that it all depends on baby’s size and brand preferences etc. Thanks!
Yes. I bought 2 x nb , 3x small and 3 x medium And if I need more small size, I will get them after baby is born. It’s better to buy bigger size then smaller size because babies outgrown them very fast. For your reference: my baby wears NB up to 1.5mth old, S size up to 3.5 mth, M size up to 7mth ish, Currently at 1y & 3wk old, she is still at size L. As for which brand is better, it really depends on baby’s skin and of course your Budget. You can request for samples but tbh, they only give 1-2 pieces. No way to test the suitability. The hospital that I give birth provides Huggies so I bought Huggies to let her tide over the confinement period. I also tried various brands such as rascal and friends, Merries, pamper premium and moony airfit. Rascal and friends was not suitable as my daughter immediately developed rash around her v area. So I stopped and blessed out the rest. Now we are using Merries pants and moony air fit tapes. I used tapes for night time because tape diapers can ‘holds’ or ‘tahan’ better through the night.
