Good question, and one every first-time parent ponders. Did you know that in the first year of your child’s life, they can go through up to 3,000 diapers? Yeah, we know — that’s a lot of diapers!
Here’s a little breakdown that can help you to decide how many diapers you’ll actually need at each stage, so you can stock up properly without overdoingh.
The cool thing about eco-friendly diapers today is that most of the best absorbent diapers you can buy will have a size chart on the packaging telling you how many pounds each size can go up to. An easy way to tell when it’s time to go up a size is if your baby has surpassed the weight on the highest pounds mentioned for that size. Another way to tell is if your baby has red marks on their thighs from the diapers being too tight on them. Those red marks mean that those diapers are too snug and it’s time to find another size for your little one.
Other signs it’s time to move up a diaper size is if the diaper closures at your baby’s waist are having trouble staying down, or if your little one is having major blowouts on a regular basis. Blowouts are no fun, and if you’re experiencing them regularly, it’s best to go up a size.
So diapers don’t technically expire, but even the very best diapers should be used within two years of their manufacture date. This is because they’re most effective within that time period, and, if they’re used afterward, they may not work as well. This is a big deal for diapers because parents need them to work properly as to not make a huge mess. Over time, even the best absorbent diapers will have their absorbent material break down.
If you have extra diapers but don’t need them and they haven’t expired yet, here are a few ideas of what you can do with them:
