I would say about 10 a day for a newborn.

When I used reuseables it was around about 6- 8 a day on average maybe 10 or 11 at newborn stage as your changing them through the night.

great stuff, thanks

I wouldn't say there is much difference between the brands but I know people will swear by pampers being best for girls and huggies for boys.

8-10 to start with.

I find Huggies leak.
Pampers are dear.

Both Asda and Tesco do good nappies at a lower cost.

I think about 8-10 including night changes, I am sure I was changing DS every 2-3 hours (at most). Be prepared for those occasions when you do the new nappy up, just in time for them to poo into it...

I used disposables and the only difference in brands is the shape really, I'd get 1-2 small packs of Pampers and Huggies so you can figure out which fit your baby best, I would not stock up with hundreds in case they are gappy on the legs etc.

great advice - thanks all

I've always used between 4 and 6 a day.

Normally about 10 for a new-born. But one day, DC4 got through 27 in 24 hours...

I used more reusables - as I had them and they were 'free' so didn't hold off because I knew we were going out in x amount of time . Can't really remember early days that much - we did have disposables for 8 weeks before sorting out washables, then hired a variety pack to find out which fitted best. I think we found Pampers were best at this stage.

We are currently going through at least 10 a day + a heap of clothes and muslins when she wees as we take her nappy off! Our daughter is tiny - on;y 5 lb 12 at 3 weeks and we find pampers the best - supermarket brands are too big ang huggies are a wierd shape. Pampers are bloody expensive though - can't wait til she grows a bit and we can start using our lovely stash of reusables!
