How many nappies do you use a day?

On average for an 18 month old?

I'm saying 5 plus another if there's a random poo

Why are you asking?

fanaticalfairy · 20/01/2025 12:22

I mean...why does it matter if Sarah comes along and says she uses 2, and Jane comes along and says she uses 12....?

@fanaticalfairy because I'm trying to buy enough for someone for a fortnight.

Does it matter why I'm asking? 🙄

Of course it matters, some people will use 1, down 12 because of bowel issues or mental health reasons

And.... Because why not just ask the person?

4-5 usually. 5 a day for a fortnight would be plenty because there probably are some days we may even use less than that.
Change in the morning, change at nap time, change when he does a poo and change when he goes to bed.

Welcome to MN you absolutely must explain your reason behind asking a question or you'll be flamed 😂

At 18 months I'd maybe say 1 every 2-3 hours depending on diet so assuming awake 12 hours per day at least 6 per day and an extra for overnight (I had twins so often bulk bought ahead 😅)

Varied massively wheb DS was that age.

Some days 5 some days 3 some days 7...

I get why you're asking but it'd going to vary massively across the board.

How many times do you go to the toilet each day? Yesterday may have been 3 todya maybe 23..

We did cloth bum at that point. Changed every 2-3 h and 1 overnight. We probably did 5-6 day nappies plus the overnight, we were changing

5 a day for 2 weeks is 70, 6 a day is 84. Two packets would be 80+ depending on size and brand. I'd send two packs. If they go through them would it be fairly easy for them to get extras?

MumChp · 20/01/2025 17:32

3 kids so honesly not a great answer. We used from 2 to 10. Avarage of 5 I suppose. Nursery changed some of course. I used clotch nappies for the oldeste two.
