To keep things simpler, Pampers diapers sizes are based on baby weight—not things like age or gender. Most of the time, your baby's weight will fall neatly within the range of a certain diaper size, producing a good fit. In some cases, you might have a choice of two sizes, as the weight ranges can sometimes overlap. If you have a baby who is long and slim, for example, you might need to go with the smaller of the two sizes for the best fit.
After the diaper is on, run two fingers just inside the leg cuffs to get them in the proper position to help prevent leaks. After the diaper is fastened, you should be able to fit two fingers under the waistband. This means the diaper is fitted properly — not too snug, not too loose. To weigh your baby, you can use your normal bathroom scale. Record the number. Then, step back on the scale without your baby. Once your baby is older than 1 month, you may notice fewer soiled diapers.
Babies between 1 and 5 months old typically go through 8 to 10 diapers per day. Note that if your baby is exclusively being breastfed, she may have more soiled diapers compared to a baby who is on formula since breast milk is easy to digest and typically results in more frequent bowel movements. Babies over 5 months of age usually have fewer bowel movements than when they were younger. At this age, you can expect to use up to 8 diapers per day. And while the cost depends on many factors, including brand and package size, parents can expect to shell out a sizable sum over the years.
This doesn't count the cost of other diapering supplies, such as wipes and a changing table. Buying eco-friendly products also raises the price by a few hundred dollars. Of course, there are plenty of ways to save money on diapers.
Try using coupons, finding discounts online, buying in bulk, stockpiling whenever you see diapers at a low price, and testing out lower price options. Some parents also believe that cloth diapers save money, but it's more work to wash the diapers after each use or use a diapering service. You can learn more about cloth diapers here.
