How Many Diapers Do I Need? What Other Parents Say!

One of the top questions new and expecting parents ask is, “How many diapers do I need?” This post shares the averages in every size you can be prepared!

Diapers are a topic that all new parents have to navigate. If you’ve chosen to use disposable diapers and you are hoping to stock up, we did a survey of hundreds of parents to figure out the average number of diapers they used in each size.

Diaper Stockpile

While cloth diapering is on the rise with popularity, for many of us…it’s not the choice we make for our family. It can save you money though!

I surveyed a couple hundred parents about their children’s diaper usage, so those results are guiding my recommendations. I distributed this survey across Facebook – and not to any particular demographic, so the respondents had babies that were preemies, large at birth, and everything in between.

I was actually quite surprised with the results, which confirmed my suspicion that there is no cut and dry rule when it comes to diaper sizes and how long your kids are in them.

How many diapers do I need the first year?

From almost every article I’ve read, the average is between 2500 and 3000 disposable ones a year.

Using some of my calculations from my survey, it’s right around 3000 disposable diapers in a year. This will obviously vary on the quality of the diaper, how often you change it, if you have a baby who seems to poop more than others, etc.
