Premium Nappies

How many nappies does a baby go through per day roughly?

I know its different for every baby but for a newborn, roughly how many is it?

1. About 7 or 8 if I remember rightly!
2. On average, I would say about 10-12 .........
3. You change them roughly every 3hrs.
4. In the first few months, I changed them as needed and every couple hours to be sure - trying to avoid diaper rashes when they were so small- I would say that we went through 8 - 10 a day.
5. Depends on the baby. My daughter went through 5-6 a day. My oldest son went through 8-10 and my youngest up to 15 a day! It really just depends on the baby, how much they are eating and just exactly what they are eating.
6. I changed my babies immediately after they wet or soiled their diapers, which in a newborn is usually every 1-2 hours. A good gauge on how often your baby will go is by reviewing how often you feed your baby...that number is about the same. Also it is my understanding that formula-fed babies and breast-fed babies have different bowel movements because formula isn't as easily digested as breastmilk, thus possibly making the bowel movement occur a little more delayed in a formula-fed baby.
7. anything from 7 to 15 depending on the baby all are different just like people are different i poo twice a day some times i poo 3 times a day some times i poo 1 time a day some days i don't poo at all like babies they eat wee poo and cry and sleep as long as they are warm loved well fed and clean that's all that matters
8. For a newborn i'd say about 6 nappies a day because when you have a newborn you always go overboard on changing there nappy's. My son is now 9mos old and he goes through 4 or 5 nappies a day (if hes not poorly, that is) because they can go through alot more if they have diarrhoea
9. depends on if you are breastfeeding or formula feeding. With breast feeding it was 10 to 14 a day. Now with formula feeding its about 8 times on average a day. She is now 1 month old, but the same held true for my first child as well. I know it varies from child to child because ultimatly it depends on how much they are fed and how well their digestive tracks work.
10. General rule of thumb for a newborn is about ten/day. It might be slightly less if you're using disposables.
11. Like you said its different for each baby My twins are almost three months. I change Aimee about 10 times a day and Sophie alot less 6-7. Initially i would change them at the same time , But from 6weeks onwards Sophies nappy would be clean when Aimee would need changing. x x x x
12. I went through at least 10 a day,,,
13. My son when he was a newborn went through at least 10 a day if not more, i was changing him all the time it seemed. But it will depend on each baby some pee more than others!
14. Day-Night i would say about 15 maximum
15. my baby is 6 weeks old and he has nappy rash :-( so i have to use 12 to 13 but when he didnt about 8 to 10 soooo expensive things
16. between 8-10 a day.
