To help you better understand diaper usage so you can plan ahead, we've provided some tips based on your baby's age. However, please note that these diaper counts are based on average usage for babies of a certain age and may vary for each baby.

Newborn to 1 month
New parents are always curious about how many baby diapers a newborn needs - because they want to make sure they have enough before the baby arrives!

Newborns Newborns actually need more diaper changes than older babies. Babies under 1 month old have 3 to 4 bowel movements per day and usually wet at least 6 or more diapers per day. This means 10 to 12 diaper changes per day in the first month of life. This means your baby may need around 300 diapers in the first month of life!

1 to 5 Months Old
As your baby gets older, you’ll notice fewer and fewer soiled diapers. Babies between 1 and 5 months old typically go through 8 to 10 diapers a day. This means your baby may need around 240 diapers a month during this period!

It’s worth noting that babies who are exclusively breastfed may have dirtier diapers than babies who are on formula, as breast milk is easier to digest and often results in more frequent bowel movements.

5 Months Old
Babies over 5 months old typically have fewer bowel movements than when they were younger. At this age, you may need to use up to 5 to 6 diapers a day. This means your baby may need around 150 diapers a month during this period!

How many diapers do you need in the first year?

How many diapers does a baby go through in a year? Fortunately, the number of diapers a newborn uses decreases significantly as babies get older. By the time your baby is 6 months old, you might be using 5 or 6 nappies a day - half the amount you'd use for a newborn!

On average, babies go through between 2,400 and 2,900 nappies in their first year. That's a lot of nappies, and a lot of nappy changes - but luckily, many of those changes are pre-made and will decrease as they get older.
