How many nappies?

Hi Ladies,

I was just wondering how many nappies your babies of similar ages to my little one are going through these days? Alyssa is almost 14 weeks old and still seem to go through a heck of a lot of them! I would say I use at least 15 or more every day...not sure how many is the norm though?

She absolutely will not put up with even a slightly dirty nappy and won't stop grizzling until she has been changed. This is probably my fault as early on she had nappy rash and so I changed often as was recommended to me and so now she's extra fussy! On top of this, she has always had the routine of a feed after a nappy change so this is demanded as well! Little monkey!!

we are the same, we use huggies at night (just one from 8pm to 7am) unless she poos but then from the 7am change we would probably use around 6ish a day depending on how many are dirty. We feed then change unless its dirty

We use cloth nappies but it works out the same...we go through 7-8 nappies in a 24 hour period, we change each feed and again if she has a dirty nappy in between.

It's not a bad thing to change when dirty after all sitting in a dirty nappy too long is a big contributor to nappy rash!

Ditto the 7-8 as well

Well i can use anywhere between 8 & 12 depending on what kind of day Lycan is having....sometime he can have a dirty nappy 3 times in the space of an hour....and other days he just has 1 - 2 dirty nappies and the rest of the time he gets changed after a feed.

I use huggies which seem really good to me, but she still knows when something is in there!

Oh sh*t pepsi!
Agreed with lizzle on the nappy off time thing.

what if you take the nappy off and put it back on again? If it is still dry then she shouldn't notice?

Edited as I didn't mean to type "wet" nappy, I meant if it was still dry..

thanks gsmum, you really made my day with your post

I edited my other post as I realised I had typed "wet" but I meant to just type nappy.. no, I wouldn't put a wet nappy back on a baby, but if it is still dry then there is no harm in putting it back on again, after all, disposables have tabs to refasten if needed
