I started the diaper stockpile when I was about 12 weeks along. When I asked around to my mom friends on how many to buy in what sizes and what brands, a few of them thought I was crazy to start buying diapers so soon, but others knew exactly what my plan was and had either done it, or wished they had.
Every time I had a coupon and was doing a Target run, I'd buy a pack or box of diapers. I've guessed along the way of what sizes and how many of each we'll need, of course knowing J will be making diaper runs when needed. And knowing you go through about 10 a day in the beginning, it was nice to spread out the cost a bit.
Here's the stockpile so far!
Newborn: 72
Size 1: 430
Size 2: 538
Size 3: 246
Size 4: 60
I hear you can't really prepare for what's to come, but I'm surely going to try!
Hey Girly! I did this too! We ended up only having to buy (in addition to the stock pile) 1 package of newborn size, 2 size one, and are now on our last box of size 2 diapers. It was nice to NOT have to worry about running out for teh last 4 months!
