Diaper sizing
What size — and how many?
Diaper size by weight, plus how many you'll go through per day, week, month, and year. Cost too, if you tell us yours.

Pampers / Huggies / Honest all overlap on this — for 12 lb, size 1 fits.
At $0.30/diaper. Brand subscriptions and bulk Costco / Sam's Club bring this down 20–30%.
Diaper count per day is based on AAP voiding norms — most babies need a fresh diaper every 2–3 hours when awake, less overnight. Real numbers vary: newborns often go through 12+ per day; older babies who pee on a schedule may use as few as 4.
Sizing is brand-overlap. Different brands run slightly bigger or smaller; if a diaper leaks, size up. If you see red marks at the leg, size up. Most parents find Pampers and Huggies fit slightly differently — try both.
