How Many Nappies Do I Need?

There is no universal answer to this question and the right number of nappies for you will depend on a number of factors:

• How often you intend to wash your nappies.
• What drying facilities you have and what is your preferred method of drying.
• How old your baby is.
• If you intend to only use cloth nappies or a combination of cloth and disposables.

A newborn baby will probably need changing between 10 and 12 times a day, nappy changes will gradually reduce as you baby gets older. As a rough estimate I would recommend between 18 and 24 nappies and 4 or 5 wraps for a newborn baby who’s parent’s intend to wash a load of nappies every 24-36 hours and who line dry in good weather and use a tumble dryer when the weather means line drying is not an option.

If your baby has already been born then you will be used to the changing pattern and be aware of how many nappies you need, I would always recommend purchasing a few extra as you may find that you change cloth nappies slightly more frequently than disposables.

It is much easier to advice on the amount of nappies needed when all your individual circumstances are taken into consideration, which is why I always welcome email enquires about this matter. If you would like a more detailed advice letter then please contact me here.
