Every future mother knows that how long the time spent in the decree lasts, when you think the remaining weeks and days before the meeting with the crumb. But it is better to spend this time with benefit, and in advance to worry about everything necessary for the baby.
The first thing Mom should think about is clothes and diapers for a newborn. But for a start, it's better to decide how many diapers a newborn needs, and what clothes he should buy.
There is an opinion that for a newborn, we need either diapers or ryazhonki. But do not argue so categorically. Even if you decide not to swaddle the baby, and to put on ryashonki and sliders, then you will still need diapers. Without them can not do even in our modern world. But the number of diapers that you have to buy directly depends on your decision about changing. It is clear that if you swaddle a baby, then they need much more.
So all the same, how many diapers are needed for the newborn?
Let's try to calculate the number of diapers needed for a newborn at least for the first time. So, diapers are needed to cover the changing table, or another surface on which you plan to conduct all hygiene procedures with the baby. For these purposes, just two or three diapers (one washed, the second bed).
Next, you need about 3 diapers to put under the baby in the crib. Babies of the first months of life very often regurgitate, and diapers sometimes give misfires. And not to wash the sheet very often, it's better to put a diaper on top of it.
In addition, you will need several diapers to be placed in the baby carriage. They also protect the mattress from regurgitation and leaks. If you are going to walk in the warm season in the cradle, then a few diapers will be needed to cover the baby.
A few more diapers may be needed to wipe the baby after washing. For these purposes, you will also need about 2-3 diapers.
After counting how many diapers a newborn needs, we get about 10-15 pieces. Ten - this is the minimum that it is desirable to acquire even before the birth of the child. And if you will additionally use diapers to swaddle the newborn, then you can safely add more pieces of 10. Well, the upper limit, probably not.
Even more important when determining the number of diapers for a newborn baby is how often you are going to use diapers. If you are a supporter of this truly great invention, then the above-mentioned 10-15 diapers can be enough for you. And if you are negative to them, then the newborn will need much more films.
What diapers are needed for a newborn?
Now let's talk about what diapers are needed for a newborn. Now on sale it is possible to meet 3 basic kinds of diapers: thin (calico), dense
Knitted diapers for the newborn are mostly not used, and are practically not available on sale. But very popular are disposable diapers for newborns. They, of course, are not intended for changing, but they can be laid on a changing table, in a crib, and in a stroller. Even such diapers are convenient to use when the baby is without a diaper. They come in different sizes and qualities, so you can easily pick up the ones that fit the most.
If your baby is born in the cold season, then you can not do without warm, for example flannel, diapers for newborns. At the same time, one should also take into account that in the winter diapers dry long enough, so they may need much more than in the summer. But in this case, you do not need to buy exclusively warm diapers, thin ones will also come in handy. And the approximate ratio of warm and thin is 50 to 50%.
