The average cost of diapers per month is $70.00 to $80.00 a month but can be as high as $100.00 to $150.00 per month if you have twins.
The average cost per disposable diaper is 29 cents but can vary depending on the brand.
With cheaper diapers you can usually get by on spending around $50.00 per month on diapers and as the kid gets older it can be around $40.00 to $30.00 per month.
The amount of packs of diapers you should stock up on is 2 to 3 packs of newborn diapers or 1 to 2 boxes of newborn diapers at 140 diapers per box.
Size 2 diapers you will usually need 4 boxes of 142 diapers per box and size 3 diapers you would need 7 boxes of 136 diapers per box.
At size 4 diapers you will need around 17 packs of size 4 diapers at 23 diapers per pack.
Size 5 diapers and size 6 diapers you may only need around 5 to 6 packs of diapers per month depending on how often you change your toddlers diaper and how often they pee or poop.
By age 3 my son was wearing a size 6 diaper and was using around 3 diapers a day but sometimes he would need 4 diapers a day.
So 5 packages of 20 per pack of size 6 diapers were enough for him but it can vary per child.
The amount of #1 diapers you should buy is around 520 size 1 diapers.
So if the packs contain 40 diapers per pack you would want to buy 13 packs of size 1 diapers or if you buy the size 1 diapers in a box of 164 per box you would need around 4 boxes of size 1 diapers.
A common reason your baby is peeing out the back of his diaper is the diaper is either too small or not fitted properly.
When the baby is leaking pee out of the back of his diaper it's usually because the diaper is too small and it's time to go up a size in diapers and if the diaper is leaking out the legs the diaper leg cuffs could need pulling outwards and are tucked in and should be untucked.
A too large diaper could also cause leaks around the legs and a too small diaper could cause leaks of pee around the legs and back.
You can know if a diaper is too small by placing 2 fingers under the waistband of the diaper when fastened.
If you cannot fit 2 fingers under the diapers waistband when fastened then the diaper is too small and it's time for a bigger size diaper.
Another sign that the diaper is too small is the diaper is leaving red marks on your baby's waist and legs or the baby is having constant leaks such as pee or poop coming out the diaper.
If poop is leaking out the back of the diaper or pee is leaking from the leg gathers the diaper could be too small and you should go up a size in diapers.
A common reason why your baby's poop is leaking out of the back of the diaper is because the diaper is either too small or the diaper is not fitting properly.
If your baby keeps having poop leaking out the back of their diaper it's usually a good idea and sign that it's time to go up a size in diapers.
When poop is leaking out the legs, you should make sure that the diaper leg cuffs and leak guards are pulled out and snuggly fit around your baby's legs.
Even when the diaper is fitting normally it is normal for the baby to have poop explosions and poop leaks out the back of the diaper.
When placing the diaper under baby's bottom, make sure you pull the diaper high enough to prevent leakage.
Raise the back portion slightly higher than the front portion and then fasten the tape diagonally downwards.
Sometimes placing a paper towel or a few baby wipes down the back of the diaper and sticking out slightly above the diaper in the back can help with the poop leaks out of the back of the diaper.
Blowouts of baby poop tend to happen at the back of the diaper where it is hard to create a seal.
In many cases baby diaper poop blowouts happen because of the wrong size diaper or diapers that aren't fully snug on the baby.
Sometimes a baby will need a slightly bigger diaper for absorbency and proper fit even if they are in the correct weight range of the diaper.
If you can't comfortably fit two fingers under the waistband of the fastened diaper, it's time for a bigger size diaper.
You may need to go up a size in diapers if you notice red marks on your baby's belly or thighs when you remove the diaper.
If the baby's diaper isn't fully covering your baby's bottom, choose a bigger size.
And if your baby is wearing the wrong size diaper, you are in for more diaper poop blowouts.
And also if the baby's diaper is too small, the diaper won't be able to contain your baby's poop and lead to poop blowouts.
And on the other hand if the baby's diaper is too large, it may cause gaps and lead to leaks, especially around the diaper leg cuffs.
