Don't forget that people may give you nappies.

We only bought 1 packet of Aldi newborn nappies prior to the birth. We then got given a box of Huggies and some Safeway ones. They are all different sizes. The Huggies were the smallest so we used them first. The Safeway ones are a little bigger and Aldi ones are even bigger therefore we will be able to use them a bit longer. They've all been really good. The Safeway ones are great cos you can tell without opening the nappy if bubs has wee'd - I could never tell with the Huggies until I opened it.

My baby was 7lb 13 at birth and at 3 weeks the Huggies ones were a tad on the small side so I wouldn't buy too many of them if I were you.

I'd recommend stocking up on wipes though, they are not cheap and you can go through heaps of them if bubs does a messy nappy and then sits in it for a while. I recommend Pigeon ones - they are available at independent grocery stores.
