    Depends on size of bub... unfortunately you can't really tell until they arrive!
    We knew we were expecting a 'bigg-ish' baby but didn't expect the whopper we got - she was 4.7kg (10lb8) and she was in newborn nappies for about 4 weeks. One box did us fine, we used that & then went up. I prefer putting them in a nappy that's a bit big rather than a bit small, kwim?
    But if you have too many, as Charmalea said you can always give them away
    the other thing you could do is buy one box, and a couple of smaller bags - one newborn size, one the next size up, then you can return what you don't use later?Most supermarkets will be happy to exchange for a different size.

    thanks girls I was thinking 2 boxes the thing is all my friends babies have just turned one so they wont need the excess ones

    Jack was 8lbs 12.5oz he was a GD bub this one isnt so that should account for weight wise I imagine

    Jasp I dont know what we are having hence the dilemma of how many newborn we use huggies

    thanks Mel OB has said this one isn't measuring as big instead of being 4 weeks ahead in measurments I am right on track I am thinking 7 1/2 - 8 lbs would be nice

    I would get 2 boxes, and if you still have your terry flats you can use them if you run out!
