Hey there.
I was just wondering at what stage your babies grew out of the newborn size nappy (disposable!!) and were into the next size up? It says on the box that newborn is till 5kg and obviously for everyone this is different, but DH and i have been buying a box of nappies whenever they are on special and it just occured to me that maybe we should stop doing this as we dont want any left over. Hendrix is currently 3.670kg and has gained 500g already (in two weeks). Any suggestions.
i went by the weight of my child. to what it says on the box. When they hit 5kg I would swap over.

Aidyn was about 5.5kg at his 5 week MCHN appt... that is when we realised it was time that he went up a size!
I just noticed that they weren't fitting well and that we were having several leaks. I can't remember the age, sorry! Have some of the next size on hand jic it happens. Also if you haven't opened the other ones, the stores will take them back and sell you the next size probably not the same cheaper price though!
Depends on the brand I think Shannon? We use Dymples and they are 5kg-11kg and they come in boxes of 96.
hmmm
Jaykob is in the walker size Huggies (13-18kgs) and hes only 12 kilos
any smaller is no good.....
People dont believe me until they see it lol He just has a big belly
Jaykob was in newborn nappies for about 2 weeks. He was 4.5 kilo at birth , the clinic nurse told me on his first visit that they were way too small but i was just going by the box LOL
good luck....

Glad you posted this Heather as DH and I were wondering the same thing. Thanks Shannon for letting us know that Crawler is the next size, we now know what to get next!
Hannah was out of newborn nappies at 1 month of age. She was just under 5kg, but they just didn't fit well. We'd bought 3 boxes and only went through (almost) 2. Had a couple left over. We had to take the third box back and exchange it....
the next size up from newborn is "infant" - which is for 4 - 8kg. Crawler is the next one after that.
It so depends on the baby, Nyah was in newborn for 6mths (no kidding), and William was in them until he was 4mths, but my GF had he little boy i newborn for 8 weeks and he needed to go up so for each bubbs it's totally different.
I agree with what everyone has said before in that different children are in them for different periods of time. Liam was 4 kg born and wasnt in them very long. He went into "Infant" which you can get in a Box but just not in supermarkets. I emailed and complained to Huggies why Infant arent in boxes and they provided me with a list of wholesalers(bulk sellers) that sell them in boxes, (plain packaging). HTH
I just brought Alex crawler nappies as they don't do Infant in the boxes. He is only just over 5kilos.
lani was born 3.9kgs and we only used 1 box of huggies newborn can't remember her weight when she grew out of them tho.
she is now 10 1/2 mths and still in the crawler ones - she is so skinny lol
Yeah now I remember that used to really peeve me off that I couldnt buy that Huggies Infant nappies in the big boxes...
Matilda was only in them for 3 weeks 8-[
Matthew was in newborn until 6 weeks, even though he was over 5.5 kgs
I think I moved up to the next size with Violet cause I had a few poo escapes!! So I think you will know when to move up to the next size...
Tanya
Chloe was only in them for 2 weeks too.. she was 4.490 kilos at birth and was back up and past that by her 4th day weighing.. she was only in them for 2 weeks because we brought a box of a hundred and didnt want to waste any :)
i buy boxes of infant nappies, we buy our nappies from a place called nappy world.. and we can get a box of infant huggies and a box if infant babylove both with 100 nappies in and it only costs us $70 so its a lil cheaper then in the store..
we will up her to the crawler one when she hits 8kilos like the box says lol :) unless the nappies start to not fit properly before then.
Lesley
Heather - I stocked up too..and had to take some of them back! Finlay went up a size at about 5 weeks....

I thought id just post and add that hendrix grew out of newborn size at around 6 weeks but we extended their use until yesterday (7.5 weeks) as we had some left over. We had a couple of leaks though. Now he is in big boy nappies!! God they grow quickly!!
Blake has been in 'infant huggies' for about two weeks. We were getting leakage every nappy which was annoying during the night. It didn't dawn on me that he had outgrown his nappy! He was 5.4kg at his 5 week weigh in a fortnight ago and he was leaking before that.
I bought a 'bulk' pack of 48 infant nappies at Coles which is the largest size infants I could find and called Kimberly Clark to find out if they came in the bulk box. The woman I spoke to said they don't, but you can get them in a 100 bulk box at special nappy retailers. I called the Nappyland in Boronia to find out if they have them and how much and it was $44 for 100. When I compared this to the ones I got from Coles on special, in individual nappy costs 44cents at Nappyland and 37cents at Coles.
It is more economical find which supermarket has them on sales (usually about $17.50) than buying them from the Nappyland near us.
I just replied but lost the post so I'll try again...
I bought a box of 100 newborn Huggies for $38 and had a problem with some. There was a hard plate at the back so I took them back to Nappyland Boronia. They were going to refund me but suggested I phone Kimberley Clark as they replace the box if there are any faulty. I phoned them and they are sending me a new box of the next size up. I bought 2 boxes of 108 newborn from Safeway for $35 and have bought them for $30 before too.
We should start a thread of when nappies are on special so we know when to stock up. That way everyone can keep an eye on the prices and sales.
Mackenzie was out of them in about a month. They just seemed too tight for her so I went to the next size up. She went thru all sizes fairly quickly until she got to Toddler -10-15kg. She has been in them for a while now.
thanks for posting this, i have bought 2 boxes of newborn size, but dont think i will buy anymore just in case!!
