RE: Need some answers...comparison shopping diapers!
If you go to www.cvs.com, they have most diaper brands for sale there in most of the packaging configurations. While their prices are terrible, you can get all your info on how many diapers are in what size package there.
I wouldn't just limit yourself to the Mega packs. Sometimes the (smaller) Jumbo packs can be cheaper per diaper depending on the store. Also, don't forget the large cases that are sold at Costco/BJs/Sams Club and also at BRU and Target/Walmart. Diapers are one of the most oddly priced commodities out there.
And Pampers BabyDry are more comparble to the Huggies Ultratrim line. Pampers Swaddlers/Cruisers are more comparable to the Huggies Supreme. Also, many people are very happy with cheaper diapers, like Luvs and store brands. It really is what works for your baby.
I would be expecially cautious about buying very large packages of diapers before size 3. For example, my DD was in Newborns for almost two months. She was in size 1 for about 2 weeks (!!!) and then went to size 2. She was in 2's also for only a short time, maybe a couple months? She was in 3's for about 3-4 months. At about 8 months she went into size 4 and she has been wearing size 4 ever since (she's now almost 17 months).
