How long do babies stay in size 2 diapers?

[citymama]

My 3 month old baby is about 13 lbs, soon to be transitioning from sz 1 to sz 2 swaddlers. I have a box of 150 sz 2 swaddlers, and trying to figure out if I should get one or two more boxes of sz 2s before the amazon.com sale ends. How long do they stay in size 2s, typically? Will I need 300 or 450 of these dipes? Thanks for any help!

Depends on how fast your children grow - for me, it would be worth it. My kids stayed parked in size 2's fo ra LONG time. I'm guessing you'd use them.

umm...a week? Both my babies were in size 4 by 4 months old.

i would think at least another case. dd was 7lbs 3 oz at birth and was 50/50 for weight and height until about 9 months and she was in size the shortest duration and that was 3 cases of swaddlelrs size 2. she has since turned into a string bean and has been wearing size 3 for the last 8 months.

you can always return them to amazon she is has a major growth spurt.

Yeah, it really depends on how big they are and how they grow. Here's our diaper timeline:

NB birth-10 wks
1 10 wks-5 mos
2 5 mos-7 mos (so 2 mos in these)
3 7 mos-present (he's now 10 mos)

The 3s still fit him easily. I've heard from others that they are in 3s for a long time (the range is huge 16-28lbs!).

Btw, he was 6lb 13oz at birth, 16lbs at 6 mos, 20 lbs at 9 mos.

My 7.5 lb (at birth) babies were in size 1's for the first 8 weeks or so, size 2's from about month 2 to month 6, and size 3 from 6 months until they were potty trained (around age 2.5).

So maybe I should get one more box of 2s, and one of 3s. Only problem is, I don't know what we'll get after Swaddlers Sensitive (which goes till 2) - maybe 7th Gen?

we swtiched to seventh generation after cruisers had dry max and love them. we will also use earth's best and really like them too. we buy which ever is cheaper.

I think Nathan almost skipped size 2's he was long and kept blowing out the back.

We were in size two for about a week! Alot less time than we were in Newborn. But he has been in Size 3 now since March.
