SarahMay: I won't be stocking up much on NB diapers. But more for S and M during the Nepia promotion, since I can always change for the size if my baby outgrows it. Not a problem for those ordering from Nepia. Anyway, yours truly did a calculation of how many diapers I'll need for a mth for each sizes, and then I get half of what is required. Not enough, then order more. Will be ordering more of S and M since the promo is a good deal. Even hubby saw my calculations and agreed that 1/2 packs will barely last us for long! hehe
Wow, your niece so big ah! I was also 3.5kg when born. But my mum said I wasn't growing that huge after that. Oh yah, I made a mistake, Eamon was 700grams when he was week 25 weeks. 685grams is Kieran, Bigtoes's baby's weight!
Anyway, for breastfeed babies, I understand that they poo and pee more, like with every feed, there'll be poo/pee! That's why my niece was using like 15 diapers a day, especially during her first 2 weeks!
Every child is different, my niece is only 8kg for 18mths old! She's still wearing M! So she's not a good benchmark, hence I checked out with my friends who had boys.
GooN diapers: I received a sample from the website I sent to you. The diapers are soft, like Nepia, but pretty thin. I read from another thread on this forum that it leaked for some of their babies and Nepia is better, so most of them stuck to nepia.
Cotton wool: we have to get the ones specially made for babies, like the Pigeon, Tollyjoy ones. Either get them in the cotton balls, or those that's in one roll, you tear as you need to use them type.
