Does anyone have the numbers of how many diapers

I was wondering if anyone had the number of diapers and cost it is for the first year for twins and also on formula too. If you know of a website that has it that would be great. THank you so much.

Well, it totally depends on the price of the diapers and the formula.

Here's a chart that you might be able to decipher - it just has the average cost of raising a single child: http://conception.parenthood.com/crc2006_chart.html

This says that baby's use 8,000 to 10,000 diapers in 2-3 years of time: http://www.attachmentmoms.com/cloth-diaper-review.html

Here's our formula feeding guide. You'll have to do some math but you could figure our what the average is from this: http://www.twinstuff.com/wiki/index.php?ti...a_Feeding_Guide

I hope some of this helps!

 

We used about 100 diapers per week for the first couple of months. 4 cans of formula last us about 2 weeks.

 

Right now at 6 months (almost 7 I guess) we are buying diapers from 1800diapers.com and we are spending about $75 every three weeks. This total included Huggies overnights for three weeks or more, wipes for about 2 months and Pampers babyfit size 3 enough for 3 weeks! Hope this helps.

 

I spend $18.51 per week on diapers and spent $132 per month on Formula (powdered Isomil)....the formula amount started tapering off the more solids they ate and the last case of formula I bought them at 10 months lasted until they hit a year and milk...

 

We spend $64 a month on diapers. That's $768 a year and we breastfeed, so no help there... sorry.

 

We spend about $20 a week on diapers (with coupons and sale prices!). We always buy Pampers though so you probably could do it a little cheaper.

We breastfeed so I cant' help with formula.

Good Luck.

 

From 6-12 months, I was spending about $125/month on diapers, formula, and wipes. This was Costco brand formula, diapers, and wipes. Prior to that, we were on Neosure and spending much more.

 

We cloth diaper and go through about 24 diapers/day. We've spent around $500 on diapers and this should last us until they potty train. Also, we have some friends that gave us their cloth diapers, so we're really set.

No help on the formula. My twins are mostly bf'd but we also use some formula and they take solids.

Oh, about wipes. There's no need to buy any unless you really want to! It works just as well if you keep some paper towels (preferably the perforated kind that you can tear off in smaller pieces) and a squirt bottle. So much cheaper! (Of course, I use cloth wipes and like them even better, but you wouldn't want to do cloth wipes if you're doing disposable diapers).
