Oh, nappies = diapers :)
We had such fun with the cost of formula post that I thought we should do another one of these.
Kendra currently wears Pampers 2. Can you believe she only went into them at 6 months?! I could have kept her in Pampers 1 for another week or so but I liked the neatness of it being exactly 6 months.
Connor's wearing Pampers 3 but this is probably the last bag he'll use as he needs to move to Pampers 4.
We've discussed my addiction to Pampers before - I can't even THINK about putting them in something else.
Now let's talk money.
I buy their nappies at Toys R Us. They've had a special for the last couple of months where a jumbo pack costs R162. It usually costs R215 so big saving.
The babies each go through about two bags a month. If you're interested, K's has 94 and C's 82.
During the day we change their nappy every 3 - 4 hours, sometimes longer if they're napping, but always immediately if they make a poo! I'll confess that with big poos, I just dump the baby in the bath - can't be bothered to wipe all that :)
At night we play it by ear. If the nappy looks full we change, otherwise we rather let them go to sleep. One thing I will brag about with my babies - they are like DOLLS in the middle of the night. Not a peep out of them once they're fed. Plop them down and they're asleep. No rocking, patting, nothing. Again, if there's a poo, immediate change.
Back to the nappies.
So for the month, they cost R650 on special and R860 normal price. Big difference.
To make it easier to compare, let's assume the R/ US$ is still R7,50 to $1. Technically it's around R7,71 (as I was driving home from gym today).
Then we spend $87 on nappies every month.
Is that a bargain? What do you pay for nappies/ diapers in your side of the world? Also how often do you change your baby (ies) ?
P.S. I'm particularly interested to hear from those who cloth diaper.
