Nappy Costs
Average number of Baby Nappies used per day
Before trying to work out the total cost of keeping a baby supplied with nappies it is essential to work out how many nappies the baby uses per day. Typically a new born baby may need around 12 nappy changes per day. This should steadily decrease to around 4 nappy changes per day once they reach around 24 months.
