How many poopy diapers should my baby have?

When your baby begins to use size 2 diapers, she or he will have fewer bowel movements than in the newborn period.

Ordinarily, your baby is likely to poop about 3 times a day and less than 5 times is normal. It means your baby will have about 3 poopy diapers every day. Once your baby suddenly poops quite more frequently or less than usual, take a look at what’s wrong and make an appointment with the pediatrician to rule out serious diseases if it lasts for several days.

How long will my baby stay in size 2 diapers?

After stepping into the stage of size 2 diapers, your baby will grow a little slower than in the first 2 months. Your little one can gain 5.3 to 6.3 ounces every week, and 1.3 to 1.6 pounds each month.

Your baby can use size 2 diapers when the weight is between 12 to 18 pounds. Size 3 diapers can be picked when your baby gets 16 pounds. So, your baby will stay in size 2 diapers for 3 to 5 months. The exact duration varies with your baby’s growth rate.
