I would get say six packs of size 1, six size 2 and as has already been mentioned she can swap them if the baby is big when born. Dgd is still in size 1 and she is 8 weeks old.Can anyone please help me out - my grandaughter is expecting a baby and (as you do !) I am building a nappy mountain for her. I have got 6 packs (50 per pack) of size 3 Pampers which fit 11 - 20lbs. At 5 per day that should last 2 months. Can anyone tell me what age an average size baby gets to 20lbs - I want to get some more size 3 from Waities while they are on My Picks and I have conditional spends and I am not sure how many packs to go for.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

It must be the chemo Di,
I was warned about taste changes - a metallic taste was mentioned. But for me everything tasted like 10 times sweeter than normal. Then after my last round, taste completely gone
Good news though - my hair is growing back already :j
So much so, that I have a kink at the back :eek:Fighting Recurring Cancer0 -

Hope it returns for you JTS, there is nothing worse than trying to eat and/or cook with no sense of smell or taste.
For years I had sinus problems, finally got that sorted (though I still go nowhere without effective tablets for it), but it meant my sense of smell and taste almost totally disappeared. It is returning now, the other day I went past a bakers and could actually smell it The most annoying thing was that I could always smell the stale smoke on OH when he had been out for a cigar. Anyway, it does return, I just hope it does so quickly enough for you xxWhat is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -
Check your CoS app before shopping - a few items have re-appeared that may be of interest (free Vitalite coconut and £2 off Kingstone Press as examples, but Vitalite isn't on all family accounts).
