A baby typically uses between 8 to 12 diapers per day in the newborn stage. Newborns have small bladders and frequent feedings, which leads to this high diaper turnover rate

. On average:

• Newborns (up to about 1.5 months) use about 8 to 12 diapers daily.
• From about 1 to 5 months, diaper use decreases slightly to around 7 to 10 diapers per day.
• Between 6 months to 1 year, diaper changes reduce further to about 5 to 8 per day as babies become more active and start solids

The exact number can vary depending on the baby's weight, age, diet (breastfed babies may have more frequent bowel movements), and individual habits

. For example, newborns may need up to 10 diapers daily, while older infants might use fewer, around 6 to 7 per day

. In summary, expect about 8 to 12 diaper changes per day for newborns, decreasing gradually to about 5 to 8 diapers daily by the time the baby is around 6 months to a year old.
