It is generally considered that your baby will be in nappies for

30 months, or 2.5 years

 

We have compared the number of changes of nappy that you need, with the different ages and costs of those nappies.  This comparison looks at a range of available disposable brands and reflects the decrease in number of changes per day with age, as well as the increase in price with larger sizes.  It compares which with the most expensive washing/drying options for a maximum number of cloth nappies.
