What's the unit cost of a nappy in your area? Here it's like €0.05 each, so monthly maybe €50 max incl wipes. I'll have to actually measure how much we use in a

  I was surprised by the price as well. We go through about 4-5 packs of disposable diapers per month for our 6mo, fewer when the kid was younger (more diapers per pack). Each pack costs $8 for the fancy kind[1] which we get, so that's just around $40 a month currently. This includes 25% VAT. However there's a two-for-one at my local stores, so in reality we pay more like $20.

  Here at Costco (where you can get stuff in bulk and items are usually cheaper per unit) it's about $0.20 per nappy which is about €0.18 if I'm doing my conversions correctly. We go through maybe 5-6 a day for our 6 month old. The number I was comparing was probably when she was newborn and going through 10+ diapers a day and requiring multiple diapers per change because she'd pee or poo on her new diaper while changing her. We've been using cloth diapers since she was 1 month old. We do keep some disposables on hand when traveling and just in case we forgot to do laundry or whatever, but I think we've maybe just used 3 or 4 in the past 5 months.
