Diapering
I always buy size two or three as that seems to be the size I used the most!
For families that prefer a different diaper option. Once again I always bring size three because it’s a size most people do not buy, and a size that babies spend a lot of time in.

I always buy size three diapers. Everyone seems to buy newborn or size 1, but it is so nice to have size three stashed away. Plus for me it was the size my kids were in the longest.
