So many things changed lately, in our lives, in the world. Corona virus break made us all stay at home more (I won't speak about virus at all at this point). My life in that sense hasn't changed so much, I'm in the self-quarantine (willingly) from the moment I gave birth.:) I just reduced my movement even more (for example going to supermarket once per week). Just like I wrote this morning on Instagram, it's easy to be scared/fearful/overwhelmed/angry but we need to raise our vibration, it's for the greater good. We need to stay positive, open minded, strong, courageous, responsible. This is our chance to upgrade ourselves, our lives, systems we're living in... Step by step, day by day....

Toliko se stvari promenilo u poslednje vreme, u nasim zivotima, u citavom svetu. Korona virus nas tera da ostanemo vise kuci (necu ni zapocinjati pricu o virusu ovog trenutka). Moj zivot u tom konkretnom smislu se nije nesto preterano promenio, ja sam u samo-izolaciji (dobrovoljno) od trenutka kad sam se porodila.:) Sad sam samo ogranicila jos vise svoje kretanje (recimo idem u supermarket jedanput nedeljno). Kao sto sam jutros napisala na Instagramu, jako je lako da budemo uplaseni/negativni/besni ali potrebno je da podignemo svoju vibraciju na visi nivo, za svacije dobro. Moramo ostati pozitivni, otvorenog uma, jaki, hrabri, odgovorni. Ovo je nasa prilika da izdignemo sebe, svoje zivote, sisteme u kojima zivimo… Korak po korak, dan po dan...

How many diapers does a newborn need? That's the exact question I googled while I was pregnant. And I got no clear answer. Which pissed me off. But it also made me super ready to start to count how many diapers my baby needs so I can (maybe) help someone who seeks the same answer.

Why I even wanted to know "how many diapers a newborn needs"? Because I wanted to be prepared, at least for the beginning so I don't have to think about diapers. New mom's brain is like "scrambled eggs" sometimes, especially if you have no help (which happens to be my case). So any kind of preparation for the first baby saves you not only time but it also reduces the amount of stress which you're gonna definitely have each day. Also every month here at Greek supermarkets they have discounts for some kind of diapers. Since, as a new parent, you're going to give a small fortune on diapers, why not save some bucks if you can?

Koliko pelena treba novorodjencetu? Tacno to pitanje sam ukucala u Google pretragu dok sam bila trudna. I naravno nisam dobila precizan odgovor. Sto me je izivciralo. Ali u isto vreme i ucinilo spremnom da pocnem sama da brojim koliko pelena treba mojoj bebi, ne bih li mozda pomogla nekom ko trazi isti odgovor.

Zasto sam uopste htela sa saznam odgovor na pitanje "koliko pelena treba novorodjencetu"? Zato sto sam zelela da budem pripremljena, barem na pocetku, da ne moram da mislim na pelene. Mozak nove mame je kao "kajgana" ponekad, narocito ako nemate pomoc sa strane (sto se zadesilo da bude moj slucaj). Tako da bilo koja vrsta pripreme za prvu bebu ne pomaze samo kod ustede vremena vec i smanjenja stresa sto je neizbezni propratni detalj svakodnevnice. Takodje ovde u Grckoj svakog meseca u supermarketima imaju neke pelene na snizenju. S obzirom da cete kao novi roditelj dati malo bogatstvo na pelene, zasto ne ustediti neki dinar (za dodatne sitnice) ako vec mozete?

I started buying diapers when I was 5 months pregnant. Not in huge quantities, but each month I bought a few packs. In different sizes, from size 1 until size 4. Most of the diapers are/were Pampers "Premium care" line. I also took regular Pampers, and diapers from Greek brands Babylino and Agnotis. Of course I had to buy few packs more, but not in the rush, what I had was absolutely perfect as a base.

Here's the breakdown of the exact amount of diapers I used for my baby, from the 4th day when we got home from the hospital until the day he was 3 months old. For the reference, my boy was born 52cm and 3.450gr, which was average baby size, yet he grew quite fast over the next two months. One month old he was 58cm and 3.700gr, 2 months old 60cm and 5.900gr, and 3 months old 63.5cm and 6.700gr.

Pocela sam da kupujem pelene kad sam bila 5 meseci trudna. Ne u velikim kolicinama, ali svakog meseca sam kupovala po par pakovanja. U razlicitim velicinama, od velicine 1 do velicine 4. Vecina pelena je bila Pampers "Premium care" linija. Uzela sam i regularne Pampers pelene, kao i pelene grckih brendova Babylino i Agnotis. Naravno da sam morala da dokupim par pakovanja (ne u zurbi), ali ono sto sam imala je bila apsolutno savrsena baza.

Evo pregleda tacne kolicine pelena koje je moja beba iskoristila, od cetvrtog dana kada smo dosli kuci iz porodilista pa sve do dana kada je napunio 3 meseca. Radi poredjenja, moj decko je rodjen tezak 3.450gr i dug 52cm, sto je osrednja velicina bebe, ali je u naredna dva meseca poprilicno porastao. Mesec dana star bio je 58cm i 3.700gr, 2 meseca star 60cm i 5.900gr, 3 meseca star 63.5cm i 6.700gr.

So how many diapers exactly my baby boy needed during the first 3 months? 620! 288 diapers size 1, 206 diapers size 2 and 126 diapers size 3 (check the graphics above for details).

Keep in mind that there are some diapers which you can use in between, depending from the brand. For example before passing on Pampers "Premium care" size 2 (4-9kg) I used Babylino diapers size 2 which is for 3-6kg.

Of course, it all depends from case to case. Some baby will pee and poop more, some less; some baby will poop as soon as you change the diaper... In general they say you need around 8 diapers per day, but I never rely on general opinion, nor you should. Each baby is a story for itself...

There you have, I hope I helped someone with this post and specific answer. If there's something else connected to motherhood you would like to know/read, feel free to contact me...

Dakle koliko je mojoj bebi trebalo pelena tokom prva tri meseca? 620! 288 pelena velicine broj 1, 206 pelena velicine broj 2 i 126 pelena velicine broj 3 (pogledajte graficki pregled na slici iznad za detalje).

Imajte na umu da neke pelene mozete da koristite tokom prelaska sa velicine na velicinu, u zavisnosti od brenda. Na primer, pre prelaska na Pampers "Premium care" broj 2 za 4-9kg, ja sam koristila Babylino pelene broj 2 za 3-6kg.

Naravno da broj pelena zavisi od bebe do bebe. Neka beba vise piski i kaki, neka manje; neka beba ce se ukakiti cim joj promenite pelenu… Generalno kazu da je oko 8 pelena dnevno prosecan broj, ali ja se licno nikad ne oslanjam na generalno misljenje, nemojte ni vi. Svaka beba je prica za sebe...

Eto nadam se da su ovaj post i konkretan odgovor bili nekom od pomoc. Ako postoji jos nesto vezano za majcinstvo sto biste zeleli da znate/procitate, slobodno me kontaktirajte...

Here I am, in the living room, sitting in my night robe, writing these lines. It's cold and depressively dark outside, yucky. Almost 9am, I'm awake from 5am (that's regular now), drank my cup of morning coffee long time ago. Next to me (in a carry cot) is my baby boy, he is sleeping and kicking his legs while making some strange noises (we have tummy issues). I don't even think about how fast this year passed, I'm so bored to do the same each year. The time flies, that's constant, it's useless to philosophize "wow when that happened?". It's smarter to be conscious of each moment and present, not to run around like "fly without head" and to take out the most from each day...

I might share my view on 2019 another time, but now I'm sharing some recent photos. For more details, as always, visit my Instagram...

Evo me sedim u spavacici za stolom i pisem ove redove, napolju hladno i depresivno mracno, bljak. Jos malo pa 09h ujutru, ja budna od 05h (to je vec regularno), jutarnju kafu odavno popila. Pored mene (u kolicima za setnju) lezi moj deckic, malo spava malo je nemiran pa se rinta (boli nas tiba)… Ja ni ne razmisljam kako je i ova godina proletela, dosadno mi svake godine isto da radim. Vreme leti pa leti, to je konstanta, dzaba ja da filozofiram "uh pa kad prodje 2019-ta?". Pametnije je da sam svesna svakog trenutka i prisutna, da ne jurim "k'o muva bez glave" i da izvucem iz svakog dana najvise… 

Osvrt na 2019-tu cu mozda podeliti neki drugi put, a sada delim neke nedavne slike. Za vise detalja, kao i uvek, mozete pogledati moj Instagram nalog...
