If this were going for a monthly basis i'd buy four boxes of diapers. Seeing that a newborn uses 6 a day, and there are 48 in a box, it would take 8 days for you to run out. So if you were to buy 4 boxes you would have 192 in total, and it would take 32 days to run out. Since they are $7 a piece you would multiply by 4 to get $28.00 for a months worth of diapers. I hope this helps :)
