Which diapers are the best?

Which diapers are the best? 

With so many different types of diapers out  there it can be hard to know which is the best! I have done

extensive research, compiled reviews and taken advice from other mothers to bring you the best list. First I will list the standard (most popular/expensive) and then list your other options below. I hope you find this helpful! (Note that all babies are different, a diaper that might fit a chicken legged baby well will not necessarily work as well for a baby that has chubby legs. Not to mention that some babies are more sensitive to materials than others. This list is meant to be a guide but you may be better off trying each brand to see what works best for you and your baby in particular.)

The Standard 

Pampers Swaddlers 

Most moms agree that for a newborn baby Pampers Swaddlers are hands down the best choice! The "newborn" size has an umbilical cord cut out for extra comfort when changing around the umbilical cord stump before it falls off. They are absorbent and blanket soft on babies skin. It is very important to remember that the dryer that baby stays the less likely they are to get a rash or infection.

Other options 

 The majority of mothers are about 50/50 between Huggies Overnight and Pampers Cruisers for the next step up in your babies diapering  ( IE: When bowel movements solidify and baby becomes more mobile). It really is a case of whatever works best for your babe's particular size, shape and skin sensitivity level but both mark high on the scale. Luv's have very mixed reviews, some mothers swear by them but I have read many reviews of mothers, "hating" them. If Luvs do work for you consider it a score they are typically much more inexpensive than Huggies or Pampers and they are still a highly praised name brand.

Remember that you can contact the diaper companies, Luvs, Huggies, Pampers and so on and request a sample diaper that they will gladly send to you. (Most of the time they will provide free shipping but occasionally you might have to pay a dollar or two.) This way you can test the diapers out before stock piling!

Store Brands  

If your baby does not have super sensitive skin then store brands can be a GREAT option for you! There is an increased reporting in mothers that with the cheaper, or generic store brands their babies have had increased rashing and blistering. Other mothers have reported that these brands are every bit as good as the name brands, I highly recommend that you be as unbiased as possible. Start with a SMALL package of every brand you can get your hands on and just try them out! You could be very surprised and end up saving a TON of money.

There is another option!!! 

 Cloth diapers can be another amazing option that many moms may not think of. Check out this link for more information on cloth diapering! http://www.realdiaperassociation.org/diaperfacts.php It can have MANY benefits! You can save thousands, um yes, I said THOUSANDS of dollars a year from these babies, not to mention they are free of harsh chemicals and VERY good for the environment! You can buy some adorable cloth diapers on Amazon for pretty cheap. Or you can buy the pattern yourself!
