In my experience it has varied with the children. My daughter could only use Pampers. Anything else she leaked out of like crazy etc. Then I had twin boys and since I had to pay for two I tried the generic from Target and those worked wonderfully. I have consistently found Luvs to be the happy medium diaper. I am expecting in a few weeks and went and bought a pack of Pampers Newborn w/ the cord cutout- they were on sale and a pack of size 1 Luvs. I know I am going to need WAAAY more than this, but I figured I'd just see how these worked since it does seem like each child is different. If you watch, Pampers can send out some pretty nice coupons ($1-$2 off) making them a reasonable buy. You're just going to have to shop around and find what works best for you, baby and your budget. I'd recommend not buying a LOT of any brand until you meet your new baby and see how things go. Congrats to you! :)Diaper Dilemma. Need help and advice on what diapers to use for newborn?
I used the pampers swaddlers newborns for my daughter. Then once she went to size 1 I started using Luvs and White Cloud diapers. We are now to size 3 and Luvs and White Cloud are the only diapers that I buy. (White Cloud if I'm at Wal-mart %26amp; Luvs if I'm at Target.) I hated the Pampers dry babies because they didn't have any elasticity to the tabs at all. I hated huggies because my daughter would poop and pee out of the sides of them. They seem to be very narrow diapers. Everytime I put a huggies on my daughter I felt like I was putting a giant pad with an elastic wasteband on her. So Swaddlers Luvs %26amp; White Cloud are my diapers of choice. Swaddlers are so much more expensive though.
Sign up at luvs.com and huggies.com and pampers.com and they should send you diaper samples. One diaper. They did me anyway. It's really trial %26amp; error as far as diapers go.
when my daughter was born i used the SWADDLERS she was so small around the waist and butt that i had to use premies because they fit my baby just right and held up you also want to be careful of the babies BELLY BUTTON you dont want a diaper to irritate the belly button but its really up to your baby because each baby has different skin and you baby may not be able to use off brand. i used the expensive ones until she was about 3 months old and was using the bathroom more often then i changed to the cheaper diapers cause of having to change them often really its just a personel preference but swaddlers are good so are luvs and huggies but at the same time so are the wal-mart brand the more expensive diapers tend to be made to fit the baby better though just get a couple different brand and try them out for yourself and see which ones YOU LIKE just when people ask you what type of diapers you want to use just tell each one of them to give you a bag of something different CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK
I have been using generic diapers since the beginning. I started out using the White Cloud Supremes (Wal-mart brand), but I have switched to the Walgreens brand, they put them on sale Buy One, Get One Free.
Her babysitter insists on using brand diapers, but I have found them to be the same, or worse, then the generics. Huggies leak EVERYWHERE, Pampers leak up the back when she poops (BIG mess every single time), Luvs seem to work ok, but she can't wear them overnight. The generics are the only ones that work consistently every single time.
My recommendation is to try them all and see what works best for your baby. We used huggies, pampers, and luvs when she was a newborn and NOTHING stopped the poop from messing up her onesies! Now that she is a bit older we go with luvs because they have not leaked yet and they are cheaper than huggies or pampers and softer than the generic brand like the target brand.
EDIT: as a newborn I personally did not like to use the generic brand for her I found them a bit to rough for her skin.
We used Huggies when he was a newborn and loved them. Then when he was between 3 and 4 months we switched to Target's brand of diapers and have been using them ever since(he's 7 months now) without any problems whatsoever. Just because a diaper is cheaper doesn't mean it's cheaply made as someone else said. They may or may not work for you.
My suggestion is to get a few packs of different brands so you can see which you like best. Your baby may get a rash with some, some may not fit right, etc.
We like Huggies (all Huggies that I have tried so far work really well and they are pretty accurate for their size). I like Pampers and Luvs, but I have to use the next size up from what my son wears to get them to fit right. Right now though, we are using Luvs during the day (since they are a little cheaper) and Huggies at night (they are a little more expensive, but they absorb sooooo much better) since he's pretty much sleeping through the night now.
Sign up for the clubs with each manufacturers and try them there. Pampers swaddlers made my little one breakout in the nb size but size 1 and 2 so far no problem. Each baby is different, so each diaper will fit each baby different. My suggestion is to buy the littlest pack of a diaper and try it. you might have to do this for every size, but then you will get the best fit for your little one.
If you want to go with dispoable, pampers swaddlers are best for girls and huggies gentle care is best for boys. You could get diaper service and help out the environment, but that will be just as expensive as disposables. I prefer G Diapers. These are re-usable but you put in a flushable liner. They have sizes small enough for newborns too
I myself LOVE huggies...but any diapers are good.
I bought a generic brand from Walmart when my daughter was ';new'; and found that they worked fine, but I had to change my daughter more often, because they weren't as absorbent.
The cheaper are fine for newborns, but I would recommend a more expensive brand for when they start to move.
I would recommend using Huggies Supreme Gentle Care diapers for your newborn. These diapers are very absorbent and worked very well for my, now 2 month old daughter. These diapers are also great because they have a u-shaped cut out in the front to keep the umbilical cord of your newborn safe and clean! We didn't have any problems with these, but I wouldn't stock up on tons of them, because my daughter outgrew them FAST!!
Good Luck! :)
My experience with pampers swaddlers is that poopy diapers end up being a mess and leaking. I have had great luck with Huggies Supreme Gentle Care. If I were you I would do what I did, and test out a few brands you're considering, you'll see what works for you and baby the best. I had no luck with the two generics I tried, they got soooo wet that I went through twice as many.
my fiance and i had a little one last month. our FAVORITE are huggies gentle care, then papmpers swaddlers, the only generic we have found that we like are safeways Mom to Mom brand. They really work well and are very nicely priced, just a little harder to get them to form around her little legs right.
Huggies, from start to finish. Yeah, they are more expensive, but considering how cheaply made the cheap ones are, you go through them twice as fast, making it basically the same amount of money spent, on the same amount of diapers.
I love Pamper's Swaddlers. I did try the huggies and my little guy leaked out of them. So, my advice...Pampers Swadlers all the way!
Congratulations on your little bundle of joy.
i hear luvs work really well i know plenty of people who have used them with no problems
im going to start with pampers for newborn the switch to luvs because they are cheaper..
I think that Luvs are the best to buy. They are a lil cheaper than pampers and huggies. The generics might be ok at the newborn stage but as they get older they dont handle big messes as well.
I used (still use) the pampers swaddlers, not because of poop, but because they were the only ones that didn't irritate my lil' man's legs.
i just had a little one a few months ago. i used the cheap ones during the day and he hugies at night when he was sleepin longer.it has worked out great and saved some money
