Diapers

headersue

I have seen a few posts about cloth diapers, but what about disposable diapers? I am 23w4d and I am going to start buying boxes of diapers now so that I don't have to buy any after my little man arrives. However I am not sure what brand to buy? What works the best? Also I am not sure what size to get, should I just get a box or 2 of the newborn and then buy mostly size 1? I am totally clueless!

My plan is one box of newborn pampers swaddlers. I have 2 kids already and they were big babies and did not fit in newborn very long. That size has over 100 diapers in the box. Eventually I switched to Luvs they worked well for my first and were cheaper but my second stayed with Pampers all the way thru. Hated Huggies including the wipes.

I would try maybe a pack or two instead of a box or two of newborn, because I know from my two experiences so far that I only used newborn for a week or two at most, and I didn't have really big babies either. JMO.

Well we are already thinking that he is gonna be big, my husband was over 10lbs at birth and all my sister's have had babies over 9lbs...So I figured newborn would not be in for too long....I am just not sure which brand to get.

I personally loved pampers and hated huggies. Usually hospitals supply you with pampers at the beginning as well. I used newborn diapers for well over a month, but everyone is different hun. if you think she will be big, id say get one box of newborn 3+ boxes of size 1 and 2+ boxes of size 2's.

@MommyOfTwoPrincesses @grnfish73 @Viviya Thank you all for your help. The only thing I know at this point, is that I am not going to use Luv's just based on the gross commercial with the babies having blow outs! lol

grnfish73

If you can, its better to just buy a few diapers beforehand and then buy them after the baby comes. It saves the hassle of trying to return or exchange them, or being stuck with a bunch of stuff you can't use. I'm just putting the money I would have spent on a giftcard so I can get them later.

@laura536 That is a good idea to put the money on a gift card. I may just do that.

Thanks, I did it last time and it really helped out, because I didn't buy any bottles or formula, because I was going to breastfeed and that didn't work out and I had to spend a ton right at first on that stuff.
