We have bought Huggies for the past 11 years...so I don't know anything else!! We had to use Huggies because in the '90's they were the only latex free diaper. Now I hear that Pampers is also latex free so we may try the swaddlers.

I really wanted to cloth diaper with an all in one. But i cant get dh on board with it fully and i agree that the laundry is already a huge thing here no need to add to it. Sorry enviroment! My kids have always been allergic to cheap diapers even Huggies and those are not cheap. I always delt with rashes and yeast infections from the diapers. So Pampers it has been.

Thats exactly what I plan on doing to..I did it with Evan and Im doing it again. Nothing worked well at all outside of pampers when he was little. Now its Luvs but they are way cheaper and when you think about it there the same thing as pampers,there made by the same company!

I love the Pampers Swaddlers, so we will be using those until baby outgrows them. After that it will be Pampers Cruisers or Huggies. My son is 4, so I don't know if they are still called Huggies Supreme or not, but I liked those also. I hated Luvs, they always leaked. Not worth the savings, if you have to spend the money doing extra laundry instead. After reading the rave reviews of White Cloud, I'll try those after baby outgrows Swaddlers.

For you first timers out there, I read some comments about buying in bulk, I would caution you against how "bulk" you are talking about, you never know when they will need to move up to a size larger...my DD came home in Size 1, never used Newborn and was into Size 2's fairly quickly, but stayed in the Swaddlers 2-3 Size for quite a while...once they get older the sizes hold them longer. My DD has been in a Size 4 for what feels like AGES...but the first few sizes went by quickly.

Good point. Plus, what works for one baby may leak for another baby. It's better not to stock up until you know what will work for your baby.

I second that...we went trough huggies,white cloud,parents choice and the target brand before we found the rite fit for Evan! Everything but pampers and Luvs leaked with him. It all depends on how much baby pees,how the leg is shaped and so on. My mom did suggest something about backwards diapers for boys...Im not to sure how well it works....

Grayson wears his diapers and pj's backwards most of the time now! Little shit takes everything off lately!!! So backwards diapers for independent toddlers is recommended!!! lol I think he does it cause he found his penis and LOVES IT! lol!

LOL - Funny Story...

My neighbor's little boy is going to be 3 in May, the other night they heard some rustling coming from the monitor, they gave him a few minutes and went up to check on him. He was sound asleep. BUTT NAKED. They took pictures, it was HILARIOUS. He had thrown his PJ's and Diaper over the crib, I couldn't stop laughing at the picture. And she has been told to put them on backward, so I will have to tell her that it works for you April Smile

I have bought pampers swaddlers and luvs for this baby. After reading reviews though, I will definately try the white cloud diapers. You are going to throw them away anyway. I wanted to do bumgenius, but DH was NOT on board. Especially when he saw the price...he balked. He swears that if one gets too nasty for me or him, we will throw it away and he can't stand spending that much on a diaper to be thrown out! What is it with the husbands not wanting cloth diapers????

LMFAO! I dont know whats more laugh inducing,calling him a little shit or picturing a toddler in backwards feety jammies. Luckilly Evans got such a short attention span when it comes to phases I didnt have to resort to backwards jammies when he was tearing off his diaper. Now his little kink is useing me as an all purpose towel from stickey fingers to drippy boogers. Sometimes I think hes being sweet rubing my arm till I look down and Im covered in mystery goo.
