On the issue of diapers

This is a topic that I have definitely evolved in my thinking.  With my two older children, I was definitely more aware of pricing, but in my old age I have decided that penny wise and pound foolish is not the way for me!  It's true, you can spend a whole heap less on off brand diapers; however, is it worth the $30 copay to the pediatrician and the $10-30 on the antibiotic to clear up the staff infection that can develop from the cheap diapers not doing their job?  Well, I've decided not....so, it's Pampers Sensitive Skin Swaddlers for us!  When she gets older, I am going to give Luvs a chance, since I thought they were the closest to being like Pampers with my other two . ;0)

  1. I was given luvs when jade was a baby and they gave my poor baby 1st ° burns. pampers where the only diapers allowed in my house after that and they are also the number one go to brand for showers.

  2. I definitely agree that in the first six months of life Pampers are the only choice and I go even so far as to say Pampers sensitive skin. I didn't use Luvs with my older daughter until she was 9 mos old and that was ok. Luvs almost acknowledges that they are for older babies due to the fact that size 1 & 2 are hard to find in the stores?
