Hey! This is my first time having a baby and I know it sounds silly but just a question about diapers. I know huggies is better than pampers, but how many newborn diapers am I going to need b4 size 1-2? I know it depends how big and fast they are and grow but I dont have all the money in the world so im starting to buy diapers now and im due on sept.26 but just wanted to know cuz the newbies come in packages of 40. Thanks!!!

My sister has a boy and a girl and pampers worked best for both....Huggies seemed to smell really badly and pampers seemd to just work best. However my cousin has a girl and a boy and the huggies worked best for the boy and the pampers for the girl. I guess it's really your choice and you have to see what works best for your little skoot

I used pampers---this was 20 years ago--but the huggies made my kids get rashy faster. Like they broke out from the stuff in the diapers. I never used generic diapers, but the past few years both my kids have and do use generic walmart diapers--and they work very well.

You only need on pack of huggies newborn (there are up to 10 lbs) size one starts at 8 lbs, I had two packs of huggie newborn and only used one bag but buy 2 packages of size 1&2 for starters most babies settle in size 3/4 for a while longer.


As for diapers pampers never fit my daughter right and I kept switching between huggies and parents choice(whatever fit elisa better) parent choice is walmarts brand diapers and they are extremely affordable and in the beggininng work wonders. Besides that I love huggies and they fit my daughter just perfectly my daughter always leaked with pampers and trust me having caca ruin babys clothes and having it run down your leg arent fun!!!

~good luck~

I'm a tried and true pampers gal. I never liked huggies. Plus, they run smaller. So they get outgrown faster, which means you spend more money because the bigger the size the fewer the diapers in the package!!

Trey is allergic to huggies and I hate pampers!!!!!!!!!!! Alot of moms from my moms & tots hate them too cause they leak. The pampers swaddlers are good but my son was out of those in 2 weeks. I use the parents choice kind from walmart or lil tikes. They're cheaper than the "name brands" and no leaking problems at all!

I really like to use president choice diapers. We put my stepson in them and they worked great. They were cheap and dependable.

Epinions
I just checked on epinions.Com and the most popular disposable diaper by far is by pampers brand. Here's how they're rated...

Pampers swaddlers, pampers cruisers, pampers premium, pampers first steps and pampers pull ups (girls) all get four and a half stars. Pampers pull ups for boys get four stars.

Huggies overnites and goodnights get four and a half stars. Huggies preemies, ultra trims, pullups, convertibles get three and a half stars. Huggies for newborns get three.

Luvs ultra leakguard stretch are on the list too with four stars.

I didn't see the walmart brand on there to check for a rating.
