Is it just me or is there a difference in size with the newborn Huggies vs the newborn pampers?

So my 8 week old is now out of newborn diapers and in size 1 but when I bought the newborn pampers (because my Walmart was out of Huggies) they didn't even fit. I feel like they have zero stretch whereas the huggies have more stretch. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this?

I’ve noticed this too!

I noticed the huggies were a bit bigger too.

Yes I noticed this! Pampers was great when my baby was a newborn but once she put on a lot of weight I found Huggies was better for the width

Huggies are a smaller fit… my son could barely use the NB Huggies but was fine with the Pampers… I’ve continued to stick with Pampers for that exact reason… plus I’ve had more blowouts and leaks with Huggies than I have with Pampers

@Abby really? My baby girl isn't very big she's on the smaller side but for some reason pampers were so tight but the huggies fit her just right. Never had a blowout in the Huggies either.

That could be why too… my boy was born at 7lbs 6oz … he was only able to wear the Huggies NB for about 2 weeks but the Pampers he was able to wear until he was 2 months… but even now at almost 5 months he’s still having blowouts and leaks in the Huggies when I’m forced to buy them … I’ve never had an issue with Pampers

Yes also noticed this! Seems like Huggies seems to be like half a size smaller than the Pampers equivalent

I noticed pampers and hello bello diapers run small. Huggies is great! We have less blowouts - I just make sure I adjust the frills outward on the bum area

Sorry Moms! Which pampers are you talking about? Because I tried pampers baby dry that are smaller than swaddlers. Everything was going great with the swaddlers but now we are having blowouts and I am wondering if maybe I need to buy a bigger size. I tried huggies when he was a NB and we had a lot of blowouts so not sure if I should try them again

I use the swaddlers with blowout protection… if you’re still having blowouts it’s possible you have to size up…

I find pampers run bigger.
We used huggues for newborn then turned to pampers.

I noticed huggies has more stretch as well

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot.
