I loved huggies diapers when my son was a newborn but as he got older I switched to pampers I feel like huggies run a bit small and my baby has chunky thighs so pampers gives him more room

Pampers pure

I love Huggies (skin essentials) they are soft and have the leak protection barrier in the back and sides
I tried almost all of them:

🚫Pampers: stick to my babies butt when he poop

🚫Members mark: horrible! Too cheap not soft at all used 3 diapers in the afternoon and my baby got the worst diaper rash ever

🚫honest: they run small and everytime he had blowouts, thought they’re cute for a picture but not worth having your baby wet always

🚫Millie moon: they are soft, they are good size and seems comfortable but they don’t have the leak proof in the back so it’s a NO.

Huggies for me! Hardly any blow outs. Hated pampers (leaks with newborn size). Hello Bello. Leaks as well, too big.

i switched to huggies after using pampers from my baby shower. my son is lean and the huggies fit him much better and didn’t leak like pampers. i also really love the poop catcher on the back to prevent blowouts.

Honest .. we never have any leaks. We used them with our daughter too, and loved the overnight ones as well!

Huggies have my babies a rash so up until size 1 used pampers but after he sized up Huggies are the absolute best and no rash anymore !!!

Huggies skin essentials

I’m a cloth mama I will always choose cloth I just think they’re much more superior to disposables. I buy once (20-30) and they last him until he’s toilet trained I don’t have to faff w sizing up or what brand to use etc. plus they’re so much cuter, and never had a blowout in cloth he hasn’t had poop on his clothes not once.

thank you for this in depth review on all, I was leaning towards Millie so it’s great to know!

what is your favorite cloth diaper brand and do you use lining inside for them?

Mama Koala on Ama is what I bought originally (6 packs of 6) so they are the majority of what I have and my workhorses. I use a reusable fleece liner that I bought as fabric and cut them down. Poop just plops off them easily it doesn’t stick to the fabric but surprisingly many cloth mamas don’t use any liner

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

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.

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!
