What brand of diapers do u prefer...

We are hoping to get PINK soon. We have gotten his BC and hopefully this week he will have his passport. I am starting to get a list together for the PU trip.

Nicholas weighs 20 lbs. I have asked our agency the size of clothes and diapers.

What brand of diapers is the best?

Thanks for the info.

Buffy

It's more which diaper fits the child best. When my son was wearing a size 2 or 3 diaper, Huggies fit him best. Now that he's wearing a size 5, Pampers fits him better than the Huggies. I've also found different store brands have worked just fine. I would try different brands and see which works best. They're expensive so if the store brands work for you, they are your best bet long term.

We have tried quite a few....
When Malea was first home nad for months after Pampers were the best for her. She is now going to be two and is 22 lbs and Huggies work the best for her now.
Luvs never worked that well for her but I have talked to people who love them.
Try different ones and see what you like the best but I would take some Pampers and Huggies on the trip.

Pampers & Huggies

My daughter does better with Huggies and my son does better with Pampers.

My son and daughter both wear size six diapers and they are about 33lbs.

We're a Pampers family here - but the Cruisers. I also agree it has more to do with the kid then the diapers. We've been buying Pampers for our foster son, but I'm wondering if the Huggies would fit him better.

We use Huggies for Sophia they fit her well and we have never had a problem. The only other kind I have used with Sophia is the Target brand. They did well and never leaked but they were kind of cheaply made on the sides and I was afraid they would leak overnight so I only used them at home when she was awake.

We've always used Pampers. At your son's size we used Pampers Cruisers. You can save the points and cash them in for toys. However, once they get so big, the only thing that I've found that works all night with no leaks is the Huggies Overnights. They are wonderful sheet savers!
