Diapers: To Be or Not To Be Leaky?

It's one of the last questions you start asking when you are about to deliver. What diaper should I use? What do my friends use? I had asked around and funny enough I heard that Pampers were better for girls and Huggies were better for boys and if you shopped at Costo, their Kirkland brand was made by Huggies (FYI). I kind of kept this in the back of my mind however once our baby boy was born, he was cleaned up in the nursury and brought to my room in (drum roll...) Pampers! After our stay in the hosiptal I wanted to maintain all they had shown us at home, which included getting more Pampers Swaddlers for New Borns (type: N). They always worked and had a little line that changed color from Yellow to Green when they were dirty. Loved it!

Sure enough there came a week when I needed more diapers and a few stores were all out of Pampers N, so I grabbed the Huggies. I didn't think it would be a big deal and why not try another brand. All that week, leaks galore. I continued to search and found the Pampers. I diduse up the Huggies diapers but with caution.

Maybe the mothers were confused and Pampers are better for boys? Or perhaps Pampers are just better at controlling leaks? Either way, I'm a Pampers mom. We're onto Stage 1 now and dry as ever, which is very good. Dylan even posed for his picture with Pampers.
