Baby diapers/ Pampers swaddlers sensitive

Diapers are an important part of your baby's and your life right now.  So, it is very important to choose the right diaper for your baby. You will have to try out different brands to see which one works. I have tried so many different ones. Most of them were baby shower gifts, that helped me a lot in deciding the PERFECT ONE.  This was his first diaper from the hospital. 
Pampers swaddlers sensitive are the only ones that works for my baby, and I save $10 using Amazon subscribe and save. You can have a free 3 month Amazon prime membership which saves you 20%.

Pampers swaddlers were ok, but they did cause diaper rashes sometimes and smelled bad starting from size two. Huggies always leaked, and they cost the same.  But it is funny how their soft skin wipes were the only wipes that works for him. 


I liked the target up&up for newborns, but I did not like them in bigger sizes. Luvs leaked chemicals all over my tiny one's bottoms if he peed more than once in his diaper, that scared me from ever trying any other brand.  Pampers Baby Dry were just like Luvs though it is far more expensive, and they smelled funny and leaked after baby peed twice.


One other problem was rashes or skin peeling and redness on all the non-exposed parts of his body like bottom, neck, underarms, behind ears, penis and surrounding parts. I tried so many different things like diaper rash treatments which made it worse. What worked for me was Eucerin Aquaphor Healing Oinment which I used generously after bath and some of the diaper changes. It also helps baby pass the poop easily, if applied to baby's bottom.

One tip for buying diapers is look for the next size when your baby starts leaking. I have had lesser explosive poop accidents with Pampers Swaddlers sensitive.

SO, these were my perfect combinations: Pampers swaddlers sensitive diapers, Huggies soft skin wipes and  Eucerin Aquaphor Healing Oinment.
P.S.: If you have a baby boy, make sure you point his little penis downwards when putting the diaper on. This will help you from a lot of leaks.

The life journey of a first time mom and dad


We (me and my husband) are very excited as first time parents of a baby boy. His name is Ethan and he is 2 months old. As first time parents, I felt like we did not know anything about babies and what all you need to know to make your life and your baby's life comfortable. I want to help parents like us who know nothing about babies. I work as a teacher at a high school in DFW, Texas and my husband works as a QC at an oil refinery. We have been married for 2 years and we had our baby Ethan on June 30th of 2012. I have taken 12 weeks off from work to be with my baby. I have to get back by mid- November. I remember, when we first started getting ready to go to hospital, we were really confused of the LIST OF THINGS FOR THE HOSPITAL. The only thing we really used was an outfit for the baby to come home and a car seat. My baby came 1 month early, he was due on July 22. I was running a fever of 106 and my baby's temperature was high. I had been on labor for 3 days and had already dilated. So I had an emergency C-Section, the doc said that my baby could die if we waited. I was very upset, because I was hoping for a natural birthing process and what I got was the complete opposite. I was by myself(WITHOUT MY DEAREST HUBBY BY MY SIDE) in the middle of all the docs and nurses in UNIFORM. The last thing I remember when I lost consciousness was the doctor explaining the process, and my hands tied up. I was so scared about the life of my baby. I was not conscious when the whole birthing process took place. SO I WAS STILL UNCONSCIOUS WHEN MY BABY CAME INTO THIS WORLD!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Life gets more easier once your baby is 3 months old. Just take one day at a time till then.
