If you plan on using disposable diapers for your baby, here are our hand-picked faves, plus accouterments:

Pampers Swaddlers for Newborns: Having tried every diaper on the market, especially trying to use recycled diapers…there is just no substitute for these!  First of all, the blue line indicates that your baby has a soiled diaper — this is pure genius!  And they somehow just fit newborns better than the rest.  So, they’re really worth the extra cost.

Pampers Swaddlers for Size 2 & Size 3: They’re still worth the splurge because of the blue line and the fit.

Huggies Little Movers for Sizes 4, & 5: At these sizes, you can afford to switch to the less expensive, but well-fitting Huggies.

Huggies Overnites for Sizes 4, & 5: When your baby is big enough for size three diapers, you’ll want to add overnight diapers to your diaper stacker to use at night for two important reasons: she’ll be sleeping long night stretches (if you’ve been using our schedules!) and therefore her diaper will weigh like 50 pounds in the morning!  Of course we’re not being literal, but they do get super-soaked and you want to ensure your baby doesn’t get uncomfortable and then wake up because of it.

Wipes

Pampers Sensitive Wipes: Anything touching your baby’s precious skin as much as wipes will needs to be fragrance-free and sensitive!  These are also nice and thick and easy to pull out of the box or a wiper warmer.

Diaper Ointments

Egyptian Magic: This is an all-natural alternative cream for diaper rash.  Lather up your whole baby with it after her bath too because it helps keep her skin moisturized and can also help with baby eczema.

Earth’s Best Organic Diaper Relief Ointment: This will be your go-to diaper cream, but it does get runny if you don’t shake it up before each use.

A&D Diaper Rash Original Ointment & Skin Protectant: For a serious rash, we like this tried and true ointment with the added skin protectant so your baby’s tushy has a chance to heal.  But if it’s not helping, call your pediatrician for a heavy-duty prescription cream. 

Swim Diapers

Huggies Little Swimmers for all sizes: It’s so much fun to take your baby in the water – so when you do, use these swimmer diapers all by themselves or put them under his trunks or her suit.
