Mommy FTW

I’ve been putting Cameron in Pampers since the very beginning (with the exception of night times, where we use Huggies Overnites).  If you also use Pampers religiously, they you may have noticed at the end of last year Pampers made a change to their product – for the worse.  There was a forum discussion on Parents Around the Hill (PATH) about it, which linked to a blog post containing pictures of the downgrade.  The newer diapers are less absorbent and thick, and I found the velcro tabs to be flimsy.  Cameron’s came undone all the time, and the tabs kept rubbing his legs and irritating them.

Well, given my annoyance with Pampers, and my love of Huggies Overnites, I decided it was finally time to jump ship and go Huggies 100% – and I am SO GLAD I did!  Cameron’s new Huggies are plush and absorbent.  The velcro is strong, and grip well even when he is wiggling and crawling around like a maniac.  Now that I’ve switched, I have no idea why I waited so long!

Move over Pampers, here come the Huggies!

If you are fed up with the change Pampers made, but weren’t sure what to try, I say go with Huggies!  I realized at the last minute that I was low on diapers, so I went with Diapers.com because of the overnight shipping.  Then the snow storm foiled me, and we had to run out to Walgreens!  But, for the long haul I’m going with Huggies Supreme Little Movers from Amazon because they are cheaper than Diapers.com when you use Amazon Subscribe and Save (15% off).  FYI – Amazon Subscribe and Save also has Huggies Overnites!

It's all Huggies all the time in this house

Hallelujah!  For the first time ever (with hopefully many more times to come,) my 7.5 month old baby boy has slept through the night – from 6pm to 6:20am.  Let me tell you, this mommy is ecstatic!  Of course, we have been working on this for a long time, but I think a large part of this victory is due to two things.  1) My sleep training book “Healthy Sleep Habbits, Happy Child” by Dr. Weissbluth and 2) Huggies Overnight Diapers.  I think on this post I’ll focus on #2, since #1 is a huge topic in itself.

In the past few weeks Cameron has become a tummy sleeper.  Overall, he seems to sleep better on his tummy than his back – and for longer stretches of time.

Except, we now had a leaking problem.  He had been waking up wet almost every night, and every morning.  This was totally new to me – I’ve always been a huge fan of Pampers, and never experienced many leaky diapers.  Obviously doing all this extra laundry was not cool, so I investigated “Overnight Diapers.”

The reviews on Diapers.com for Huggies Overnights were glowing, so I decided to give them a try.  Indeed, they worked.  I highly suggest them if you have an overnight leak problem.  Mommy FTW!
