Newborn and Size 1: Huggies vs. Pampers

So, we tried to figure out which diaper was best. My mom swore by pampers. Plus, that is what the hospital gives you. We started with Pampers. When my son continually wet himself everywhere, I decided to try out Huggies. We later found out the problem was more how we were diapering him (boy parts facing down). However, I do prefer the Huggies for a few reasons. Both diapers have a line on their newborn "swaddler" or "snuggler" diapers which changes color when they are wet. Huggies has a cutout for the umbilical cord; so, you don't have to fold the diaper down. Huggies are more decorative. Most importantly, though, the Pampers almost feels wet on the outside where the Huggies do not when the diaper has been wet. That may be a personal preference, but I liked Huggies more for that reason. Finally, Huggies has easier tabs to work than Pampers. As for which one has less leaks, I found they are pretty much equal in those terms. Anyway, I hope this was helpful.

MAM Bottles

Mam Anti-Colic Bottle Boy, 3 Pack, 8 Ounce, Colors May VaryMommy's Review- I do like these bottles. They have all of the features of the other bottles, but they are a good bit cheaper. They also are decorated, which is cute. They self-sterilize in the microwave. They also hold a little more formula than the standard size bottles, which is great for when they are not necessarily eating 4 oz. or 8 oz. They occasionally leak. This bottle's flow is a little much for a newborn as well. Overall, I like these bottles.
Baby's Review- I do like these bottles, but I try to eat out of them too quickly.

Avent Bottles

Mommy's Review- These bottles are all right. Damon loves them. They can leak. The key is to shake them upside-down. They do work well. I like the size and shape. They have your standard features of anti-colic and supposedly do not leak. There are not as many pieces as Dr. Brown's bottles. They are easy to clean. The pacifiers are great and they work with most pacifier clips. Overall, I would buy these bottles again.
Baby's Review- I love these bottles! They are my favorite.
