Diapering Dilemma

My father gave us the GREATEST gift. His gift for our children (besides being an awesome Grandpa) was to pay for their diapers until they are potty trained. Once a month I order from diapers.com, my father input all of his credit card information and I have them delivered in 2 days right to my door. Rain or shine.

When Kyle first came home from the hospital I tried every diaper. Pampers and Huggies were my first 2 choices...I know their name brands best and my son deserved the best. But, he always smelled like pee.

So, I joined the "Luvs revolution". Besides not feeling as guilty because they cost less I thought, why not, technically they are free to me =). I loved Luvs! Kyle never had a leak or smelled like pee..............until now!

Now my baby boy is waking up around 2:30am nightly because he is soaked. I mean SOAKED! I need to help him. I have been reading all the diaper reviews and like anything else out there some people love each diaper and others hate them. He is not drinking more before bed, and he still gets a fresh diaper before he goes down anyway. I guess it is back to trial and error for the DeVincent family.

I still highly recommend the Luvs. I also recommend using a little diaper rash cream and a little cornstarch baby powder before bed as well...to PREVENT diaper rash. In a year Kyle has only had one diaper rash. If your baby does develop a diaper rash go out and get the CVS brand diaper rash cream. I can't explain why or how, and neither can Kyle's doctor who recommended the cream; but it works..his rash cleared in 1 day. I had been using the Desitin for several days with no significant healing to the rash.

Kyle has gone a year without any leaks or smelling like pee. So LUVS really can save you money and work, but like anything sometimes you just need a change. Ideally just not a wet leaky change in the middle of the night =)
