But they keep getting more and more expensive! Looking for a generic alternative. I don’t like Pampers wipes at all. The consistency and feel and smell of the Huggies unscented is what I’m wondering if I can find something similar to. We’ve tried Kirkland/Costco but in my mind they’re a little more rigid than I would prefer. Tried the Kroger brand and don’t like those much. Help! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diapers#post-2922397 Sun, 07 Feb 2021 12:52:36 +0000 winter_wonder 2922397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Am I remembering correctly that Target diapers are good for Newborn and size 1 and then the quality is terrible?

DS is our third, and with our first two we used both of those often without issue, but I think they’re bothering this babe. He had a rash for nearly a month - tried a bunch of things to clear it up and it finally started going away with some Nystatin, then quickly cleared up a few days ago, at the exact time we switched from Huggies to Pampers. Yesterday I bought some Kirkland diapers and put DS in them, and today the rash is back. </p> <p>I’m already planning on returning an (open) box of Huggies to Costco because I took one diaper out and realized the entire box had a super strong chemical smell. Now I’m wondering if I’ll have to return the Kirkland ones too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-absorbent-nighttime-diaper-for-older-preschooler#post-2910343 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 08:49:33 +0000 MrsADS 2910343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 4.5 and still wakes up soaked.

We have kept her in diapers for naps and bedtime. Her naps are becoming more erratic, but when she does take one, she can often stay dry through them. At night, she has stayed totally dry a handful of times, but usually pees A LOT. Sometimes she soaks through her diaper. </p> <p>When I was looking into nighttime diaper options, I realized that pull-ups in the brand we use are actually cheaper than diapers! I would be okay with making the switch (though pull-ups seem less convenient), but do pull-ups absorb as much as diapers? More? Less?</p> <p>Also, has anyone used cloth diapers at this stage? We cloth diapered primarily until LO was about 18 months old, and I could pull those back out again . . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pull-up-help#post-2878064 Mon, 25 Mar 2019 11:48:22 +0000 bees_knees 2878064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone help me jog my memory.

Some worked fine whilst others were hard and crunchy. I assumed it was because they were old and had been out of the package for over a year but then I receieved a brand new box of huggies last week and the new diapers are also hard and crunchy! What gives? </p> <p>I have never experienced that with new diapers straight out of the box. I've only been using huggies for a few months, I had previously always used pampers and I never had this issue with new diapers. Is this common? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-with-diaper-changes#post-2870555 Tue, 05 Feb 2019 18:30:31 +0000 JJ2626 2870555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure where to post this but...our 11mo LO hates getting her diaper changed! It’s not actually the diaper but she refuses to lay still and it’s becoming really stressful especially when it’s poop. She just rolls and crawls away and if we hold her she squirms and screams. Sometimes I am almost in tears! We try toys, books, remote controls (ha) and nothing works to distract her. Sometimes we resort to the iPhone and even that isn’t fool proof. We have our ILs in town this week and they’ve offered to watch her but I don’t think they’ll be able to change her diaper. She can’t stand without holding on to something yet so doing it standing works ok once we’ve wiped but I can’t wipe her while she’s standing. Is there a secret tip out there? Or can you at least tell me this will get better as she gets older? I’m losing it!

I’ve tried Pampers and the original Pull-Ups and I just don’t love the fit. LO had a blow out in the Pull-Ups brand that resulted in daycare having to change his top half. Blow outs period are just unusual, I can count on one hand how many he’s had in his entire life. He’s had leaks with both kinds. Both kinds we tried leave red marks on him. We bought 2/3 size, which is compatable with his pants. </p> <p>What’s your recommendation?</p> <p>ETA: the marks are not diaper rash, they just seem tight around the thigh area </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/desperate-to-stop-the-diaper-leaks#post-2867290 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 09:53:01 +0000 periwinklebee 2867290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyday for the past three weeks, my 1 yo LO has woken up around 5 am soaked from a diaper leak. He can't go back to sleep after, so ends up absolutely exhausted because he needs more sleep. Not to mention that DH and I are exhausted. I feel like it shouldn't be so hard, and am desperate for a solution, as it is really affecting all of us negatively. </p> <p>The only liquids he has after 5 pm is breastfeeding before bed. He is night weaned, so not taking in any liquids over night. What's strange is that it started right around when we night weaned him. The only thing I can figure out is that now that he's night weaned, he's maybe sleeping more on his tummy since I'm not putting him in the crib on his back after a nighttime wakeup. He used to drink SO MUCH at bedtime (bf + large tank up bottle) and like 12 oz overnight, now he's drinking so much less, and yet the solutions that worked before aren't working so I'm mystified. Despite cutting way back on liquids, the diaper is still super full when we change it. </p> <p>We've tried various combinations of different sizes, styles, etc of diapers. What seems to leak the worst is sonsie pad + diaper + cloth diaper cover. The best I've found is doubling up the pampers baby dry and adding a cloth diaper over that, but it still leaks. </p> <p>I'm at a loss for what to do next - keep buying different brands of diapers and experimenting? I've been doing this for three weeks, though, and yet to have success. I don't think cutting liquids will work, since the only liquids he is getting between 5pm and waking up soaked at 5am is breastfeeding at bedtime, which I don't want to give up. Is there some way to encourage him to empty his bladder before putting him in the crib for the night? Or could peeing so much at night despite limited liquids be a sign of some health issue I need to talk to the pediatrician about? </p> <p>Super curious to hear if others have had and solved similar issues... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reusing-dry-diaperspull-up#post-2847908 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 12:22:39 +0000 LindsayInNY 2847908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has been waking up dry most mornings.

DS sleeps through the night but by 3am has soaked all the way through his sleepsack. I hate to wake him up just for a diaper change (he won't sleep through it, then will need rocked back to sleep).</p> <p>DS has a paralyzed vocal cord, a g-tube and had aortic augmentation at five days so I am very sensitive to waking him up unnecessarily. I deeply believe healing is linked to rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-like-amazons-mama-bear-diapers#post-2843344 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:06:39 +0000 ineebee 2843344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tried searching the board but couldn’t find anything... </p> <p>What do you HBers think of the Amazon diapers?

OOPS.</p> <p>Now this summer - we are going to spend a week on vacation with access to a chlorinated pool for a small condo complex (18 units). I intend to take my kids in again - 2YOs.

O is leaking big time nearly every night. She's 22m, ready to daytime train, but she has kidney issues that necessitate water being available all of the time. So she sleeps with her straw cup and usually drinks 12-16 oz overnight. </p> <p>We currently use target overnight diapers. Huggies overnights leak horribly. Sizing up doesn't seem to help. I've tried a few cloth combos and haven't found a good enough fit to prevent leaks. I think she pees a lot all at once, because sometimes the cloth diapers aren't even full when they leak. So maybe something that absorbs super fast? </p> <p>Any other ideas? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wash-your-hands-after-every-diaper-change#post-2763599 Mon, 31 Jul 2017 14:58:35 +0000 codeitall 2763599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This has come up with my family (my mother doesn't believe in hand sanitizer) and I'd just love some validation if I can get some haha ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recurring-yeast-diaper-rash#post-2757619 Wed, 12 Jul 2017 14:02:56 +0000 GreenThumb 2757619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 7m has had a long term diaper rash that was diagnosed as yeast by the ped.
