I found that with swaddlers or cruisers his pants would often feel damp. He's 14m but we've been using babydry since he was out of the newborn size. We do use Huggies Overnights for nightime though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1215578 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 11:12:28 +0000 cascademom 1215578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Swaddlers. For nighttime, we use Pampers Extra Protection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1215561 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 11:03:43 +0000 mediagirl 1215561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Baby Dry because they're the cheapest normally. I just go by price per diaper. The newest batches have a strong baby powder smell to them but they still work great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1215559 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 11:02:46 +0000 tinypiglet 1215559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No great suggestions from me. When blowouts happen frequently, though, I have learned it is usually time to go up a size. It is worth a try! Maybe just get a small pack, or take a few from a friend to try and see what you think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1205622 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 23:10:28 +0000 QBbride 1205622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, maybe I don't need to go up in size?! Any other suggestions then?? </p> <p>He poops up the back every time he poops. He has a long torso so the absorbent part of the diaper is below the top of his bum crack. I switched from Pampers to Huggies because of the elastic back, but it hasn't helped since the elastic back is sort of below his bum (like a plumbers crack)! </p> <p>@Tinypiglet<br /> @travellingbee:<br /> @Smurfette: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1204129 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 09:52:12 +0000 bunnylove08 1204129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt cruisers held more pee than baby dry. we always had leaks and sometimes DD's clothes would be damp with baby dry. </p> <p>She did have the occasional leak with cruisers (she is a tummy sleeper) and we just went a size up and it worked for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1204067 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 09:31:53 +0000 Mrsbells 1204067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 5 months I would stick to swaddlers, but in my case by the time my LO was in size 4 she was much older and was mobile and so I preferred cruisers because they have the stretchy back which is better for mobile babies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1204047 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 09:26:05 +0000 shinymama 1204047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rrachael: They just felt rougher {if that makes any sense} and he leaked ALL the time in them.

He started waking up with wet PJs if I left him in the Swaddlers overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1203569 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 22:55:47 +0000 rrachael 1203569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd is 10 months/18.5ish lbs and we use swaddlers during the day and baby dry at night. I bought one pack of cruisers when she started crawling but didn't love them ... We might try again now that she's starting to walk though!<br /> @shinymama: why do you hate baby dry? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1203566 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 22:51:35 +0000 Mommy Finger 1203566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 21 lbs and we're still in size 3's during the day.

R is almost 17lbs and we just started using size 3. We were using Pamper Swaddlers but I think they were making her itch down there. We do use pampers overnight and they work great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1203355 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 21:14:42 +0000 travellingbee 1203355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 8 months, 20lbs and still in swaddlers size 3. At night we do overnights and if he doesn't nurse overnight or only a little, he's fine. He only pees out when he has a nursing marathon overnight like when he's sick. 3s don't even start until 16lbs right? So I can't imagine he'd need 4s! I think rather than go up a size, you need to find a diaper that fits him better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1203346 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 21:07:42 +0000 matador84 1203346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we love swaddlers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1203344 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 21:06:44 +0000 lavender 1203344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use baby dry's (size 4) at night and Target's brand during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1203253 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 20:21:02 +0000 bunnylove08 1203253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use to use cruisers soft like swaddled but cheaper and you get a little more. Dd started to get an allergic reaction to the diapers with gel so we switched her to target up and up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1203182 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 19:45:00 +0000 tinypiglet 1203182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kiddo is 15 pounds and still in size 2s. Is your son in 3s (and about to be in 4s) mostly because of the heavy wetting? (I'm wondering if I need to size up soon!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1202771 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:34:12 +0000 QBbride 1202771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies. Do you think they all hold the same amount of pee?? My son is a really heavy wetter, I've been using Huggies overnights at night and I still have to change them before he's up for the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1202703 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:11:20 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1202703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked the same question and got swaddlers as the answer. But my friend also gave me some cruisers and for my little crawler, the cruisers have a much better fit. Pre-crawling, swaddlers are great, afterwards I would switch to cruisers. (I don't know what baby dry are.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1202687 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:08:11 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1202687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whichever is on sale when I need them. Swaddlers weren't available in Canada when we switched. I haven't noticed much difference between cruisers and baby dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1202683 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:05:52 +0000 Candy_nee 1202683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use baby dry all the time.

We didn't switch to size 4 until recently (he's 12 months and 21.5 lbs) but we went with Cruisers since he's walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1202554 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 15:20:03 +0000 shinymama 1202554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used both Swaddlers and Cruisers, and we buy them at Sam's Club, so they decide for us based on what they carry. I hate, HATE Baby Dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1202534 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 15:16:12 +0000 edelweiss 1202534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i couldn't find size 4 swaddlers when LO started wearing size 4, so we have only tried cruisers and baby dry. i like the cruisers a little better, they seem a little softer to me, but that could all be in my head. LO certainly didn't express a preference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1202528 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 15:15:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 1202528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 5 months I would stick with Swaddlers. We are still in them at 13 months and have never had an issue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1202525 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 15:15:11 +0000 LC 1202525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for Swaddlers because he's only 5 months. The Swaddlers are nice and soft for a little one. </p> <p>My LO is 19 months and still in size 4, but we switched to Cruisers once she was walking (13 months or so). </p>
