We have been home from the hospital 2 weeks and we are already halfway through our second box of pampers. I feel like I do nothing but change the kiddo's diapers all day. Doesn't help that LO screams bloody murder the second his diaper is soiled or that he really seems to enjoy a nice clean diaper to poop in. DH and I both HATE letting him sit in anything either compounding the issue. Is this normal or is the kiddo popping us into the poor house? 
As a side note we would like to try a cheaper brand but have already been burned on a box of huggies. LO blew out of EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. We thought about trying Targets brand but were too gun shy after the huggies incident. LO has a thin bottom and needs a closer fitting diaper like pampers. Anyone know how the Target brand fit compares?

LO is the same. She is 2 weeks and we end up changing her at least twice every feeding cycle. She refuses to latch if she has a wet diaper and then she usually poops while I'm feeding her, so we have to change her before we move to the other side.
-
Yup at that age she poops at least every feeding, and very often while we were changing her. I swear a quarter of the diapers never even madeir on because she would poop or pee before we could and we'd have to start over. It slows down eventually.

It will get better with age! But that sounds typical for newborn.

Thank goodness
I was beginning to worry!

It really does get better! I was an awkward poopy diaper changer, it was so messy and the explosive ones stressed me out sometimes (poop would get on the mat & required a change of clothing too). I got into a good routine by 6 weeks or so.
-
I think target brand diapers are pretty similar to pampers (: I would recommend trying them (:
-
Sounds normal! In the beginning my LO pooped during or after every feeding (every 1-2 hours) and we always changed him when he woke up ....so it was easily 12 changes a day!

@tillma: ha, my lo is the same way
. I call it the clean diaper trick. She will will not poop in her wet diaper, and as soon as a put a new dry one on her she poops! I even had to google it to make sure i wasn't imagining it. Apparently some babies are like that. She is 13 wks old and i just had to accept that she prefers to poop in a dry diaper. Most of the time i find it hilarious because she is so predictable, but it is not so funny when we are running late to an appointment or something.

I hated Huggies and pampers for blow outs! We ended up using target diapers and they're awesome! ( and half the price!)

Sounds like a newborn to me. I remember days where it felt like changing diapers was all that we did. It does get better with age.
