diaper/ wipes, where and when

What diapers and wipes did you get? Size? Where did you get them diapers.com or amazon? When do you get them? I am 27 weeks and not sure when I should order them. Any help???

Re: diaper/ wipes, where and when

Good question... I haven't done this yet and I am 35 weeks But I think I am going with pampers diapers (I think I'm going to start with size 1 for the big case) and huggies sensitive wipes based on the recommendations of btdt moms. I was planning on ordering from diapers.com because of their 20% off diapers for 3 months thing, unless anyone knows of a better place?

Re: diaper/ wipes, where and when

If you are having a shower I would hold off. People will buy you diapers.

I received 5 cases in various sizes.

I wanted to use the Pampers sensitive, so I returned a case and bought a smaller case in NB. DS grew into size 1 within 3 weeks, so I was glad I didn't keep the case of NB. It would have been a waste of $$.

Def do diapers.com after the baby is born...that way you can have them delivered the next day. Perfect when you have a NB and can't make it to the store.

If you sign up now and place an order, the 30% is only for your first 3 months.

I would wait and see... If you're having a shower, you will get plenty to start off! Then you can see what brand works for you and the baby... Some babies don't work well with certain diapers or the wipes might give them a rash, so it's prolly best to wait til the baby comes. Like I said, you'll get tons at your shower, so don't worry! Same goes for formula if you're planning on formula feeding!

Re: diaper/ wipes, where and when

We got a lot at my shower (some boxes, as well as a ton from a diaper cake and diaper wreath a friend made for me) but DD was smaller than we thought she'd be at full term and we had ZERO nb diapers at home!!! I texted a friend from the hospital who left a box of nbs on my front porch waiting for us when we got home from the hospital. Worked out just fine. If you're in a pinch, you can always do that.

Re: diaper/ wipes, where and when

i regisgtered for a big box of newborn, size ones, and size 2's and a couple boxes of wipes. DH and I also bought to more big boxes of size ones...going to of course save all reciipets and see what we need when he comes...

Re: diaper/ wipes, where and when

Just letting you girls know that my sister has bought her diapers and wipes for both her children at Costco. The Kirkland brand is much cheaper than name brand and she even likes them better!

Re: diaper/ wipes, where and when

DD was 6 lb 10 oz and we went right to size 1. We've gone through only 1 size 1 pampers economy case, with a few from our diaper cake. I def wouldnt order too many of one size. She's really packing on some weight , and bought size 2 for her at 6 wks

ETA: we waited till we were home to go buy everything. We used the hospital stash at first.

Re: diaper/ wipes, where and when

I wouldn't buy a lot -

My son went straight to size one and never fit in the NB size anything .........

I use pampers diapers and their sensitive wipes - The huggies sensitve wipes are OK too - but the pampers are much softer.
