The Bottom Line on Diapers

In the confusion of the first few days with a new baby there's a lot to think about, though oodles of planning and preparing were probably done months beforehand, some things have a way of sneaking up on you--like diaper rash. What's worse, you're so wiped-out it's easy to let the little things slide, and some of those little things aren't always so little.

Diapers, for example, are easy to overlook...you're changing you're little guy, what seems like, a hundred times a day. Some of them need to be changed moments after they've been put on , how important could they possibly be? Chancer are you're using diapers bought in advance, way before meeting baby, not tha it's a bad idea to be prepared, but now it's time to buy diapers tailer to you baby.

I've found Huggies are the best overall option. You probably purchases a package of new born, size 1, in antcipation of the big day. But if the big day came a little early, those size 1s might be to big; premmies might be the best fit. Or maybe you're baby was a little bigger than average. If he's pushing 10lbs you'll need to go up a size for a comfy fit. Hopefully, you've also already discovered Little Snugglers, the gentelest line of Huggies diapers, especially made for newborns.

You might quickly discover that your baby has sensitive skin, even more so than the average newborn. Huggies are a breathable diaper, which should help with most problems, but if you find you're still having some, Huggies provides tips and tricks for every situation on their website--everything from pregnancy, preparing for the arrival, to entertaining a toddler. For sensitivity, Huggies recommends usng protective jellies or ointments, Huggies Sensitive Babywipes and, for concerns over irritants, Huggies Pure nd Natural Diaper--which are made of organic cotton, hypoallergenic and contain soothing aloe and vitamin E.

When baby gets going, it's time to switch to Huggies Little Movers to ensure that the fit is comfortable while they're taking off, and secure enough to stop leaks. Remember to always keep an eye on fit. Huggies offers many steps in sizes, so it's important that your baby is wearing the right size for their weight or you'll wind up with a ore bottom and lots of leaks.

When the day comes to lose the diaper, you'll probably still need them at night. For that Huggies offers Goodnites, diapers meant for older children who've mastered daytime potty use but not nighttime. Also give Huggies Pull-ups a try for the transition from diapers to undies.

Huggies offer a wide range of solutions for your baby's bottom needs--including helpful online tips--at an affordable price. You'll find many Huggies coupons available online; at ShopAtHome.com, for example, recently discovered a coupon for $3 off any Hugies product. When the big day finally comes, be prepared and rest at ease knowing Huggies has your baby covered.
