A journey through the wild ride of being a first time mother

You can read every book on the shelf about being a parent and what to expect with your new baby, but the only true preparation is experiencing it first hand.

Diapers

I should have made this post like a year or 2 ago. Although Kendall is potty trained, she still hasn't quite got bedtime down yet so she still wears a diaper to bed.
She doesn't wear diapers at nap time and usually doesn't have any accidents. 

Diapers are expensive!!!! When we were going through multiple a day i would buy the big pack but now that we only need 1 a day for at night i just buy the small pack and well it lasts about a month depending on how many are in it.

I have tried all different kinds and out of all my favorite brand that i think works the best is Walgreens brand diapers. 

Since she was a baby Kendall always peed out her diaper, every single night even if she went to bed with a dry diaper or you changed her in the middle of the night, she always woke up with wet clothes and it was frustrating.

I was hesitant to buy generic diapers because well honestly they suck, most of them feel like paper or are really hard and you would think they are uncomfortable. But one day we were almost out of diapers and i was in Walgreens and they had a deal of 2 small packs for $10 and that you cant beat i figured if i didn't like them then i was only out the $10 and could go buy a better brand or trade them in (did you know that Walgreens and most stores in fact will accept unopened packages of diapers and will exchange them for different size/brand??). 

I tried them out and loved them. The first night in them Kendall didn't pee out them which was awesome and honestly as far back as i can remember she has never peed out of them. I would buy these over any brand of diapers. 

I liked Pampers in the newborn and smaller sizes because they are really soft but once she got older i thought they were almost too soft and didn't do a good job. Huggies Lil Movers were my next choice but those are pretty spendy and i would only ever buy them when on sale so we ended up using Luvs a lot which are a good price and worked but wouldn't be my first choice. Then one day with not a lot of extra money i decided to go for the sale item and buy Walgreens diapers and have been using them ever since. I would say they are a mix between the Huggies and Pampers and they are now my first choice over any other brand of diaper.

The price on them is about the same as the name brand but they are ALWAYS on sale and you can get a big pack for $15 or you can get 2 small packs for $10 its a great deal

Whats your go to diaper brand?
