Nappies - Tried and Tested

So the ultimate mum problem. Nappies.

Which ones leak, which ones have caused nappy rash, which ones are more comfortable or easy to put on... here are my thoughts.

Working in Healthcare I was given absolutely loads of nappies for when my Daughter was born. We must have had around 50 of the Pampers Premium Protection Size 1 Nappies - easily. They were fab. No one told me that the little yellow stripe turned blue when baby had done a wee! So I had no idea what it meant, or how the midwife instinctively knew my baby needed changing, I literally looked at her as though she were the devil.

Pampers Premium Protection.

I really like these nappies - they are soft and easy to put on (if baby doesn't wiggle too much). They have a yellow stripe through the nappy which changes blue when baby needs changing. I would say in the early days we did have a few leaks in these, but this was more than likely down to being first time parents and not putting them on properly.

Pampers Baby Dry

These are also a favourite of mine, they don't have the wetness indicator like the Premium Protection do, but they do hold a lot more wetness. I had a few freebies from Pampers and fell in love with them based on that. I tend to buy Giga Packs (Asda are selling 112 nappies for £10 at the moment) so fabulous value and they will last the month I hope :) We have had a few nappies that have broken, the tabs have pulled off or the Velcro hasn't been sticky. But all in all these are my main go to nappy.

Pampers Baby Dry - Active Fit Nappy Pants

I bought these as my daughter is pretty close to crawling, the first day she wore one, she did a huge poo, it went all up her back and once id torn the nappy to take it off it gave little protection so she ended up having to have a change of clothes and her blanket needed changing too. They seem to be okay, but are a little awkward to get on, and they seem very tight fitting. My daughter developed nappy rash for the first time in 8 months, it could have been this or the Asda Nappies that did it, though she is also teething at the moment. We haven't used any more of these and the rash hasn't returned.

Asda Little Angels

I bought some of these nappies on sale as Asda was changing the packaging, we have used less than 20 nappies and I am throwing them away as I believe that it is these nappies that caused her nappy rash. She hadn't had nappy rash since being born and the day after we started using these nappies it came up, we persisted thinking it was teething and it got worse, to the point we had to start using medicated cream and as soon as we changed back to pampers it went away. They also don't seem to hold as much, they are rather tough to touch in comparison. Ironically my best friend swears by them and uses them with no issues for her daughter. I wouldn't use Little Angels again though.

These were our go to nappies to begin with, like the premium protection pampers they have a wetness indicator line on them, they always seemed to fit well and we didn't have any faulty nappies. We did seem to have more explosions/leaks with these, but it could have been coincidence. I would 100% use these again.
