What is your favorite brand / type of diapers, wipes, formula, baby food?

Question

Just curious to see what other parents use.

I use Pampers Swaddlers, Pampers sensitive skin wipes, GoodStart (when it's not breastmilk), and my baby's too young for baby food.

Answer 1

Huggies & Pampers leaked for me (my son was only 5 lbs.) so i used luvs when he was newborn but now i can't use them because they have no flexibility and don't stretch so i use Wegmans brand (Grocery store) their the cheapest and the best ive ever used.

Answer 2

I tried almost every kind of diaper and I'm set on pampers my kid is 6 1/2 months and already in size 4!! For wipes I use the Target brand they're cheap and they work.. For formula I use Parents Choice from Wal-Mart - now I realize how cheap I really am!! But seriously, my son is very healthy and formula is formula it all has to be approved by the FDA - They regulate everything that's in it. The wipes work really great too, I think they make a sensitive wipe - not sure. Baby food, I've been using Gerber and making some when I can... I kind of have a whole list of favorites, from huggies conditioner, Johnsons body wash, Johnson's cocoa and shae butter lotion. I always use Vaseline on his face b/c it gets so dry. For diaper rashes I use Lotramin (suppose to be for athlete's foot) it works great on a diaper rash that just doesn't want to go away... Anyway that's my take.. Good luck with baby!!

Answer 3

Diapers: Teddy's Choice or Teddy's Choice Ultra (from Superstore) - they work just as well as the brand name Huggies or Pampers for my son and they are 12.97 a package
Wipes: What every is on sale for sensitive skin, we are using Huggies right now and I do find that they are a bit thicker than the generic ones but thicker does not wipe any better
Formula: We breast and bottle feed. For formula we use President't Choice Soy with AHA and ARA. We switched to soy because my son was getting a rash from all the brand name formulas. And the FDA regulates formula content so he is not missing out on anything by not getting the brand name stuff. I would rather save the money and put it away for his education. (Now that is where the real money is spent:)!)
Baby Food: too young but I plan to make most of my own.

Answer 4

Diapers = loved the Pampers Swaddlers and the Pampers Cruisers. I also like Huggies, but not Huggies Supreme. The Pampers tended to give my son a rash, though. I found that White Cloud (Wal-Mart brand) also worked well and fit like Pampers BabyDry or Luvs. The only problem I had with them was that they leaked. The babysitter uses them on him, though, and she doesn't have a problem. It might have been how I put them on him. Definitely worth trying, though, and MUCH cheaper.

Wipes= Pampers Sensitive, and Parent's Choice Sensitive (Wal-Mart brand).

Baby Food= I think I used DelMonte. I liked all the baby food brands that I tried.

Formula= I used Isomil Soy after breast milk because my son had reflux. This worked great! Then, after the reflux issues, we went to Good Start. This was also great, and they offer great coupons when you sign up on their website.

Answer 5

Pampers Swaddlers (then Pampers Cruisers when baby gets older), Huggies Wipes (Seemed thicker than Pampers), Similac Advance formula and Gerber baby food.

Hope that helps!

Answer 6

I use Parents Choice :) for all of it. Sorry but I'm not going to spend extra money on something that's pretty much the same. Also my youngest seems to be allergic to pretty much any other type of diaper. For a big pack of diapers it costs $10 instead of the 20-30 of "name-brands." The big can of formula is also $10 instead of the $20 for SImilac (all formulas are federally mandated to have the same nutrients). And the wipes are about $.98 for a refill pack of 80. Why would anyone want to spend extra money just to get a brand name? I've never understood this, not even as a teenager and I went to high school in the 90s when designer brands were "in" lol

Answer 7

Pampers Swaddlers are the only ones that fit his little butt...he leaks out of everything else...especially Huggies!! Those are the worst..."baby shaped" my ***...lol Pampers Swaddlers are the only way to go... We do however use Huggies sensative wipes and we only feed breastmilk...I did however buy a box of liquid formula incase something happens to me and there's an emergency and the brand I bought was good start...

Answer 8

My favorite brands for diapers: Luvs (We switch on and off Pampers when they're on sale) Wipes: I'm using the store brand Parent's Choice because they come in a bigger box (and we all know we go through plenty of wipes to buy the bigger box. My favorite formula: Hands-down Enfamil (I found this to be easiest that mixes up real well without clumps in the bottle). Baby food We went back and forth with whatever was on sale. It all goes down the same.

Answer 9

-Diapers, whatever's cheapest that doesn't leak :P Parent's choice work well for me. I really can't see paying for a 'premium' brand unless the baby reacts in some way. When I'm home and have the patience for it I use cloth.

-Wipes, don't use em unless I'm out. I keep a small pack of again 'cheap' unscented wipes in the diaper bag, at home I use paper towels or a washcloth exclusively. You have to use too many wipes to get the baby clean when baby soap and water work just as well (IMHO better :)

-Formula, unfortunatly after MUCH consultation w/drs. and lactation consultants, breast feeding would not work for me, I use Good Start. 2 girls now and they've done just fine on it, and it's well priced (seeing a trend here? :)

-Baby food, I did the baby cereals at first, I like Gerber and Beech -nut. When they were ready to go to veggies ect I would buy either fresh or frozen and run them though the baby food grinder (found in Goodwill for $1!) I feel better controlling what goes into their food. (no salt, sugar if they don't get it they don't develop a taste for it.)

My three year old was kept exclusively on fruits, veggies, rice and milk and to this day if you ask her what she wants to eat she replies "beans, rice, apple, yogurt, rice!" (that's UNSWEETENED/unflavored yogurt, plain cooked beans and rice no sweet beans, sometimes cooked w/onions, garlic, thyme, and veggies). She loves it and would eat ONLY that if we let her, as it is she generally has it once a day every day.

Answer 10

Pampers swaddlers until he was to big with pampers wipes, breastfeeding . Food I like gerber because it comes in a plastic container with lid so I can heat in microwave for 10 sec. instead of transferring the food from the jar to a different container

Answer 11

I like huggies for diapers, store brand unscented wipes, Enfamil Lipil and my baby is too young for baby food.

ETA***Formula is not just formula. The cheap brand may have the same nutrients as the name brand but seriously the cheap brand that we used let me say it again "used" was target brand that's the only thing I have to compare to. And let me tell you the formula was yellow looking not white like the name brand, the powder is clumpy and the name brand powders have a fine consistancy, and the cheap brands leave an oily film on the the bottle. Name brand is the way to go even if it's costly!!!
