Seven Weeks Smarter

So, after seven weeks in the world of newborn parenthood, Jason and I have learned one valuable lesson when it comes to babies:
Sometimes, name brands matter!
Exhibit A- Clothes made by "unknown" brands will shrink faster and the fabric will feel rougher after one wash.
Exhibit B- It takes twice as many store brand wipes to clean a dirty diaper as it does name brand ones.

Exhibit C- Store brands of diapers will not last through a feeding in the middle of the night.

And, let us tell you, in the middle of the night, each of these is critical to getting more sleep! 
 Yes, that's my son, in his name brand pajamas, name brand diapers (wiped by name brand wipes), sporting his one of a kind charming stare!

You little guy is so adorable! He's growing so fast! I definitely use name brand when it comes to diapers and wipes. I usually buy them on amazon.com cause they are 30% off if you do the "subscribe and save" option. It's the cheapest I found for Pampers. I am a Pampers fan. I find that my girls get less blow outs with them. I hope all is well with you and your family!

So cute! You come by it honestly--Granny was a name-brand kind of gal! I know someone who agrees on the wipes but she cuts them in half to extend the box. That never seems to work for me. Yes, I use present tense because Gracie refuses to use the potty. We will be purchasing name-brand Depends soon. I can also send you a link from a blog to get a big discount at www.diapers.com.

Cannot believe it's been 7 weeks! There are definitely lots of things you learn fast. Although, as diapers and wipes go...I've always loved the Kirkland brand at Costco. Love them!

AMEN! My kids wear clothes from Carters, Gymboree, Gap or Childrens Place and they LAST, through my kids and my sister's kids. I've always used Pampers diapers and wipes!

I use generic, and haven't noticed a difference. I haven't compared lately. I definetly agree about clothes. Now I know I have 2 more girls coming up after Rachel it's worth it for me to spend a little more on clothes.
