I have to imagine there are other Moms besides me who can vouch for being a little cranky at the sound of the 2 A.M. scream! Will you creep into your child's room only to find the crib, the walls, the floor and the ceiling covered in poop? A good diaper will keep incidents like this to a minimum.
The Diaper War Zone - Bring You Poop Shields! My first experience with the poop explosion occurred vicariously through my husband. He was on night duty when my son was two weeks old. When he heard our son crying, he went over to his room to see what was going on. Hoping to not disrupt our son more than necessary, my husband turned on a night light and prepared to change our baby's diapers. He put him on the changing table, unsnapped his onsie and took off his diaper. He snagged a new diaper out of the diaper basket and prepared to fasten it into place on our son's bototm. He quickly wiped my child noticing that my child might have already pooped a little. Then, before he realized what was going on, my son coated my man in poop all the way up to my husband's forearm. If he had known it was coming, maybe a diaper could have protected him!
Getting Ready For MoreWe tried assorted kinds of diapers through my son's infancy and revealed that certain brands fit him more than others. We diddn't just want a good fit, though, we wanted poop-stopping power! We found our best luck with Huggies Supreme Diapers. It was the only diaper that had explosion-stopping elastic strong enough to keep him clean. The Huggies leak lock system seemed to actually do its job.
Poop Engagement - The True Test Of The Huggies SupremesWe thought the Huggies Diapers Supreme were the best, but we wanted a real test. Baby Brian was six months old when he made a decision to test our diaper choice. {The magic? His first sample of prune juice!|I guess I should admit to triggering the episode - I gave him his first taste of prune juice!|He had tried prune juice for the first time. In less than 4 hours, I smelled a stink coming from his diaper. Time to find out if the Huggies were working. After getting him settled on the changing table, I opened his diaper. I was expecting a smeary mess all over his clothes.I had been fully expecting to see feces within his garments. I was SO relieved to see it had all stayed INSIDE the diaper! Most of it had been absorbed by the LeakLock area and with a few wipes my child was as good as ever.
Is the Diaper War Over? I don't know if you'll like the Huggies Diapers Supreme brand as much as we do, but my husband won't let me buy the cheap store brands any more - we're sold! We have faced many other poopy diapers since we first put the Huggies to the test The Huggies dipes do the job consistently, and rarely do we have any kind of leaks or messes. If a leak occurs, it's usually due to the fact that we hadn't changed the diaper in a while and it was already pretty full of pee. Now Brian is ready to potty train, so we're going to give the Pull-up's a try next. If you're not happy with your diapers, I encourage you to do what I did and try a lot of different brands. I think you'll notice a difference, but depending on your baby and his diaper habits, you can see if Huggies Supreme diapers are the winner for you or not!
