how much did you spend monthly on diapers
alone when your babies were newborns?
i know it depends on the brands and stuff
but travis says its about $150 a month for
diapers. i thought it would be more like
$80 a month
just wondering what everyone else spent

We buy one of those big $20 boxes every 2
weeks so about $40 a month. When she was a
newborn though it was more like $60 a
month though.

I hope you are buying diapers now, Suzy.
It makes it easier to start out with a bit
of a stockpile of diapers.  That way the
expense doesn't hit you all at once.
Newborn babies go through a very lot of
diapers! It can get expensive. It does
depend on what brand you buy though.

I wouldn't buy a ton in a small size until
you see how how big she is, because they
also grow fast.

Jaylon was only in "newborn" size long
enough to go through 2 packs and the
hospital sent us home with one.
The deal they have at Sam's is pretty
sweet, but I will caution you on buying in
bulk. Babies grow fast. Jaylon is in
stage 3 diapers and that deal works for us
now, but to buy that many diapers in size
1 and 2 probably wouldn't have worked to
well.
We spend about $40-$50 a month now give or
take

The best baby powder I'd suggest getting
is the liquid kind. Then you don't have to
worry about the baby inhaling a big cloud
of powder!

I never used the butt paste, we've swore
by the generic version of Lotrimin for
Kaylee's diaper rashes because all of the
other stuff (Desitin, etc) never worked
for her.
Do you have a nose sucker (lol I can't
think of the actual word for it..) ?

Aveeno baby lotion is great - it doesn't
have a scent, so it's perfect for
sensitive skin, in case your baby is
allergic to other lotions. One of my
friends swears by it.

I love Aveena baby lotion! I've never
liked the smell of Johnson's baby lotion
though.. When I left the hospital they
sent me home with 2 diaper bags, a
thermometer, nose sucker, diapers, a few
hats, a huge bag of giant pads, I know
there was more I just can't remember. They
pretty much told me whatever I found in
the drawers or closets in the room I could
take.

One of my friends uses the bath & body

but good things to say about it! She loves
it.

I tried it and I didn't find that it
worked for my daughter. But then again
every baby is different so it wouldn't
hurt to try. I used the lotion because I
didn't like the stuff that goes in the
bath water because I find that the water
gets too soapy and i had a hard time
rinsing the shampoo out or her hair.

OHH & those disposable wash cloths for
babies.. I don't know about anyone else
but I had a horrible time using them on
Kaylee until she was about 6 months old or
so. They get extremely soapy & it was
just too hard to rinse her off while I
still had to hold her neck &
everything.
