Exactly, it's stupid. Which makes it 10th dentist approved.

To say that “mother’s milk is the best food” is an oversimplification with subtle implications that can stigmatize parents who do not or cannot breastfeed. Modern formula is just as good and it can’t be understated how taxing breastfeeding can be, physically, on the person who’s lactating.

But more to your point…the stigma against breastfeeding in public is stupid. But the bathroom scenario you bring up isn’t all that common (at least where I am). Lactation rooms in public areas are becoming fairly common which is nice even if we were to destigmatize public breastfeeding since some people would still feel uncomfortable being semi-exposed that way.

Because Americans have trouble with the idea of breasts being used for their biological function rather than sexual stimulation. They prioritize their personal preference over the legitimate needs of an infant. Because moms stopped breastfeeding openly and the culture sense-dead impact was lost. If kids grew up seeing random people breastfeeding their babies it would feel normal to them and they wouldn’t freak out as adults.

And children wouldn’t think a thing about it if people like you didn’t indoctrinate kids into thinking their bodies are shameful and nudity is a sin. It’s a frickin body. We all have them. Boobs are for feeding babies. Men make them into a sexualized part of the body.

As a mother with a young baby, there are not many lactation rooms when you are out and about.

Should breastfeeding women just stay at home for several months?

Or just let the baby cry with hunger, rather than offend some randomers sensibilities?

How is one supposed to breastfeed a baby/toddler without them seeing the breast? I have a baby - the WHO recommends to BF to 2 years - do I need to put a blindfold on her maybe after 1 year or so?

I use regular Huggies during the day and Huggies overnight at night. I notice a big difference when I put her to bed in a regular diaper vs overnight

We just use normal Pampers. My daughter is 15mo and the standard pampers have been no problem handling 11-12 hour overnights! Wondering if we should get overnights, though, after reading these comments...

Yes, we have used overnight diapers since 6ish months with my oldest. We've had good luck with Huggies Overnites. We typically have them the size up from her day diapers. She's a little over 2 now and in Size 3/4T pullups (similar to Size 4 diapers) and we use Size 5 Huggies Overnites.

Yes we love them! Using Pampers Overnight for my 9.5 month old since about 6 months and has no wakes for diapers changes. Game changer.

We’ve used overnight diapers since my kids were doing 12 hour stretches from a very young age! Pampers overnight has contained it all!!! If it leaks, then the size is too small.

Collecting zyps has become my favorite part of my daily routine

Mother's Sparsh worked great for us. It was neutral and not aromatic so I think it's good to avoid unnecessary rashes.

For diapers - our daughter was a premie so we started off with Pampers because it had the smallest size which we needed. Later on we moved to Mamy Poko pants. I don't remember why but Pampers gave her rashes at about 3-4 months. We continued with Mamy Poko pants till she was 2.

On the cost side - FirstCry gave decent deals for us on wipes and diapers. I remember checking in Metro for the same diapers and FirstCry was cheaper.

Cuddles Diapers

Little's Baby Wipes

Softsens wetwipes

Congratulations man! Daughters can be such a blessing!!

Diapers we use pampers premium and wipes of any brand available in appollo pharmacy/Bigbasket, Chicco is a good one coming to mind right now.

It is difficult to tell average monthly budget for these as it will be dependent on how much you use them.

Rascals! They're so soft and almost leak proof (we've had 2 and they were monster poops nothing could have stopped lol) My girl is long but skinny so at 12 weeks she's still on size 1s but no other brand comes up high enough at the back but size 2s are huge on her everywhere.

Unlike most people, I actually really like the new Kirkland’s diapers. They fit my baby really well (long and lean).

I also like Millie moon. They’re super soft, but the sticky part that attaches to the front of the waist sometimes folds in and sticks to itself when I try to secure it, which is only a minor annoyance, but still annoying.

Coterie are my absolute favorite. They’re sooo soft and I feel like they provide really full coverage. But unfortunately I can’t afford to exclusively use those.

I don’t think there is any one brand that’s best because it depends so much on what fits you baby’s body shape the best and how their skin reacts. Try a few of the most mentioned ones on here. Buy small packs at a time so you’re not stuck with a ton of one kind that you end up not liking, and also to avoid them outgrowing them before you get a chance to use them all!

After Huggies worked and got rid of the rash we refuse to try anything else lol. Her poor booty was sooooo bad from like right after birth until like 2 months I think then we realized to try a different brand and within like 2 days it started improving.

Huggies!

My girl got pampers in the hospital and got a wicked rash from them. I also feel like they never fit that great. Huggies seem to be perfect.

Once Kirkland switched, Huggies!

Same here! Started with Huggies and he leaked through every single time. Switched to Millie Moon and no issues now.

I think it probably depends on the size and shape of your baby but Huggies, the Red box, was always the best for our son

Huggies (the red box, not the white box)

Another vote for pampers swaddlers at that age! After 0-6 months we moved on Millie Moon & Huggies.

3 weeks in and haven’t had any issues with Huggies skin essentials! It’s a brown box 🙂

Pampers swaddlers! Still use them for my 1.5 year old. We didn’t like how elastic the waist band with Huggies is, and it’s hard to keep the diaper in place while you’re putting it on.

Huggies skin essentials do not have the new liners. They are by far my fav diaper

We switched to Millie Moon from Target and love them even more than Huggies.

We switched from little snugglers to the skin essentials and are very happy with the skin essentials. They’re so so soft, like even softer than coterie in my opinion.

I would try Millie Moon. Slightly different fit but boy do they keep my kid dry and it's so soft.

Dypers seemed to fit like Huggies at least when he was younger

i saw a post a couple months ago where they noticed huggies changed design , and their baby also started getting diaper rashes . i think they switched manufacturers or decided to cost cut by using cheaper materials .

We switched to Huggies Skin Essentials

I use cloth but I’ve seen A LOT of people having issues since Huggies changed them

If the box is unopened, you might be able to exchange it in store. Or use a liberal amount of barrier cream after every change until you run out.

Only other thought is are you sure it's a diaper rash and not an infection?

We’ve been using Huggies for 2 years with no issues and about 2 months ago noticed that Huggies were causing rashes. We’ve tried a few other un scented brands with no issues. We usually buy in bulk and thankfully didn’t have to throw any out as we just ended the box but it’s so frustrating. We should be able to trust diapers are not going to cause severe rashing.

Pampers or Pampers Pure. Available everywhere and affordable!

It’s so baby dependent. we use Huggies. We used coterie for a long time but they changed their materials. We also used pampers and Millie moon and those seemed to be too thick or soft or idk but they gave my baby the worst diaper rash

The NICU my son was in used Huggies, so that’s what we use primarily. We’ve shopped around a bit and also had no issues with pampers and parents choice. The only ones we’ve had issues with were up&up. They cause a little skin irritation, but even then it’s only when we use them for several diaper changes in a row

Cloth pocket diapers here.

My baby has very sensitive skin and we were gonna do cloth at home and disposables out of the house. He was in the cloth diapers for a week right after his stump dried up and fell off. We needed to head out and when I put a disposable on him he got a chemical burn/bad reaction almost immediately from a disposable diaper. We haven’t looked back at disposables and work great for me and my family

Millie moon if you have target, Rascals if you have walmart. They’re the same just different names. Never had any issues with them especially with baby boys that pee through diapers like crazyyyy. Also great for chunky babies! Those are the only ones his butt cheeks didn’t hang out of lol.
