Note that diaper sizes overlap the recommended weight. It’s tempting to go ahead and buy the next size up because your baby has crossed into the lower range of that new size. It’s almost a point of pride to move your baby into the bigger size. Don’t do it. Keep your baby in the smallest size that fits comfortably. Bigger sizes mean fewer diapers per package means more cost per diaper.

Check http://www.amazon.com, http://www.storkschoice.com, and http://www.diapers4less.com periodically. If you find a sale, sometimes combined with free shipping, you can get a bargain on these that will be cheaper than store purchases.

Check Costco and Sam’s Club. Buying bulk packages of diapers, even name brands, are often cheaper than a smaller package of store brand.

Name brands really don’t work better than store brands. But there are differences among brands as to which works best on the shape of your baby. Our sister-in-law swears by Wal-Mart’s White Cloud. We found that Kroger brand diapers worked better than White Cloud for us. Try a couple of different store brands to find what works best. Look at the cost per diaper to see if the larger packages are really cheaper. Usually this is the case with diapers.

Cloths made especially for burping are not worth the money. For one thing, not all babies are spitter-uppers. If your baby is or you feel more comfortable…just in case…then buy a pack of cloth diapers to use as burp cloths. Stash in a box for next baby when you are done or recycle as cleaning rags.
