Baby is now 2 months old and as you may imagine, she goes through a lot of diapers. When she was new newborn it was very important to change her very often because he system, along with having breast milk, was cleaning itself out and her boobooing therefore was more frequent. I'd learnt about the colors of booboo and what they should be and what they mean so there was nothing scary in what I saw. Fast forward to now that she is 2 months old, she doesn't booboo as much and that too is completely normal especially with an exclusively breastfeeding baby - they can go up to a 10 day stretch without doing so. [You should only be alarmed if baby is in pain and her stomach feels firmer than it usually is.]
So what I've learnt about diapers so far is that they are created for the same purpose, but not created equally. I haven't had experience with all brands, but the ones I've used so far are Pampers, Huggies and Up & Up (Target store brand). I started off using newborn size (box is marked with an N and her weight range was "up to 8lbs") and that was all I knew. When that pack finished I got into Huggies and realized they have a bit more of the texturing for high absorbency...they just looked like they would feel more comfy, not that the other wasn't. Especially now at 2 where she sleeps longer shifts at night, AND I DO TOO (Hallelujah!!), I've found that Huggies hold up the best. With the others, the top of the diaper will have leaked a bit to her onesie along the top of the diaper. Nights when she's very fidgety and does a booboo means the booboo now leaks too. Not cool. So right now I love Huggies. The target ones are not bad and are a great price compared and during the day where she is mostly peeing and I change her much more often they get the job done just fine.
All in all, so far, in my experience, with my baby, Huggies are the best especially for that added bonus of being more absorbent overnight. Everything else is pretty much the same: they all have the color indicator stripe that goes from yellow to blue when wet and have some stretchiness along the perimeter of the thigh to ensure there's no leaking or tightness. I received a sample box from Honest that I will be blogging about that also contains their diapers and some other goodies.
p.s. I did a google search for "diapers" and there were plenty of pictures and only 1 amongst hundreds was of a black baby so I had to search for "diapers black baby" and got better results...there were quite a few non-black babies though
