Big news
I've mentioned in one of my posts that I had some news! Do forgive me that its taken a bit to reveal that I had a Beautiful Baby boy in Aug of 2021! Please forgive me that I should have shared these news with my readers a lot earlier; however, for postpartum reasons and just being a busy mom I was super late to share. Nevertheless, time passes so quickly and now my son Ben is showing me the world through his eyes which is so sweet and Joyous.
Diaper's🙋
I can't say that I can provide thoughts on all the different diaper's because we ended up only using 2 different diapers' Pampers and Rascals. Please note prices don't include tax, prices vary they are just a general comparison.
Pampers
I personally chose Pampers because I felt that it provided my son the protection he needed. We would still have to change him one time during the night but that would still help us through the night. He had less blowouts in general and that was before Pampers came up with the blowout protection feature on the backs of their diaper's.
Price $39.97
# of diaper's: 66
Size 7
price per unit: $0.61 each diaper
Rascals
I also had tried Rascals premium diaper's, but I didn't like their brand as the cuffs seemed me to be too wide. The waistband area where the rascals brand is printed was also too stiff for my liking-it felt like if he bends over in them that his stomach would hurt, even though the tapes had plenty of room.
Price $19.97
# of diaper's: 40
Size 7
price per unit: $0.49 each diaper
Clothes🙌
We definitely could save more money in this department if we shopped second hand but instead I am selective in the kinds of clothes we purchase.
Walmart
They have clothes from birth to 5T, that are $4 Canadian dollars (they sell out of the good clothes quickly). I choose to buy clothes such as pants and shirts for outside play where I don't really have a preference for style or if they get torn.
I don't buy shoes from here because the soles don't have any grip and are super slippery; they always smell like plastic which just puts me off lol.
Carters
We shop online and purchase dressier clothes or clothes that might still be for everyday but a bit nicer. I do buy all my shoes, rain coats and hoodies from Carters.
I often don't buy Jeans, dress shirts as kids just grow out of it so quickly, and I don't have many special outings to go out yet. Plus Ben is not a fan of buttoned up shits yet. Also once in awhile I buy a toy from there but I try not to as we are not a fan of the selection of toys.
