'Parent's Choice' Diapers Causing Diaper Rash?

Hello mommies! Today I have a few comments & questions on the Walmart brand diapers, 'Parent's Choice'. 

Ever since I brought my daughter home from the hospital, we've regularly used Huggies Snug & Dry. But there have been a few times I've tried to save a few bucks & ended up buying Parents Choice. When my daughter gets diaper rash, it's usually a little worse than normal because she has semi-sensitive skin.. But nothing so bad that a little diaper rash cream can't fix quickly. I didn't realize why at first, but the first couple times I tried Parents Choice diapers, my daughter got a terrible, terrible rash that was even slightly blistering! (...not to mention they were very leaky too!)

I didn't even think about the fact that it could be the diapers because the first couple days she was fine. But the last time I bought PC after that was the LAST! Her rash got worse than I'd ever seen before & she was even telling me it hurt & crying when I was getting ready to wipe her. That's when I realized it was the DIAPERS doing this to my poor baby! :( I felt so terrible for her! I was using soft, wet wash cloth's to wipe her instead of baby wipes & was using Desitin and cornstarch baby powder when I would change her diapers but it just wasn't clearing up as easily as it normally would. *Just a little tip here.... I found that what worked best to get rid of her rash was switching back & forth from Desitin, and regular A&D ointment every other diaper change. That worked very well for us!* 

Of course as soon as I realized it was the PC diapers that were breaking her out in rash, I immediately threw them out & switched back to my Huggies! At first I thought that my baby girl may have been allergic to the diapers, but she wasn't. I started doing a little research & asking other people if they had tried PC diapers & was pretty shocked to find out that quite a few other people have had bad experiences with these diapers. I've heard of some babies getting a rash so bad that they had open wounds that became infected & even turned into yeast infections! I was horrified at this information and made sure I shared it with friends & family members with babies of their own. 

Tonight I noticed my little sweetie was a little red on her bottom & it reminded me of the terrible experience we had with Parent's Choice diapers & just felt that I HAD to share it to try to help others avoid this terrible problem! I know these diapers work just fine for some people, and I'm not downing the brand at all!- I use their wipes all the time & I love them! But, the diapers just aren't right for a lot of kids out there. If they're working for you an your little one, that's great! But for me, they were a horrible let-down & I think I will stick to Huggies from now on.

I highly recommend the Huggies Snug & Dry, but I also understand that for a lot of people, money is a little more tight. So I thought I'd mention a couple good alternatives. Target brand diapers.. I believe they're called 'Up & Up'.. Are very nice. I really liked them and a LOT of other people say good things about them as well. The other I want to mention is Luvs. They have been around a long time and even though I haven't tried them myself, have heard amazing things about them and plan to try them in the future. Luvs is "name brand" but they're only $1 or $2 more than generic. From what I hear, they don't leak which is awesome! 

I really hope that this helps someone & saves you & your babies from the painful experience many of us had to go through! If you have any questions, leave me a comment & I will get back to you. Goodnight and sweet dreams to you and your little ones :)
