Pregnancy, Parenting and Beyond

He would still go first thing in the morning - if we were lazy adn didnt get him from bed to bathroom in the first 2 mins of him waking up.

>> Contributed by members on the IHM Comm. DEE - Pampers Sensitive Rocks..... For size N and 1 ... ur baby is so delicate and Pampers is so soft and wonderful.  I've used Pampers Swaddlers until month 8... Size 2-3. Then switched over to Cruisers. At 11 months, I started using Luvs... its economical and works well when my DS is teething, as he got diarrhea for every tooth that popped out.
