Pampers Swaddlers Review

What I Liked

Back Story: I use to love Pampers when I used disposables with my first baby before switching to cloth diapers. I occasionally used disposables, such as pampers with my second baby too, but for emergency backup diapers. And I had no real complaints.

Positives: I believe in starting off with the positives if any, so I will talk about what I like about this particular brand and then lead into what I don't like. I like the wet strip indicator and the soft feel of the diaper. I like the way it looks with its cute sesame street characters and the woven pattern inside the diaper's interior.

What I Don't Like

Cons: We are still cloth diapering, but we've mostly been using the Pampers brand when we are using disposables for backup diapers. Several times I have experienced blowouts with my third baby in this particular brand of diapers in size 3. Baby is 20 lbs and that Pampers bag (above) state Size 3 brands fits babies from 16-28 lbs. Baby is wearing the right size, and the diaper was put on correctly.

I had a recent experience, where the blowout was absolutely ridiculous. Baby had a blow out all over his bottom, his back, and the floor. Needless to say, I would not rush to recommend these diapers to anyone when their baby is active. Followed by this experience, Baby had another blowout where the inside of the diaper was mostly clean, but the side of the diaper outside of it was covered in baby poop. It's like the diaper can not hold the poop.

I have enclosed a photo below of the blowout disaster.

FYI on Greenish Stools: For those of you who may have noticed, the poop in the pictures are somewhat Yellowy with greenish stools. According to Mother 2 Mother, "Occasional green stool is not unusual for a breastfeeding baby, however, consistent green stools are not normal for a breastfed baby. They can indicate a problem: an imbalance in foremilk/ hindmilk and if a baby is starting solids. Sometimes a sensitivity to something in mom's diet, such as cow's milk or lots of green veggies or something in mom's food that has green food coloring (Y).

Implantation Dips & Raised BBT

An Implantation Dip is when your basal body temperature (BBT) dips below your cover line post ovulation, usually said to occur around 7 to 9 days pass ovulation on average and then continues to rise without falling below the cover line again. 3 to 5 days pass ovulation for implantation dips is said to be rare. Some believe implantation dips are myths, because of varying results in dips and outcomes for pregnancy. Usually it is said when your BBT stays above your cover line without dipping below the cover line, it is a sign that you're pregnant. This is just a theory, but it seems for some early implantation dips, may lead to earlier positive pregnancy tests. The exception to early implantation dips theory I have found is that some women get early positive pregnancy tests as a result of having a multiples pregnancy, some women gets dips in many of their cycles that do not result in pregnancy and some women like me don't get dips during a c...

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye.
