Seems u er in lag, I didn't buy mine in lag. You can Google it to check the one closest to you. Na Google map carry me reach d store.

Thanks mama's. The reason I'm asking is that they recommend changing diapers often, like 6 times a day. This is to avoid diaper rash and having to buy treatment creams which are pricey. But if you can buy disposables for N4000 per month, it should be easy to change that often, right?

I guess it depends on d kind of diaper. My son uses pampers swaddlers size 4 with 144 in a carton. He uses maximum of 3 a day that's only if he poops during d day or over drinks water. Otherwise he uses 2 daily because it's 12hours protection. D diaper absorbs d urine so well that one would wonder how many times he actually urinated.

Goin by my calculations he uses one carton in 6-8weeks. He has never had diaper rash. I use blue seal vaseline as d protective cream on his butt.

Golden morn can be given from 1yr and above. I read severally that it's from 3yrs but that's not true because it's not stated on d pack. I had to read d write up on d pack b4 buying and it states "Golden Morn is not an infant cereal" d question u may ask is who is an infant?

Different explanations av come up as to who an infant is. Some say 1month to 12months. Others say 1month to 24months. Some say when a child starts walking. So it actually depends. I started givin my son golden morn at 14months and watched how he took it and if he reacted. He took it well without any reactions so I continued.

Thanks. I've used Pampers Swaddlers (disliked them so much I didn't bother using it up ). However I'm surprised you're using just 3 per day: that their dri-weave on the diaper tends to leave marks or pull soft skin if left on for long (I and a few other mums had that experience and yeah, it was the U.S. manufactured ones we bought). Since your boy is. using size 4, im assuming he's passed the stage when he's constantly peeing but pees more volume but less. often, right?

Any other mamas share their diapering experiences? A couple of my friends are doing research on what to buy for their babies next year and I promised them I'd give unbiased answers for a lot of methods and brands. Thanks.

Yeah some mamas review on it is not positive but I av useed it since birth. And yes he pees less now unlike b4 when we were using 5 daily.

I used huggies snug and dry. One good thing about it was that it has better grip than pampers swaddlers but didn't absorb d pee well. Only twice pee and d diaper will be saggy. But I loved d grip.

Used pampers premium too cos I got like 4 as a gift and absolutely loved it

Wow, mothers where u buying ur swaddlers? I stopped using it wen my baby moved to size3, couldn't get it.
I love loved it, it's d best av used so far, followed by d pampers newbaby (UK n Germany). My baby uses it overnight and it was never soggy, absorbed pretty well. No rashes and it never left a mark on him even on days wen I dint rub vaseline on d bum.
Someone told me Asda little Angel is good too, any idea?

My dear I bought d quantity that would last my son from birth till he ll stop using diapers and shipped down to naija alongside other things. I have never seen it in Abuja but a friend in lag said she saw it in lag. Honestly I m in love with it cos of d way it absorbs d urine.

Glycerine can feel hot a bit for me even though it's moisturizing. Why not use that Shea and maybe almond oil or Coconut oil or olive oil, add a drop of essential oil like lavender or rosemary or citronella, melt them all together in a double boiler (put a pot on fire, add water then place your container of ingredients inside. the water). You can even use a whisk to make it nice and fluffy.

I've been looking for containers to do mine since everyone else in my family obtained the last few I mixed.

If you are in Abuja, you can get it in one baby store (can't remember the name exactly) in shoprite Apo. The store is very close to PEP in there but its quite expensive as compared to the price i bought mine in the US. My DS has been using it since birth and now he is on size 2. He uses abt 4-5 diapers a day n believe me, I don't need to worry abt changing diapers overnite cos it absorbs perfectly.
I once tried the pampers baby dry in Nigeria n it was far less inferior quality compared to swaddlers.

I also use the pampers swaddlers and huggies snug and dry and little snugllers. Got them all as gifts in the US and shipped it down. Infact it's been super savings for us. My baby almost 8months now uses 3per day and even sometimes 2 iff no poo. She has never had rashes though I use AandD diaper cream and sometimes shea butter. Her diapers doesn't get soggy too even though she takes lots ofwater.

[quote author=Marisley post=40679568][/quote]

I noticed that too, re: Pampers made in Nigeria diapers and wipes are very inferior in quality.

So I'm assuming Molfix, Angel and all those other diapers, do they perform better than Pampers (Nigeria)?
