    You have a new baby? If so, congrats!
    F the environment! Disposable diapers are the best. A Costco or Sam’s membership is highly recommended for diaper purchasing.

    Sorry, man. Incontinence is no joke but I hope you find a good fit.

    In the early days it's nice to have the pampers or whatever that have a yellow strip that turns blue when baby pees, since you have to keep track of that

    Yes. Those in this hobby obsess about everything.

    @brencho in the earlier days it was just white and turned yellow. Sometimes brown.

    That's funny but it's very hard to tell if there's pee in a diaper when a baby is a day or two or three old. They don't drink and eat the garbage that you/we do.

    I'm just scratching my head about why you'd think a grown man with kids doesn't know that newborn babies don't eat the same food as me.

    We have been buying the Pampers. They seem to hold up well. After dealing with a couple blow outs there is no way I'm using cloth diapers.

    Pampers is no guarantee ... I’ve seen my share of half-pipe blow-out poo with my kids regardless of diaperbrand. Like a tsunami...poonami! In the end we went back and forth between 2 brands depending of what deal was good that week.

    We just do autoship monthly of Honest Conpany diapers, wipes, etc. The ever-changing seasonal and holiday designs make the process tolerable.

    @Gaspasser We’re due in April!

    We’re going to start with newborn disposables (@brencho thanks for the tip on the kind with the strips), then transition to Flip Hybrids with different inserts for cloth style diapers.

    Either that or I’m planning some marathon listening sessions that should not be interrupted.

    I spent about a hour and a half this week reading about mattresses. The internet is horrible.

    We ordered one of the Tuft & Needle mattresses. Horribad stiff. Go and lay on them in-store.

    Congrats @Merrick
    Sounds like your first baby. Just relax and be flexible with plans. The convenience of disposable diapers is the best. @brencho speaks truth about the color changing stripe especially when breast fed baby poop doesn’t really smell ;)

    Congrats Merrick! While changing, keep a diaper covering the yellow-fountain-maker at all times. And under the brown play-dough factory.

    I could do a whole comparison of mattresses. It's like audio gear, you have to find the one that works for you.
