Since we have twin toddlers, we are used to having to stock up on baby gear for two.  Now with the new baby, we have to stock up on baby gear for THREE!  Yikes!  As it is, some days we were going through 12-16 diapers a day, now we go through 20-25!  We have been ordering diapers from Diapers.com online, as we found the best prices for diapers.  Of course we started off with the Pampers from the hospital, but then changed to Luvs a few months later to save on costs.  And the bulk wipes on Diapers.com with the best priced was the Pampers brand wipes.  I was never crazy about them, they are thin and don’t seem to absorb much.  The bigger they get the more absorbent wipes they need.  Not pleasant but reality.  And the Huggies brand wipes, while thicker, more absorbent and all around better, are more expensive.  So unfortunately we have been stuck with the Pampers wipes.

I was lucky to have started the boys on Parent’s Choice Gentle Formula from when they were about four months old.  Not only did it save us a ton of money on formula for two infants, the older twin had acid reflux and he digested the Gentle formula better than the Similac or Enfamil brands.  Double score!

As the boys got older and started with baby foods and finger foods, I naturally started with the Gerber or Beechnut brands for fruits and vegetables, as well as Puffs.  And on one of my shopping trips to Walmart to pick up formula, I came across the Gentle Puffs and baby food line from Parent’s Choice.  There were different flavors of puffs and my kids loved them (still do!), and I was pleasantly surprised with the baby foods!  Score another one for our household!  My kids were happy and so were Mommy and Daddy! 

I don’t know why I never tried the Parent’s Choice brand of diapers and wipes, I guess it never crossed my mind to try them, when I was trying the line of formulas and foods.  Honestly, even though I know I saw the boxes of diapers and wipes in the store, I guess I consciously never realized they were the same manufacturer of the foods my kids loved!  Ok, ok, sometimes I get brain freezes! 

My mother-in-law often stops at the grocery store or Walmart for us when I can’t get out.  One day, she brought us a box of the Parent’s Choice wipes.  I was THRILLED when I opened the package up and saw how thick and absorbent they are!  And they smell nice too!  Guess what?  I will not be buying the Pampers wipes anymore!  It’s Parent’s Choice for me!  I think before I buy another box of Luvs I better check out the Parent’s Choice diapers!
