Diapers: Cloth? Disposable?
Wipes: What works for you and your family?

Feel free to resurrect this thread as needed.
Re: Product Spotlight: Diapering
My second daughter got a horrific yeast rash from pampers sensitive wipes. Like ... didn't sleep for months she was in so much pain because it caused an eczema flare on her tender baby bits and she cried non stop for months. She had such bad rashes for years that she had to wear a onesie until she was out of diapers at 2.
We use those wipes as well.
My two favorite diapering products are CeraVe baby ointment. Aquaphor equals eczema and rash in this house. Plain blue tub of desitin with one of those baby butt paddles has become my go to. I also always and I mean ALWAYS keep monistat 7 on hand. Yeast rashes are vicious. Some doctors send you to lotrimin or them but that's an expensive tiny tube and it isn't always effective. Monistat works like a charm.
We’ll do disposable for the early days though because the diapers we have would be too big.
We have the hatch baby changing pad/scale because everyone was obsessed with how much DD was drinking and it gave us peace of mind that she was gaining. But if you don’t want the scale option I still loved having a wipe clean changing pad versus having to wash a changing pad cover.
Wipes: My favorite wipes have been the water wipes, but they are a little pricey, so we usually just get target brand, but will definitely get a box of water wipes for the newborn stage.
Diaper Rash treatment: Boudreaux’s butt paste. It works wonders
Any opinions on Kirkland (Costco) diapers and fragrance-free wipes?
Our crib has a change table attached and we use that all the time (he's too squiggly on the floor/bed, but stays put on the table). We also have a skip hop portable changing pad we keep in the car with a coue diapers and wipes.
We use Pampers Pure for diapers and wipes. My kids have super sensitive skin, and these have done well for us.
