If you had your baby in the hospital, did their pampers have dry max?  

 

eta: Were they 'Baby Dry' vs.  'Dry Max'?  lol

I have been told via Kara (of Pampers fame) that the ones that are made for the hospitals currently do not have drymax.   However, Pixy and a few other posters said the ones in their hospital did.

Yea, this is what makes me wonder.  BLAH.  I don't really want to bring cloth to the hospital (well more than 1 or 2 to go home in).  But....

I asked our maternity coordinator if I could see a package and it did not say they have dry max (they have the yellow line that karaatpampers says is incompatible with dry max).

That being said, I'd start cloth in the hospital if we had any experience with it, but ... I'd really like to supervise laundry, so we have huggies for the hospital but he's coming home in a Fab Fitted.

Yeah, I know - same as me.  I've thought about calling and asking the hospital, but worried they wouldn't give me the right answer.  Other issue, if I have a c/s, I won't have enough nb diapers to get through the 3-4 day stay.  so...  we'll probably end up buying nature baby care diaps and bringing those.

Our hospital had the non-Dry Max funky yellow pee line Pampers.

I think I will ask to see the package when we tour the hospital again.

if you really don't want to bring cloth to use for a 1-2 day stay in the hospital, then i would just buy seventh generation or something like that instead.  i would not trust the pampers plus the smell of them makes me want to barf!

We had cloth (provided by the hospital). But then, we were in Boulder.

We had a package of Pampers available to us but I never bothered looking at them since I brought cloth. I didn't even being them home for backup either....strangely though, I was given a bag of other barf-worthy things like disposable nursing pads and such and there were Huggies included in that.

I was talking to one of the nursery nurses about the Dry-Max thing and she was completely oblivious to the whole issue. Didn't give me a warm and fuzzy

 So jealous!!

Nope- baby dry. DD was born before Dry Max was in diapers.

i didn't feel like taking the chance knowing they were pampers so we brought a package of huggies. only problem was everytime she came back from the nursery she had on pampers and sometimes she was so sound asleep i hated to change her....

My hospital said they are Drymax. FYI I delivered at the same hospital as Pixy.

You could just bring a pack of seventh gen

I still have a package of NB Swaddlers that I plan on using in the hospital until we're ready to come home... They're from when DS was new and too big to wear them (we were straight in size one).  I have no issues shipping them FFS when we're out of the hospital this time- though it is from Canada... so not super cheap to ship, but putting it out there anyhow.

The hospital where I delivered as well as the hospital I just left working have the Swaddlers without drymax.

The new hospital where I work has Huggies Little Snugglers.

Aww thanks for the offer.  I think I will just see what they have and then make up my mind what to do.

Same here.  And the smell made me barf too.  Yuck.

Yup, Boulder Foothills? How old is your LO?  We were December 08.  It snowed the night before and the next day, so we had beautiful flatirons views.   I loved it so much there bc of their policies and bc I could be attended by midwives the whole time until the emergency c-section that the MWs did everything they could to prevent. So much so that DH was willing to put off our move out east by a year so that we could have time to hopefully get pg here and deliver here because there's nothing like this facility in the DC metro area.

Yes!  We had awesome views of the mountains from our room.  DD was born Jan of 09 so our LO's are about the same age.  I actually work for that hospital system now but on the Broadway campus.  It was my birth experience there that led me to want to work for them.  The Foothills campus is actually powered by solar energy (not sure what percentage).  It was the first hospital in the world to be LEED certified.

ours did not have dry max. i also have a package of newborn size that we only use a couple of because DD was so big - i'd be willing to mail them if you want.
