We've used Pampers Swaddlers from the beginning and were very happy with them. Now that she's in size 3 - the chemical smell is just overwhelming. I'm not sure why we didn't notice it as much with the smaller sizes. I love the way they feel, fit, and absorb, but I just can't stand my baby smelling yucky! I bought some Seventh Generation and some Nature Babycare diapers today at BRU. Hopefully one of those works out!
Re: What diapers are you using? (disposable)
We used 7th generation size 1-2 until they got too small. I always found that their sizing ran smaller (at least on my LO) than the rest of the brands, so he would outgrow a size in 7th gen before he would outgrow the same in pampers or equiv. We switched to Huggies Pure and Natural once we finished our first 2 bags of 7th Gen. Size 3.
Plus, the huggies are easier to find in stores and are less expensive than 7th gen. . only the BRU here has 7th gen. I did like them, though. We still use 7th gen. wipes, though.

I am a pampers mom but I agree the smell is strong (after LO grows up it will bring back memories). We are still in size 2 so smell is not too bad....are you using the new size three swaddler or the cruiser? My first had to up size to cruiser and I don't recall the smell being any stronger. I just tried diapers dot com brand and they are pretty good (not as good as swaddlers but not as expensive either)my SIL swears by Target by day pampers by night.
In the end, it is what you think works best. Good luck!
Thanks everyone! We were using the Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive Size 3.
We tried Nature Babycare over the weekend and LOVE them so far. No smell and they fit great. We'll see how she does in them at daycare this week...

We were using Huggies little Snugglers during the day and Huggies Snug and dry at night-- We have ran out of snugglers so we have gone to Snug and dry for now.
