Does Boots own brand nappies leak?

ooobedoo

I have used most nappies on DS when he was a baby, and now I have a DD. I like huggies, the way the fit, I don't like the flexibility of pampers(As in the lack of). I do the nappy trials down here.I have just finished using tesco own brand and found them to be really good. I even used sainsburys environmental nappies and they were alright. Trial and error, it's like being an individual...everybody is different remember!!!

I so hope this was said tongue in cheek.

Your poor wife gave birth to your child a mere three weeks ago, and you're giving her a hard time over £8 possibly badly spent

Have you read the labour thread which is current at the moment, or the pregnancy best kept secrets thread? :mad:

Some questions for you to consider:

Who changed the bed when it was wet in the night - you or your wife?
Is your baby sleeping all the way through the night yet? If not, who is getting up to feed?
Did your wife have stitches after the birth, and if so have they healed?
Is your wife still bleeding after the birth?
Is your wife breastfeeding?
Are you back at work yet, and is she looking after the child single handed all day?

If hand on heart, you can say that none of these questions are relevant you're still an insensitive twit, and if you were my insensitive twit, you'd be out the door so fast that you wouldn't be able to get the words CSA and Divorce out.

Give the poor woman a break for God's sake. Even if you are 100% sure that you are right about something as minor as this, resist the urge to tell her so. Criticise nothing, and wait until she's at least back on her feet before you start having a go about something as petty as this.

Blimey Nicki! Take it easy girl! What is exactly your problem - maybe you should go see a shrink and get over whatever is eating you up.

About blaming the wife quote - it's just one of those things you say - you know - like when the baby is good it's our son and when he is bad then he is your son. It's simply banter among a very happy and loving household.

I don't really have to go into details here girl, but we both do our bits - I get nothing more than 5hrs sleep at night these days and go to work very tired in the morning. Just remember whilst some blokes are useless in sharing out the responsibilty of looking after a newly born baby, there are far more of us who do their part.

Do you think I am that stupid to come on this board and slagging my wife off? Esp the very people I am seeking advice from are mothers themselves? I was simply bringing in some humour on my posting - my lovely wife and baby were next to me in bed when I wrote the thread - we simply laughed about it.

I am sorry if you have had bad men issues in the past - which I am sure you definitely had judging by your post. Just remember most men are good partners/husbands. Just give me some advice on nappies if you must


For every who have replied (postively) thanks for you advice/recommendations. We have decided to stick with pampers/huggies until he stays weening.

I'll admit I was having a bad day when I posted but do still think what you posted was disrespectful.

Actually no. To set the record straight my OH who has been my only serious partner and the father of both my children is a prince among men. He would no more dream of criticising me publicly for buying the wrong nappy for £8 than he would walk on hot coals. I was however very unwell after the birth of both of my two and know how gruelling childbirth is (unlike you it would seem!) As for advice, I believe I did - in that I told you to buy nappies based on weight not age, try out different brands if necessary by swopping samples with friends and acquaintances with kids the same age, and to stop fretting over something which you've already said you can afford to experiment with, and to give your wife a treat!

Still firmly of the opinion, I wouldn't have a child with you for all the tea in china. However, I suspect that feeling is mutual!

Glad you've got it sorted anyhow. Enjoy the new arrival. Before you know it, he'll be potty training and the question of what's the best nappy will be a distant memory.

I bet your prince doesn't know that you on the net proposing me to have a baby with you:rotfl: :rotfl: LOL

Trust me my wife is not one single bit offended by this - we are a very laid back couple, infact we are horizontal! - nothing much offends us. You on the other hand seems very touchy and emotional. Maybe it's a cultural thing - because where my wife & I come from - it's norm to have such friendly banter.

She will opening tell the next person that it's my snoring that keeps the baby awake or that I am crap at holding the baby properly and we will simply laugh about it.

Just think about it - out the xxx amount of people who replied to my thread, only you are offended and went on to slay me like that!

I am proud dad and I am all smiles these days - so don't spoil it for me!

I was not complaining about the £8 either! You already seem to form your own opinon about me but you are wrong cause I am just NICE! haha

I also know exactly what childbirth is like - I went over 36hrs without sleep when my wife went into a 15hr labour - I was there through out the whole thing and did my bit. So please ease down on me - give me a break!

The reason for sharing the boots nappy and saying that about my wife is because i am among friends on this site - and beside no one knows who my wife to be disrespecting her.

OK let's draw a line under this then. Enjoy your baby. They are lovely at this age though a bit leaky as you've discovered.

For the record though, if you go back and read the thread closely, you'll see that far from proposing to have a child with you, I was in fact proposing to cut your bits off!! Like I say, caught me on a bad day!

I agree lets not fight! Just remember next time not to jump to conclusion on this board - different people have different ways of expressing themselves and not everything is black or white in life. What's acceptable to one might not be to another - we are all simply different people!

Good luck with the family!

Now why can't other people resolve their differences like that????

Congratulations on the arrival of your son worcester, I too found Boots to leak. We now use Pampers mostly but only because I keep getting money off vouchers making them cheaper than tesco. I'm not sure about huggies my friend says pampers gives her son nappy rash and rates huggies. Huggies leaked for us when he was newborn, but that might have changed since he's now 8 months.

i never had a problem always mixed between boots/sainsburys and tescos depending on where i was shopping never had a leaky own brand nappy.the only ones i ever had trouble with were huggies made both my girls sore and leaked

Delilah

Tesco's nappies for us were brilliant, i would highly recommend (i'm not on commission by the way) them. i did buy a pack of sainsburys and asda and found they were too big smaller size too small, so we saved the nappies for when she was poorly and had lots of runny poos saved wasting better nappies. They didn't leak just weren't great on size, went up to her armpits!! :rotfl: Haven't tried boots though, and now thanks to you OP i probably wont.:beer:

When I had my DS I used pampers because Huggies always seemed to leak for him. Now I have DD (and cannot afford the expensive brands) I tried Boots and Tesco own, I find that own brands do tend to come up a little smaller and I didn't really like the Boots ones. The Tesco ones, I think, are better than pampers and very rarely leak. If baby is bf no doubt stools are very loose and the newborn ones are very good, soak it all up. DD is 6 months and is in size 3 but she was only 5lb 15oz when born.
