Celebrating Firsts

The first diaper-changing rights have been held by my husband for all three of our babies! I birthed and nursed them first, it was only fair that he had a chance to have some firsts too. Because every first is significant no matter how small they seem.

This article is part of our BEST Parenting Advice Series for New Parents

Pampers was there for our first diaper changes

Color changing wetness indicator that signals when baby may need to be changed! Did you know? Pampers Swaddlers is the #1 choice of hospitals in North America!

I’m all about doing what works best for the kid:

My first two kiddos used Pampers Swaddlers until around two months old, when we switched to cloth diapering. Much to my disappointment, my baby #3 wasn’t able to tolerate cloth diapers. We had tried everything, but it just wasn’t working.  

Thankfully, his skin tolerated Pampers because they were able to keep him dry. Luckily Swaddlers are now available through size 6! (Although I’m hoping to have him potty trained before he moves out of the size 4) Pampers listened to moms who said they wanted the Pampers Swaddlers softness they know and love to be available throughout their diapering years.

The Importance of Firsts!

“Firsts” highlights the first time parents see their little one on a sonogram to their first evening home. This video showcases precious, heart-felt moments that babies and their families share together.

No matter how big or small, these moments are meant to be cherished and celebrated!

Celebrate the Journey of Firsts!
