Not sure about the best bottle for a newborn, we never used one. We do use Playtex drop ins now. They are BPA free and you can get the nipple to match the breast; that made it easy. They are easy to clean and you can push all the air out of them.
For Newborn diaper, we used Pampers Swaddlers, but you could always use cloth.
Dr Browns bottles I’ve heard are great but both my babies were breatfed so I didn’t need bottles for quite a while.
Diapers? I’m not sure if Luvs makes newborn diapers but when you get into size 1 and up they’re great! Very affordable and they work just as well as the other brands. Pampers Swadlers were always my faborite for premie and newborn size!
I used to swear by the regular cheap Evenflo bottles. Until I just had my 3rd baby- we had to get him Dr Brown’s for bad gas. Diapers- Parents Choice by Walmart are great. They were the cheapest and worked well for my daughters and son. Also, when you are getting baby clothes- go to second hand stores and take any hand me downs from friends and relatives. They outgrow them so fast, you will be kicking yourself in the ass when those $20 outfits are outgrown in 4 weeks or less.
i loved the avent bottles until i heard the big newsbreak about it being the number one baby bottle to carry that chemical bisphenol a so i got rid of them all, it leaks into the milk while being heated, google baby bottles with bpa and read up on it before you choose which ones to buy
and for diapers, i always bought pampers, they are only 3-4 dollars more expensive than other brands but with the no name you go through twice as much because they arent as absorbent as the pampers so in the long run pampers will be cheaper for you because you will go through alot less diapers
i just get the drop-in bottle type. I get the 4 oz ones and then just wash and throw away the drop in
As for diaper i just go buy at BJs or Baby r us when they send you the coupon for wipes save two dollar and 15% use it together Do not get anything more then price so you can you can 15% off the wipes or diapers. Or find it when it goes on sale or promotion.
I buy the pampers for my daughter plaxtex for bottle.
And pampers wipes Sensitive one
I am not sure about the bottles because both of my children were breastfed. I would probably say the Playtex drop in would be best.
As for diapers. I did use pampers swaddlers when they were newborns but now I use Seventh Generation diapers because they do not contain the chemicals or chlorine that other diapers have. My son is allergic to the other diapers because of the chemicals that they have. Since I am using the Seventh Generation diapers he has not had a single diaper rash. If you are wanting a great disposable diaper I would say Seventh Generation is the best because it is the closest to cloth. Cloth diapers, G Diapers are the best all around but if you are not going that route then Seventh Generation is the best.
I LOVE the playtex drop-ins easy to clean and they dont have that stuff thats in plastic bottles thats bad for babies (sorry dont rember what its called) and as for diapers I was using pampers baby dry, pampers swaddlers and huggies…but i tried luvs…they work great, never had a leak, and there cheaper too!
They are a little on the pricier side, but I LOVE Playtex VentAire’s. They come in slim and Wide. The wide is good for babies who are being weaned from the breast. They have several pieces, so they aren’t for everyone, but they clean very nicely, and my son has never had a problem with spit up or gas. (Knock on wood!) My daughter had huge problems when she was a baby. I wish they had these then!! They are dishwasher safe, but even if you don’t put them in the dishwasher, they are super easy to clean and keep clean! You can’t microwave them, but what I do is put the formula in a coffee cup, microwave it, check the temp and then put it in the bottle. They come with slow flow nipples or stage 2 fast flow nipples.
As far as diapers go, the best is swaddlers, they use them at the hospital, and they have a little cut out for the babies umbilical cord to breathe. I LOVED them.
I hope I have helped!!!
Platex Drop ins nurser. Since using it my baby’s gas is gone!!!!
I used Avent, Dr. Browns, and Soothie…they all gave her gas…was so thankful my Mom told me about the playtex bottles…they are great and BPA free (some bottles that are made of hard plastic have a chemical that can leak into formula).
Diapers, I think you get what you pay for. Newborns are pretty sensitive, and I would recommend Huggies or Pampers. Sign up on their websites for coupons, etc. I often see them in the Sunday papers too. Just shop for sales, it will save you money in the end. Buy the big boxes of diapers (like 150 in a pack, if you get them on sale they can cost as little as 0.17 per diaper).
Best wishes~
I have used the White Cloud brand from wal-mart(diapers) and they were excellent. I never had any leaks or over flows and they are really inexpensive! I found the “avent” bottles to work pretty well.
I breastfeed so no help there..
As for diapers, we cloth diaper.
Cheaper and cuter. xD
Check out Cottonbabies.com
Initial start up is around 200$,…
But newborns average around 8 diapers a day,..
It comes to around 60-100$ a month for diapers depending on your baby and what brand.
You save a lot of money.
bottles, they are all basically the same. just some are bigger (nipple wise) then others!!! i just used the cheap parents choice at walmart and they work great
as for diaper newborn store brand is cheapest and starting at size one Luvs is cheapest and the best!
The breast – 2 outlets no waiting.
As for diapers we use Luvs. The are inexpensive and seem to do the job.
I use Dr. Brown bottles. They have a newborn set of 5 bottles (Two 4 oz and three 8 oz) and a bottle cleaner for $20. I have heard the the Vent air and others like that are good as well. Buy in packs though because most of the nice bottles will cost you $5 a bottle individually.
I have been using Huggies Snug & Dry diapers and Huggies Nutrally Refreshing wipes (green box) and bath and body products.
my favorite bottle, if your baby is nursing also is adiri http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=adiri&origkw=adiri&f=Taxonomy/TRUS/2255957&sr=1 and i find that pampers or luvs are the best, but only the ones with the stretchy sides, but if you are going for cheap just go with white cloud or parents choice diapers, just some off brand, but if your babys skin is more sensitive to those ones id go pampers or luvs which ever is cheapest.
Cheapest diapers are cloth! It costs the same for a dozen diapers as for a package of disposables, and cloth you reuse not just for one kid but for any subsequent children as well. I started with disposables and switched to cloth when my daughter was a few months old. Not only is it cheaper, her bottom is much softer with cloth, it’s better to not fill up the landfill with crap (literally), and diaper laundering isn’t as difficult as you think it’s going to be. Cloth diapers rarely leak poo, and I find it easier to clean cloth diapers than poopy clothes. It’s easier to tell if your baby has diarrhea because in disposables the watery part just soaks in like pee but you can see a watery outline around the solid part on a cloth diaper. Important to know when your baby has the runs so you can give extra fluids and know to monitor temperature.
If you are interested, do a google search on cloth diapers or ask some questions on here – us cloth moms love to spread the word!
avent are good but i use playtex drop-ins those seem to be the easiest! and ive tried alot of diapers with my 2 month old and i like pampers swaddlers the best
