We have used Pampers since our daughter was born. We loved the Swaddlers, and were crushed when she sized out of them and we had to switch to the more plasticky Baby Dry. But after all the Baby Dry diapers were pretty good. Then we found the Pampers Cruisers with the new Dry Max "technology" on sale for a great deal, so we bought two cases.
Since then, there have been complaints about the Dry Max technology causing severe rashes and even chemical burns on babies who have switched to the Pampers with Dry Max. We have used almost one full case with no real problems. Josie has had a couple minor rashes, but she is also teething, and she always gets a rash prior to cutting a new tooth, so I don't associate them with the Pampers... plus they are not severe rashes. And I have not noticed anything even resembling a chemical burn.
But thousands of people claim they have, to the point that there is even a Facebook page urging Pampers to return to their old formula, which is nearing on 6000 fans. This has resulted in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission launching an investigation of the complaints, with the cooperation of Pampers. This investigation is currently underway.
For their part, Pampers has denied any link between rashes or burns and their new diaper, and has said the only actual difference between the new and old Pampers is the design, not the chemicals involved.
What do you think? Have any of you Pampers users noticed any rashes since switching to the Dry Max? Do you think this is a case of lots of folks jumping on a bandwagon, or a more widespread problem? Is "Dry Max" going to become a bad word??
There are two coupons out right now for $1/1 Nexcare Bandages, no size restrictions. This means you can get the travel size for FREE at Target! I don't usually get excited over the travel size deals, but having a little box of these in your glove compartment, diaper bag, or purse could really come in handy.
Target also has the full-size Nexcare bandages marked down to under $2 from time to time, so you can save your coupons for that, too!
Thanks for the tip, Coupon Katarina!
Hey Mommas! Learning Curve is offering a free sample of The First Years Nursing Care Instant Relief System. I ordered mine because I have the feeling that it will be much more effective than just dumping the ice cube tray down my shirt, which would probably be the route I would have taken.

Now that our daughter is eating table food (well, when she is willing), my husband and I are much more conscious of what we are eating as well. We are both very particular about what we give her, yet not at all about what we eat ourselves. With our second child around the corner, I know I am not going to be willing to make two dinners each night -- a healthy one for our daughter and whatever else for us. Plus, that is dumb. Why should we not be making every effort to eat healthy both for ourselves and as an example for our kids?
About two weeks after we were beginning to think hard about all of this, that Jamie Oliver Food Revolution show aired and motivated us to get more serious about the whole thing. We were discussing it today and I had that old nagging feeling that I was about to overwhelm myself with an entirely new way of menu planning, couponing, shopping and cooking, like I always do. I jump into stuff 110% and within two weeks I am burned out. My husband suggested we try two meals a week cooked from scratch (i.e. no prepared foods, no overly processed foods), and once that becomes easy and I have a few recipes under my belt, then try for three a week, etc. This makes the whole thing seem much less daunting.
You might think I am a big sissy. Many of you probably cook this way all the time and are wondering what I am so freaked about. But I have been pregnant more or less for the last year and a half and had such powerful food aversion issues that I really couldn't do much cooking. Before that, my husband and I ate out at restaurants quite a bit or made easy meals like frozen pizzas or prepared foods. Though I know my way around an oven, I really do feel like I am starting over, especially when you consider the fact that we will be trying new foods and new cooking methods, with two babies hanging out, probably laying there pointing and laughing at me.
So, starting this week, we will be trying two reasonably healthy meals a week where I cook from scratch. I realize that 7 months pregnant might be kind of a dumb time to undertake a new endeavor such as this one. But as long as I plan ahead, I think it will work out.
If anyone has any recipes or tips, they would be much appreciated!! Feel free to leave a comment to that effect... I know my husband will appreciate it, too! Wish us luck!
