2 part question

Okay I have 2 questions:
1) Has anyone used Parents choice diapers from Wal-Mart?? Good or bad reviews?? I know I don't like their wipes, so I'm not willing to switch diapers unless I get a decent amount of good reviews.....

2) How do I get my 9 month olds to go to sleep later?? Currently they fall asleep between 6:30-7, and are almost always asleep by the time I get home from work (7:15-7:30) Coming home from work earlier isn't an option, so how do I get them to go to sleep later?? They stay at daycare from about 7:30 in the morning till 4:30-5:00 and don't nap very well there at all (bright lights, other babies, etc..) and are now down to one 30-45 min nap for one girl and about an hour for my other girl.... I don't know how to fix that either cuz the daycare people refuse to work with us. Getting another daycare provider also isn't an option unless I want to get a second job to pay for the increase (where we are now is about as cheap as we'll get it, for decent care anyways)

They usually want to lay down for their second nap of the day about 10 minutes before DH picks them up, meaning they get woke up, and then they're just up for the rest of the day till they fall asleep. I wouldn't normally have a problem with the bedtime, but seeing that they want to get up around 5 a.m. every morning, and I don't have to be to work till 10, that means if I don't go to sleep almost as soon as I walk in the door at night (I'm usually in bed by 8, 9 at the absolute latest) then I won't get any decent amount of sleep either. If I could just get them to sleep until 7 a.m. I'd be the happiest mommy on the block! If I could get them to wake up around 7 a.m. then I wouldn't have to take them to daycare until around 9 a.m. but as it stands I take them early just so I can get a nap in before I do have to go to work (I know bad, but I'm one of those if I don't get at least 8-9 full hours of sleep I'm really cranky)

 

i loved their diapers but not the wipes.. thet dried out to quick

 

If you want your babies to sleep later in the morning, putting them to bed later probably won't help. A later bedtime actually makes many babies wake up even earlier, and earlier bedtimes make them sleep later. Sounds crazy, but the more rested you are, the easier it is to sleep.

I'd try everything in your power to get them more sleep during the day - see if there's any way for them to nap longer/better at daycare, and maybe try an earlier bedtime. If they get more rest, they might sleep later in the morning and let YOU get your rest!

 

I hated the wipes, we use huggies. As far as the diapers go, Im not all that crazy about them. They feel kinda stiff (stiffer than luvs). I will buy them if Im low on cash and need a small package to hold me over.

We have been using pampers baby dry for the longest time dabbling with cruisers (which u get less for the same price). This past week we bought a mega of pampers and a mega of luvs. Luvs are ok and Ive been using them during the day. You get 30 more diapers but I dont know if you save much because its like $20-21 for those compared to to $18 for 80 pampers.

Have you tried the white cloud diapers yet? Im not crazy about them either.

My story with diapers: When we had my oldest (who is 17 now) diapers cost a fortune and we use to buy whatever, it all worked fine. When my 2nd was born (14 now) the price seemed to have come down. And back then they had the boy or girl diapers and most diapers had the plastic on the outside and excellent leak guards up the back side. They actually had just started coming out with the softer outside back then. Now diapers are back to costing a fortune and havent improved but become less in quality. Take it from a start over mom, even the cheap wipes back then were softer.

Ooops forgot about the 2nd part of the question.
In my experience I found the earlier mine go to bed the earlier they wake up and more frequent during the night.
As far as getting them to stay up a little later, well DH needs to help with that since he has them before you come home. On the other hand if they want to sleep they want to sleep.
You are paying the daycare to care for your children and it might mean you need to bring it to the attention of the manager. These women need to at least try and work on a schedule with the babies. Dont they have a separate area for nappers?
All in all I dont know what else to tell you. Sorry that I cant be more helpful. Just sounds like that daycare place needs to make some adjustments all around in their facility to accommodate everyones needs.

 

i dont really like walmart diapers, they are stiff and they leak in my experience. i have yet to find a good generic brand of diapers. i like pampers baby dry the best, even more so than the swaddlers, then i usually buy target brand wipes, they are so soft (generic pampers brand) and i get a 3pk refill for 4.50. sry cant help u out with the 2nd quest. hope things get better tho

 

I will use Parents Choice diapers in a pinch but find that ordering Pampers on 1800diapers.com are the same price as picking the others up at Walmart. The best 'cheap' diapers I have found are Western Family... but I am not sure that brand is sold Nation wide?? I also hated the wipes and use Huggies wipes. The ONLY other brand of wipes I like are Kirkland from Costco but I hate even Pampers wipes and all the other cheap brands. As for the sleeping thing I am not sure how to answer you... we are new at this sleeping through things ourselves... I hope it starts to work out for you so you can see your babies more!!

 

I use and LOVE parents choice diapers. We have absolutely NO leaks with them. As for price, they are about 5.99 for a jumbo pack and I have NEVER found any other brand diaper for that cheap anywhere!
