Advantages: Pretty Winnie the Pooh motif

Disadvantages: Leak wee and poo and smell

I am not a fan of Hhuggies Newborn nappies. They promise to be a quality product due to the reputation of Huggies as a brand name but unfortunatley they dissapoint. I have a 7 week old boy and bought these nappies as I believed them to be the best (also because as an expectant mum you get sent lots of offers and many of them were from Huggies). They are certianly appealing with the cute Winnie the Pooh details. From day one these nappies leaked - a lot. My son was 7lbs when he was born so not tiny and yet the nappies were not snug enough (no matter how tight you secured the tabs etc) as they leaked around the legs. I was forever changing his baby gro's due to leaked wee and even poo. I breastfeed my son and as a previous review stated breastfed babies do have very runny poo and this just leaked through the legs and out the top at the back. I ended up buying a store brand and have not had one leaky nappy yet! Compared to numerous a day and night with Huggies. They aren't particularly cheap either so I would have expected better. Also I find that if my son does a wee Huggies nappies really smell compared to others I tried!

Summary: Not good value for money
