If you ever wondered what type of diapers the NICU uses, the answer is Pampers! They use pampers diapers and pampers wipes. They also use industrial unscented laundry detergent (although the nurses have declared we can bring items washed in whatever and that Dreft smells delectable) and off-brand aquaphor.

I know these things because we went last night for care time, where the babies all get little baths (basically, gentle touches with a wipe), have their mouths cleaned (they can’t swallow but also can’t close their mouths because of feeding/breathing tubes) with what look and sound like the same things a dentist uses for suction, have all of their dressings and wires changed/moved (prevents pressure sores), and have their diapers changed. Despite being small, the boys still like to pee as soon as they are uncovered. Finn made a great deal of a mess but, as a result, got all new blankets and the cutest little swaddle.

The amazing thing is even with the miniature size of the diapers, they still have to be rolled down at the top to fit on even Aubrey, the biggest of the three.
