[blparent] Questions about purchasing baby items

[Veronica Smith]

build-a-bears wear 0 to 3 months.  so when you get rid of those tiny 
clothes, consider a build-a-bear, this is much cheaper than buying the 
clothes they have to sell.
I also didn't like Luvs, they leak and are horrible.  I liked Pampers best, 
Huggies always felt wet and I loved the wipes from Kirkland. v
