Products worth buying name brands

I used to be a complete Huggies snob - would only ever buy their wipes, and pretty much always the nappies. The only variation was when DS would start leaking out of them at night, so I switched to Treasures Ultra - they are longer in the front, so miles better for boys!

When DD came along, I wanted to economise a bit, so now I only buy the Silk wipes (the unscented ones), and I actually prefer them to Huggies. I also have them both in Home Brand nappies during the day, but still in Huggies/TU at night.

I pretty much only buy brand name clothing, predominantly JK or Cotton On. A lot of their clothes come from overseas anyway - so M&S, Gap, Mothercare etc. I don't think I've ever been to T&T in my life. They are both going to daycare full time next year though, so i will probably buy them some daycare outfits from Kmart, T&T or the Warehouse. I find the branded clothing to be much better quality, and doesn't stretch or lose shape. I will buy a few basics from the Warehouse or Farmers though at times.

I've got a P&T buggy which is fantastic, and am very glad we didn't economise on that.

Interesting the comment about TnT, a friend of mine who worked there said it's all Farmers, or PP clothes just they were the ones that didn't get picked for the season iygwim.

Re clothes, I buy whatever, I actually really like that Hippo brand at Warehouse, so cheap (like 2 for 10 or 2 for 15, etc) and have found it to be excellent quality.

I do like PP pants/skirts for the extendable waistbands, love that! But because she is growing so fast I normally only buy whats on sale or at the outlets. She does get some 'new season' items, but not her whole wardrobe or we'd go broke!

Re Huggies nappies, they were great for my lil 6-7lb baby because she was so skinny but once she fattened up they didn't fit well at all and still don't!
