I used them for nearly Aidyn's whole life, and have only just switched brands to save money.
IMO they are definately the best, however, they are also the most expensive.
Most people find using Huggies is best at the newborn stage compared with other brands, because they seem to fit the smaller babies better.

Another thing I did for a while was to use them on Aidyn for overnight, and put cheaper ones on him during the day, as nighttime is the most likely time that you will get nappy leaks.
