Does anyone know where to find them? that question came up at the baby shower for a fellow zoner yesterday as she was opening up gifts. She and her friend have looked at Wal-Mart, Target, any store that you can think of, except for Babies Are Us because there isn't one near her home. Please help.

You can get them from drugstore.com. Has she tried Sams Club?

Just buy them from the nearest supermarket, lmfao. There was no shortage of Pampers for 4 lbs 7 Oz little man Robbie last year, lmfaolmfaolmfao.

She tried that. to give you an idea of how small her son is, in order for a diaper to fit him properly, she had to take one of those things for premature babies, and fold it in half. it's already small enough to fit in to the palm of one's hand, but if she left it like it was jsut out of the package, there would have been more diaper than baby. He was only born weighing one pound six ounces, and twelve and a quarter inches in length.

Wow. Well, if the regular preemie diapers are still too big, then she should ask her pediatrician where she can get some specifically made for extremely premature infants. They'll be able to help her.

Well, and you would think they wouldn't let him go home unless he's at least 4 and a half pounds, but... I don't know.

No, he's going to be at least five pounds, but he may still be small. She just wants to be prepared.

they do have them at sams club, I've seen them. and my baby was also premature, and we got help from the hospital, you should have her talk to someone there.
