Bringing a little human being into the world is life changing. You want to protect them. You want to make life better for them. Pampers believes that even though babies are little, they are powerful agents of change. Babies have a profound impact on our lives and on the world. When a baby comes into your life, you want to be a better person for that baby. Babies bring out the best in each of us. They make our lives better. And that’s why there’s nothing each of us wouldn’t do to make life better for babies. I have three babies rounding out my family of five and although they are all at different stages in their lives, there are five things that we as parents are trying to keep constant in our children’s lives.
1. Eat together: Family dinners are so important and in this day in age, we need this time to connect. If you can create a habit of eating together, you will be a much stronger family unit.
2. Family Before Friends: In happy families, family comes before friends. Caring for kids also has to be fun. Give rules, but understand that kids need fun, too.
3. Build and Honor Rituals: Families need rituals. Rituals can be religious, national, or even family-specific. How about a weekly game night? Or maybe even a weekly pizza night? Rituals tend to bring family members close together because they are repeated over time.
4. Never Fight in Front of the Kids: While some fighting or bickering may be inevitable, try to keep it away from the children. I know most of us are guilty of this, but if your kids see you fight and argue, apologize and say, “We are sorry you had to see it. Daddy and I just had a disagreement, but everything is OK now.”
5. Encourage Sibling Harmony: Even though there may be a bit of sibling rivalry every now and then, remind your kids that they are all loved and how fortunate they are to have siblings…because one day that could be all you have!
Pampers believes that babies bring out the best in all of us. That’s why there’s nothing each of us wouldn’t do to make life #BetterForBaby.

Pampers has unveiled a new video – The Pampers Better for Baby video- to celebrate the many ways babies bring out the best in all of us. The video ends with a pledge: “together we can make life #betterforbaby.” Pampers hopes the video inspires people to share what they already do – and what they might begin doing – to make life better for the babies in their lives. Pampers is inviting people to share their pledges using hashtag #betterforbaby. We believe these small changes can add up to a big impact. Each pledge is an individual promise of how someone can make a little difference in helping to make life #BetterforBaby. It could be something as simple as pledging to sing or read to baby, to exercise more, or to donate things your baby outgrows to charity.
How will you be #BetterForBaby?
Family bonding is very important while the children are younger and into the teen years. Always express how arguing is not their fault and that some time mom’s and dads need to work things out.
Great tips
I always used Pampers. I was very happy with them!
My kids are getting bigger now and entering for my cousin who just had her first. We too loved the pampers and their wipes I stil like to use for the kids. Can’t outgrow them.
We still use wipes, too. They are perfect for spills.
This is a really handy giveaway. I know a few people who could really use this prize pack. I will send them your way.
Sounds like a great giveaway. What you shared with us are wonderful tips. Having dinner together is a must for us because this is the only time we get to spend time as a family during weekdays.
What a great giveaway! And some great tips. We have been through it so many times we are very good with welcoming baby and making sure life goes smoothly!
We used Pampers all the time when my kids were in diapers. They were sensitive on their bottoms!
I am staying home with my babies and giving them many fun experiences. We provide healthy meals and teaching them out to be respectful. We give them a safe, happy, and fun environment to live in.
I am making life #BetterforBaby by spending quality time with my children and by saving as much water as possible.
Family time is so important. My kids are teenagers and we still have a game night every other week so we can have some time together.
We do that too! It’s important to spend family time no matter how old the kids are!
We eat organic.
I love spending time with my family. Building rituals is a great way to stay close.
I am being #BetterForBaby by eating well for our unborn baby.
Adorable baby! pampers was my brand of choice back in the day
Putting family before friends is definitely a must now that I have my own family. I have also noticed that some friendships grow apart as you get older.
We use Pampers all the time. We grew up with them and would only give our baby the best;)
I’ve been wanting to get that magic bullet for my daughter-in-law. She makes everything from whole, real foods and it’d be great for her little one.
These are great ways to bring the family closer. That prize pack Pampers is offering is pretty epic!
We just got a dining room table and have made a conscious effort to eat at it without the television on. It’s been good.
I’m not sure I agree that the parents shouldn’t disagree in front of the kids. I think some people interpret that their parents didn’t fight so when they get in relationships, they think the relationship doesn’t work because they are fighting in it and their parents didn’t.
I’m taking care of my health and my relationship with my husband to be #betterforbaby
We’ve been using Huggies and Pampers and right now we love Pampers. Think we’ll stick with them!
Family dinners and traditions are so important for strong families. I disagree with arguing in front of your kids though. It’s healthy for them to see that relationships take work and we don’t always agree but we work things out.
I think that you can really lay the groundwork for what kind of person your child is going to be when they are really young. You have some good ideas to build strong family values that will help them grow up to be good adults.

I am making healthy food to make life #betterforbaby
I am #betterforbaby by feeding the little boy I watch during the week homemade baby food without any preservatives.
Great tips for parents bringing home a new one with a sibling at home. I’ve had 4 kids so I’ve been there done it
Having four babies, I certainly have tried to do everything on this list and then some. I truly believe that honoring rituals and never fighting in front of the kids is very important. Children thrive on routine, at least mine do.
I feed her organic fruits and veggies.
By protecting him each and every day-

I’m Making Life Better For Baby By Preparing Healthy Foods.
We make life better for baby by setting aside quality family time everyday to spend together! Playing games, or just talking to each other.
I make life better for my baby by having patience and feeding him healthy foods.
Making life better for baby by trying to raise them right, be involved, show them love, lead by example, show them patience, teach them right from wrong, take them to church, and of course use pampers and wipes :))
I’m pregnant with my first baby due in couple of weeks and we plan on using pampers for my baby!
I make life better for my baby because I try to give her nutritious foods as well as take her places to learn and explore. She has a big brother who loves her very much and loves teaching her as well! Julie smartsavvymama@gmail.com
I am checking food and label products and educating myself before making health decisions.
