We increased the boys feeding intervals from approximately 8 per day to 11 or 12. They are happier, and we are a little sleepier, but with them more content, they are easier to handle. The boys eat for about a forty minutes to an hour, sleep for an hour to an hour-and-a-half, and the cycle repeats itself. They remain full and content. We remain content, but a little more tired . . . . Both boys are contently sleeping next to me right now while I am working. Melissa is outside getting some fresh air.
Now, the critique on Huggies Premie Diapers v. Pampers Premie Diapers. Huggies are awful. They leak all over, and we end up having to put the boys in new shirts and blankets at least 2 - 3 times a day because of leaks. We found a loincloth to be more absorbent than these rags. Pampers Premie diapers, while a little bit smaller than Huggies Premie diapers, are much better with fewer leaks. Either way, once the boys are done with their next 30 pack of Huggies Premies, they are moving to Huggies Newborns (which we hope are better than Huggies Premie diapers). After they are done with that box of potential garbage, they will move to Pampers FatHog diapers.

Our Huggies experience was similar. Try Luvs or Target brand which are cheaper and better. Cloth work well also! Nothing, however, is as bad as the dreaded Little Swimmers which are basically only a contraption to keep poop from rolling out into the pool.
Or, you could hang them over the toilet naked. Then you wouldn't need any diapers.

You could train them to be like us.
We don't use diapers we go outside most of the time.
