Pampers Swaddlers Newborn
Best overall
The softest liner of any newborn diaper, with a wetness indicator that turns blue so you're not guessing at 3am. Dual LeakGuards and a blowout barrier at the back where newborn messes actually go.

Pampers Baby Dry, Size 1

The cheapest way to get a wetness indicator and dual leak guards. The liner is less plush than Swaddlers, which nobody under one month old has ever complained about.
Pampers Swaddlers Preemie

Cut for babies under 6 lbs, which regular newborn diapers gap around. The size the NICU hands you, in a pack you can keep at home.
