For the past few weeks, I’ve been having a baby dance-off on Instagram for the chance to win a year supply of Pampers Cruisers. I was supposed to narrow it down to the final two today, but that proved IMPOSSIBLE. I narrowed it down to the top eight instead.
This way, you don’t have to miss out on some truly fabulous little dancers.
Well, “fabulous” might be a bit strong. I don’t know if any of these kids are going to be dancing on Ellen quite yet, but give them a year or two and they might have a shot.
Please remember to vote for your favorite at the end of the post. The tiny dancer with the most votes wins!

You can vote once a day until the contest ends on September 8th at 9pm EST. See the full rules here.
First place gets a year supply of Pampers Cruisers and second place gets a six month supply.
Pampers Cruisers have been newly redesigned to distribute wetness evenly, preventing the sag that can slow your baby’s swag. See how they work here. Hopefully, this means your baby’s diaper will never again get in the way of your baby’s grooves again.
If your baby wasn’t one of the dancers selected, you still have the chance to win a six month on the @mommyshorts Instagram account. Watch for the giveaway!
Check back on September 8th at 9pm when I will announce the winner.
WINNER UPDATE:
Congrats to Nealy who won first place in the dance-off and a year supply of Pampers Cruisers! A second congratulations goes to runner-up Asher who will take home a six-month supply.
I know there was a lot of controversy over cheating and bots in the comments, so I did look into it. I run my contests through Poll Daddy and I contacted their support service to see if anything fishy was going on. They looked at the backend and reported back that they did not see any suspicious activity. There’s not really any more I can do beyond that. Thanks to everyone for participating! I hope it was more fun than stress.

This post was sponsored by Pampers, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Preston and UpTown Funk all the way. Its not even a contest. He is adorable. Best dancer!
omg Preston has the moves and my vote!
Nealy is adorable!!
Gia! So cute!
Gia has some serious moves. Love her!
I can’t get the videos to play at all on my computer or phone 🙁 Anyone else having this problem?
It’s the hat. Preston rocks already, but the way he wears that hat puts him right over the top! BAM!
Addison 100%, she’s got the best moves!!!
Addison is adorable! She’s got this!
Asher got the best I think……… http://www.alltipsinamunite.blogspot.com/
Preston’s got the moves – unreal!! If this was based off of best moves he would definitely win!! GO PRESTON
Preston is the best by far
Looking for Guitar Picks!!! You might me be looking for guitar picks and I found this one : http://www.steveclayton.com/ I am not sure about the quality or the origin of their offering. Has anyone have looked into this before? If you have any other options you know are worth the time to check out, please post them here. Thanks! steveclayton
This is contest is a rip off. For 2 days I haven’t been able to vote because it says that I already voted when I know for sure that that is a lie.
I don’t know why that is happening for you. I use Polldaddy which is a third party service and it is set to count votes per day with no repeating IP addresses. Beyond that, I don’t really have any control over it and I certainly have no interest in anyone in particular winning. From what I see on the backend, all the participants are continuing to get votes.
PRESTON!!
I haven’t been able to vote either : / I keep getting the same message.
The poll hasn’t been working for me. Completely convinced that this “contest” is “fixed”…
I sent an email to polldaddy to see if they can look into it. Personally I don’t see anything wrong with the results myself but maybe Polldaddy can give me a better analysis since a few people have reported issues.
There is VERY obvious cheating happening. Vote bots are OBVIOUSLY being used. So unfair.
I will contact polldaddy to see if anything fishy is happening but it looks to me like a few participants are gaining on the lead so I’m not sure who you think is cheating.
I would assume the first kid. He went from no votes to winning in just 2 days. The numbers don’t ever stop going up. It took the other two a week to get up that high…
Asher had the contest in the beginning. If you also look at the number of likes on the original video, he has alot. It also comes from sharing this page everyday on Facebook and having friends sharing it. Just because someone you are voting for isn’t winning, doesn’t mean someone else is cheating.
wow Nealy went up a lot real fast but you don’t think they cheated haha wow..
Having friends and family that help spread the word to vote for a contestant isn’t cheating it’s called being smart. Which obviously you are not if you think any parent in this list of contestants would really try to cheat in a contest that their baby is in.
I think it is unfair for you to claim someone is cheating when you have no idea how many times they have shared the link or the number of emails and texts they have sent out in hopes of having this chance.
Preston as well as UpTown Funk all the way. Their not really a new tournament. He’s sweet. Ideal dancer!
No nealy and Preston were so far ahead of everyone and all of a sudden Asher is winning? And he only dances the last three seconds of the video. That’s why people think there is cheating.
I agree! I have been following this for a friend and for the first few days of the contest Asher’s percentage was declining, down to around 7% (my friend has screenshots!!). All of the sudden within the last 2 days the video is booming… winning by such a considerable amount? A co-worker in my IT dept told me about people using VPN apps to change the IP address to allow multiple votes per day. Asher’s video has a ton of likes on instagram, yes, but it did before the contest and the first few days (assuming from the #watchmewhip hashtag), so if it was so popular, why wasn’t anyone voting for it in the beginning of the contest? The woman that posted it and her husband don’t even have a combined 1000 followers/friends on instagram/facebook, but Nealy’s poster has about 3000 on instagram alone. Totally fishy and disheartening to say the least.
it will help any family that gets it. Its not about you,stop saying people cheat that is wrong…
No cheating just a lot of family and friends supporting
Its not about the contest going any which way, its just the fact that he went from 7-25 in a matter of 24 hours just seems very strange it doesn’t matter who wins… and all the kids deserve it not just yours.
it’s about the kids and family not you.
Asher is moving up because we have a lot of family and friends that voted,the first few days it was slow because we didn’t tell anyone then when we did he loved up we didn’t use any cheats or anything like that,
I’m sorry it’s not going the way some people want but Ashe deserves it
All the kids deserve it, not just yours that’s rude
I never implied that my kid was the only one that deserved it. I meant that if his family votes for him and puts him in first thats not cheating. Implying that someone is cheating is rude.
Hi All! I am not sure when or how many people are regularly voting, but I can say that the parents of the first kid have been posting all over their social media and encouraging everyone to vote and share the page to vote too! i I have also seen their friends and family posting back on their walls and sharing it too! All the kids are cute and deserve to win, but I know that they have been working extremely hard trying to get people to vote and reminding them to vote every day.
The kiddo in the Fedora has my heart. That grin!
Also, as a personal friend of Ilana’s, a mom whose had her kid featured on Mommy Shorts a few times, and a perennial contest loser, I can vouch for the contest as so far as it’s being handled on the Mommy Shorts end. If there was contest rigging going on, I would have had my hands on some swag by now.
I’ll just have to settle for the strawberry-scented lock of Ilana’s hair that I keep in my writing journal.
who’s.
Damnit! Where’s the fix my grammar button?!?
It’s just after midnight and I am trying to vote for Asher. It’s telling me that I have already voted. How is that possible?
It let me vote the last two days. Is the contest ending early?
Go Asher, but congrats to whoever wins.
I also see that the timestamp on my comment is 4:23 am and not 12:23 am. I thought the contest was EST.
Strange.
I think this will be so effective for all.
More new featured up coming…
Asher have dance great !!!!
These comments are funny.
It seems like some of these parents need a diaper change.
No one is cheating. People are just working their networks.
Go Preston!!!
Boo Nealy. Boo Asher. Just kidding (in case that isn’t obvious).
Preston should win he has great moves and is a cutie pie !!!!
Hi Mommy Shorts! I’m so happy that my little guy, Archer dancing to Frozen, made it in the top 8. While it is unlikely he will win (Boo!), could you take a peek at his video on this page? It has said Content Unavailable for awhile now! Thanks!
Did you switch your account back to private? It’s pulling from your instagram feed so that’s the only explanation I can think of.
shoot! You are absolutely right!! I changed it to private because I had so many strangers following me. I guess that is part of the deal! Thanks!!
Go Asher Go.
We’re rooting for you.
I think Preston has moves for days! He is the BEST by far when it comes to dance moves. This contest is just about how many people each parent knows. If you are going by actual dance skills then of course, Preston should win, he is the only kid that is actually dancing but unfortunately, it’s who and how many people you know.
I don’t know any of these babies, or any of the families of any of these babies for that matter, but I am a mommy shorts follower and have participated in MANY of the contests and i have never seen anything go down that would make me suspicious of the results.
And I voted for preston because diaper butt wiggles get me every time
Frozen dancer…
wow Nealy went up fast,bots work really well.
Nealy’s mom has tons of followers on Instagram, pretty sure her votes are legit since there has been a spike in votes every time she posts. And this is coming from someone who’s child did not win.
Yeah,three percent in 20 minutes ok totally not bots..
Behold the power of a group of moms who support one another! No bots, just love.
I bet all the mothers are in the same boat when it comes to sisterhood and mother hood
Stop with this group of moms thing ,it’s not just about you guys
Not saying Nealy isn’t cute, but I thought this was supposed to be a fair contest… Congrats on being unfair to all the other contestants and paying for a bot.
I’m a Nealy fan and I’m certainly not a bot. She’s got a sisterhood of moms pulling for her and we’re a powerful force. Good luck to your kiddo, they’re all cute!
The fact that you think any of the parents in this contest have low enough morals to pay for a bot is sad. I doubt nealys parents even know what a bot is. Using social media to share the contest and get people to vote is not cheating in anyway it was a fair contest and looks like all the kids had a great time.
WOO ASHER!! Been sharing the contest all week! Go buddy! YOU WHIP AND YOU NAE NAE ALL DAY!
Hey Mommy Shorts, before the winner is decided can you look into bots again. Things just don’t seem right. I know I’ve had at least 20 of my friends vote this evening and there isn’t a single change in percent.. Which doesn’t seem right.
I do the poll through polldaddy and contacted them the other night to determine if anything funky was happening, since a few people enquired. They wrote back “I looked at your poll and it doesn’t look like any suspicious activity is happening! Everything looks good on this end.”
Based on what I know about bots, it looks like someone is cheating when they are staying ahead by a slight margin the whole time. In this contest, different people have been ahead at different times so that doesn’t read as suspicious to me.
Thanks to everyone for participating- your kids are all adorable!
Im sorry but if this contest is about DANCING Preston is by far the winner but unfortunately it’s all about how many people you know the winner should of been chosen from mommyshorts no one else
Hi all, another Nealy fan here! No bots voted, don’t worry, Nealy has lots and lots of family and friends who voted for her. What a sweetie!
Hi! This is Prestons mommy! Congratulations to the winners!!! I just want to say I’m glad it’s over. It was stressful posting and finding people to vote everyday for a week haha.
I also want to add that I’m sure we were all trying our best. I was telling people in the middle of sets at the gym for god sakes hahaha. I don’t think this should be taken so seriously.. Of course it would have been nice to have free diapers for a year or even 6 months!!! But its a contest, not everyone wins. Nothing is being taken away from you, you just didn’t gain anything. All is good :). Our babies are just as happy as they were before the contest.
Thanks for chosing Preston to be in the top 8!
And thank you for all the nice comments about him. I’m going to save this to show him one day 🙂
Another Nealy fan popping in to refute the bots accusations. Nealy’s mommy is part of a large support network who’ve voted each day. I’m not a bot, just a sister in motherhood!
My vote goes for Asher Dancing to Watch me whip, its awesome
Hi,
Just to ease some minds.
1) I babysit Nealy and am currently in Greeklife at a large university. I shared the link with over 4,000 girls through contacts in our Panhellenic community every time Nealy’s mom shared a post.
2) Nealy’s mom just texted me asking me “What is a bot?”
So. Needless to say, the contest was a fun one, and it was won fair and square.
All your kids are adorable and congrats to everyone on participating in such a fun contest!
