How to Choose the Right Diaper Size
Consider Your Baby’s Weight
The most reliable way to determine the correct size is by your baby’s weight. Always refer to the diaper size chart to find the best fit.
Check the Fit Waistband:
The diaper should fit snugly around the waist without being too tight. You should be able to slide two fingers under the waistband.
Leg Cuffs: Make sure the leg openings fit well and do not cause red marks. If leaks occur around the legs, consider going up a size.
Absorbency: If diapers frequently leak or get soaked quickly, it may be time to size up.
Signs That You Need a Bigger Size
- Red marks around the waist or thighs.
- Frequent leaks or blowouts.
- Difficulty fastening the diaper tabs.
- Baby seems uncomfortable or irritated
