How to Choose the Right Size Diapers for Newborn

Have you recently welcomed a little one into your family and now find yourself running through baby diaper aisles at the supermarket in frustration, looking and analysing diaper size charts? Well, you’ve come to the right place!

With a newborn in your home, you’ll be changing as many as 10 diapers a day! Let’s do the math: that adds up to as many as 70 diapers per week, around 300 diapers per month, and nearly 3,360 diapers during the first year! And what’s more? Babies grow at an inhuman speed! With an investment this big, it pays to become a baby diaper expert as early in the game as possible.

Today, we’re here to share some important tips and information that will make you a pro in no time at all!

Choosing the right diaper

First things first: Companies don’t manufacture diapers based on the age or waist sizes, but rather as per the weight of babies.

Most newborn babies will start in the newborn size (NB), and then at least graduate to S, M, and L sizes during their first year. Premature babies weighing less than 2.5 kg might need smaller sized diapers for much longer than full-term babies.

Now, when selecting diapers for newborns, only go for NB size diapers that offer navel protection such as Teddyy Baby Diapers. Teddyy Diapers allow your little one’s navel region to air out and heal quickly after their stump has fallen off.

Most kids remain in diapers until the age of 2 or 3 years. During this stage, your kid will be constantly on the move, so it’s essential to look for diapers with strong tapes or comfortable waistbands. Teddyy Diapers’ strong waistbands ensure a secure fit and allow your child to explore and play without any discomfort or leaks.

Baby diaper size chart

Some parents might find it surprising that almost every baby diaper brand has five sizes, including NB, S, M, L, and XL, but the sizing chart varies from brand to brand. For instance, what can be considered S-size in one brand, may edge into NB-size or M-size in another brand.

With that in mind, here’s the sizing chart for Teddyy Baby Diapers, newborn to extra-large!

1. Newborn size (NB): 2 to 5 Kg
2. Small size (S): 3 to 8 Kg
3. Medium size (M): 6 to 11 Kg
4. Large size (L): 9 to 13 Kg
5. Extra-large size (XL): 13 to 17 Kg

As you may notice, the weight range for many sizes overlap between two different sizes. In such cases, consider your baby’s body type when picking a diaper size. Imagine your baby weighs 10 kg so they will need medium or large size diapers; if they’re lean and tall, then they may benefit from the smaller size of the two – medium size. If they’re large and chubby, L-size may fit them best. With some trial and error, you’ll get the hang of it.

Signs your baby needs a diaper size upgrade

How do you know your baby needs a bigger diaper size? Look out for the following indicators that signal it’s time to upgrade their diaper fit:

1. The side tapes often pop open.
2. The leg bands and waistband feel tight. Ideally, you should be able to comfortably fit two fingers underneath the waistband when it is worn.
3. There are red marks or irritation around the diaper area.
4. It’s difficult to put on the diaper comfortably.
5. The diaper doesn’t fully cover your baby’s little bottom.
6. You frequently experience issues with leakage.
7. Your baby appears uncomfortable in the diaper.
