How to Choose a Diaper Size

Before you plan on stocking up on diapers, it is important that you know the right diaper size for your little one to ensure that you won’t be wasting money on it. Also, picking the right diaper size will ensure total comfort and no “burst outs” on your little one.

For your convenience, here are the steps on how to choose the right diaper size:

1. Know the type of diaper your child wears – Most cloth diapers are only one-size and doesn’t necessarily require the right size of your baby. In short, cloth diapers can easily fit on any kid.
2. Get to know your child’s weight – Most diaper packages are classified by the different weight categories. With that in mind, you need to know your child’s weight. It’s ideal not to stock up a lot of disposable diapers considering that your child will eventually start to grow in just a matter of months.
3. Don’t always depend on the size category of one brand with the other ones – As you know, every brand will do whatever they can to outsmart and outdo their competitors. When you plan on using different diaper brands, make sure to always read the packaging to have an idea which size your baby falls into.
4. If your child is in between the weight limit/sizes then always use the larger size – If your child falls in the borderline sizes then it can be a bit of a tricky decision for you. Just keep in mind that diapers are roomy but they still snug in place when it’s worn on the child.
5. If your child outgrows the other sizes then consider using training pants/pull-up diapers – There comes a time that your child may outgrow the other diaper sizes. When that happens, it’s time that you take the pull-ups into consideration. If you want to have the same absorbency for your baby then bedwetting diapers are the better choice. These diapers may be a bit larger but it sure does get the job done.
