Understanding Diaper Needs
Choosing the Right Diaper Size
The most accurate way to choose your baby's diaper size is by weight, but body shape also matters. A tall, slim baby may need a larger size than the weight chart suggests to prevent leakage.
- Check for red marks on legs or waist (size too small)
- Ensure adequate bottom coverage
- Waistband should allow two fingers comfortably
- Tabs should connect easily without stretching
Diaper Usage Patterns
Newborns use the most diapers, with usage decreasing as babies grow older. Factors affecting usage include:
- Age and development stage
- Feeding frequency and diet
- Individual metabolism
- Sleep patterns and routines
Cost Planning Tips
- Don't stock up too much on newborn sizes - babies grow quickly
- Buy larger quantities of sizes 2-4 (most commonly used)
- Consider bulk purchasing for better unit prices
- Factor in potential size changes during your planning period
