Parenthood is a journey filled with joy, surprises, and plenty of questions along the way. To help you navigate through the diapering experience with ease, we’ve curated a collection of insightful guides tailored to address common concerns and provide tips. Whether you’re wondering when it’s time to change diaper sizes or why those unexpected leaks and blowouts happen, our guides are here to offer support and guidance. Because every parent deserves confidence and peace of mind during this special time.
When a “blowout” happens, your first thought may be to blame the diaper. But it might just be that the diaper is the wrong size for your baby. Size is one of the most common causes of a leak or blowout.
If a diaper is too small, it can leak because there isn’t enough absorbency for the volume of pee or poop.
If the leg cuffs don’t fit properly or are tucked inside the diaper, pee can leak out the sides.
If a diaper is too big, urine and poop may leak out of the gaps before the diaper can absorb it
The chart below is a great guide to helping you choose a diaper size based on your child’s weight and stage, but you’ll also need to check for telltale signs of a poor fit once your baby is wearing them. Persistent leaks, red marks on baby’s skin, or gaps are signs of an improper fit. If your baby is nearing the top of the weight range, it may be time to consider moving up a size. R
It’s recommended to consider the age in correlation with the weight to be safe.
Switching up diaper sizes should be something you consider every 3-4 months, depending on how fast you notice changes in your baby. Infants grow very fast and so should their diapers. You should consider using slightly larger diapers even if the current ones are not yet tight, this is because the size of a diaper determines its absorbency. The bigger the size the more it absorbs, aside from your baby’s comfort, this is reason enough to switch up when you can.
Monitor your baby’s comfort, persistent leaks, red marks, or gaps. If your baby is nearing the top of the weight range for their current diaper, it may be time to switch to the next size.
Leaks can occur if a diaper is too small, causing insufficient absorbency, or too big, leading to gaps. Improper leg cuff fit or tucking can also result in leaks.
It’s recommended to check diaper fit every 3–4 months, or sooner if your baby experiences frequent leaks, discomfort, or rapid growth.
Use your baby’s weight as a primary guide and consider their age. Check for a snug, gap-free fit without leaving red marks on the skin for optimal comfort.
Yes. Diaper size affects absorbency. Larger diapers hold more fluid, ensuring comfort and reducing the chance of leaks as your baby grows.
Yes. If a diaper is too large, gaps may form before absorption occurs, allowing urine or stool to escape.
Look for red marks on the skin, discomfort, or restricted movement. These are indicators that it may be time to move up a size.
Absolutely. Switching slightly larger diapers even before tightness occurs ensures better absorbency and comfort for your baby.
