Choosing Good Newborn Baby Diapers
Diapers are undeniably the most important piece of clothing for
your child. When you have a newborn, choosing the best disposable diaper may
seem like a relentless task. Though doctors and family can offer guidance, as a
mother only you will know what suits your baby best.
By looking at a package, it is impossible to compare brands and
check for fit, comfort and absorbency. You also cannot decide based on the
price. Here are a few tips to help you choose the best newborn baby diapers.
Few Initial Pointers
·
Firstly consider your baby’s needs. How long will the baby be on
diapers? Will your baby be in diapers all day and all night? Or just the
nights?
·
Try multiple brands until you are satisfied with the fit and
performance
·
Never stock up on diapers before birth. Wait until you see the
baby’s waist circumference
·
Several brands have their own sizing charts. Check it carefully
before buying
Absorbency should be most important deciding
factor
Be it
disposable or cloth baby diapers, the most
important aspect is its absorbency. When the material used in the diaper has
good absorbency, it will be able to hold more liquid and distribute he moisture
across the surface. An absorbent diaper should also hold the moisture away from
the bay’s skin for long hours.
Poor absorption material in the diaper leads to dampness and
then rashes. The core absorbent layer of the diaper is the Super Absorbent
Polymer (SAP).
Fit is important opt avoid leaks
The
size of the diaper is differentiated based on the weight of your baby. However,
sizing varies based on brands. Most manufacturers use the double elastic
sealing edge; one close to the absorbent core and the other along the outer
edges of the diaper. Despite the double edge some newborn diapers may lead to
leaks.
When the fabric is soft it clings to the body in a comfortable
way and avoids leaks. A stiffer fabric may leave gaps that create a poor fit
and may lead to leaks.
Be prepared for trial and error
Every
baby is different in terms of proportions and what may seem perfect for one
baby may not suit you infant. The best way to find the right fit is by testing
multiple models from different brands. Until you find the one that suits your
little one best, never buy in bulk.
