A Guide to Diapering For New Borns

Age-By-Age Diapering Guide
New-borns

• Many parents opt to use disposable diapers during the early new-born phase, simply because of the overwhelming amount of dirty diapers that characterise the early weeks
• If you choose disposables, know that many brands call their new-born line “Swaddlers”.

• They make diapers that have a color-changing strip to help parents easily detect wet diapers.
• Look for diapers with an umbilical cord cut-out for those early days.
• Before coming home from the hospital, have both the new-born and size 1 diapers on hand, because you never know how big your baby will be at birth.
• Because some babies are born close to over 8-pound limit, putting them in size 1 to begin with.
• Don't buy diapers of same size 1 because you might want to try out different brands before settling one.
