I always want to choose the best for my child. And when it comes to newborns, parents are completely obsessed with the quality, safety and environmental friendliness of everything that is directly related to the baby. For example, the most stringent requirements are imposed on disposable diapers.
Guess with size
The main thing to start with when choosing diapers is size. Usually diapers for newborns are designated by the words "newborn" or "nb". All diaper sizes are additionally numbered based on the weight of the child. For newborns, there is a marking of 0-5 kg (mainly for products of Japanese manufacturers) or 3-5 kg. On some packages, you can find the weight and size next to the numbers - S, M, L and XL. Accordingly, S is the smallest size and XL is the largest. For newborn babies choose size S. There are special diapers for premature and low birth weight babies up to three kilograms (Bella Baby, Moltex Baby, Goon). Such hygiene products take into account all the features of the development of premature babies, have a delicate texture, comfortable fasteners and, most importantly, a small size.
Liquid under control
Now they sell ecological phyto-diapers, which include natural raw materials.
After you decide on the size, you need to find the brand of diapers that are perfect for your baby. But how can this be done if the quality of a diaper can only be determined in “action”? Yes, basically the consumer properties of a product can be learned only by starting to use it. But not everyone wants to experiment on their own child. To choose the best product, determine the quality standards for yourself.
The main criterion for all diapers is the ability to absorb and retain liquid well. You can believe whether the diaper remains dry by looking to see if the baby's bottom turns red after the baby has been in the diaper for 3-4 hours. If the skin is red and damp, it means that the diaper does not absorb water well, and this is fraught with irritation of the baby's skin and bad mood. Pay attention to the side elastic. It must be wide enough and flexible, otherwise liquid may leak out. If this happens regularly, there can be two reasons: poor absorbency of the diaper or changing it too infrequently.
The most tender
Now you can find panties with a cutout in the navel area so that the top of the diaper does not rub the umbilical wound (Moony, Libero).
Another important criterion for hygiene products for newborns is its softness. A diaper with a rough inner part can injure the baby's skin, chafe, and in boys, irritate the glans. In the maternity hospital, manufacturing firms give mummies samples of their products for advertising purposes. Two or three "diapers" can be quite put up for testing. Take the diaper, feel the inner seam with your hands, examine the side elastic bands, are the Velcro comfortable, can you unbutton it several times without losing quality. Particularly meticulous parents pour water into the diaper and watch how quickly it is completely absorbed and dries.
