Understanding Newborn Characteristics
Let’s understand the physical characteristics of newborns. At birth, newborns typically weigh between 2.5 and 4 kg and are about 45 to 53 cm long. As babies grow, their bodies also change rapidly, so diaper selection needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Choosing diaper sizes
S: Suitable for babies weighing 4 to 8 kg.
M: For babies weighing approximately 6 to 11 kg.
L: Suitable for babies weighing 9 to 14 kg.
XL: Suitable for babies weighing 12 to 17 kg.
2XL: For babies weighing more than 15 kg.
How to measure your baby correctly
1. Measure the weight: Use a baby scale to weigh your baby regularly and record the data each time so you can keep track of your baby’s growth.
2. Check fit: After putting on the diaper, gently insert your finger between your baby’s thigh and waist and the diaper. If you can easily insert your finger, the size is right; if it is too loose or too tight, you need to change the size.
Hints
Pay attention to the fabric: Choose a material that is breathable, soft and comfortable to avoid baby skin allergies.
Trial pack: When you buy for the first time, you can buy a small package for trial to see if the baby can adapt.
Change on time: If the diaper is wet or dirty, change it in time to keep the baby dry.
Watch the reaction: If you notice that the baby has a red bottom or other symptoms of discomfort, seek medical attention in time and consider switching to other brands of diapers.
Choosing the right diaper size can not only help baby feel comfortable, but can also help reduce the occurrence of problems such as diaper rash. As parents, we need to carefully monitor each change in baby’s growth and adjust the diaper size accordingly.
