How to choose baby diaper sizes?

⚡ Short answer: Choose the diaper size based on your baby's weight, not age; if red marks appear, size up; if there's constant leaking, check.

This is what I wonder most in my first year of motherhood: how to choose baby diaper sizes?

It's very normal for a new mom to feel confused about diaper sizes — they can seem confusing sometimes. The basic rule is this: choose by your baby's weight, not by age. Each brand shows the weight range on the package (usually in kilograms).

If the diaper is too tight — it leaves red marks, your baby has marks on their belly or thighs — it's time to size up. If you have constant leaking (from the legs or waist), that usually means the diaper is too small. The opposite happens if the diaper is too loose and there are gaps around the legs — you might need to size down.

The best tip: before you finish a box, get a small trial pack of the next size and test it on your baby. Every baby has a different body shape, so the best guide will be how your baby responds.
