Diaper elastic leaves marks on her waist, did I buy the wrong size?

When I take off the diaper my baby has red marks on her waist and legs. Did I buy the wrong diaper size, should I move up?

These marks usually come from the diaper's leg elastic pressing into skin and often mean the size is too small. If the marks are red, clear, and take a while to fade, it usually means you should go up a size. Also check whether the diaper's front tape is secured symmetrically; uneven taping can cause one-sided pressure. After switching up a size, if the marks improve, the problem is solved. But if they don't improve or if there's skin peeling or swelling, talk to your pediatrician.
