I can't tell if my baby's diaper is too tight or just right. How do I check if it's the right size?

You can use two simple checks to tell if the diaper is the right size and tightness:
Leg cuffs: After putting on the diaper, make sure the elastic cuffs at the leg openings curve inward and fit snugly to the skin—gaps cause leaks, too tight causes marks. You should be able to slip one finger under the cuff comfortably.
Waistband: Slide one finger between the waistband and your baby's belly—if it fits easily, the tightness is right. If your finger won't fit, it's too tight; if two fingers fit easily, it's too loose.
Size check: If the waistband reaches up to the navel area and the side flaps close easily, the size fits. If the flaps barely reach or the waistband gaps, it's time to size up.
