My baby is growing and I don't want to miss when diapers get too small. What signs tell me it's time to move up?

Signs it's time to move to a larger diaper size:

  • Leaks, the most common sign: if liquid is coming out from the leg elastics or waistband, it may be time for a larger size.
  • Pressure marks: if red marks remain on the belly or legs after removing the diaper, it's too tight.
  • Waistband placement: if the front band sits below the belly button or won't fasten, you need a bigger size.
  • Weight limit: check the weight range on the package; if your baby is at the middle or upper end of that range, you can consider moving up.

A common practice: try the larger size during the day; if it feels too loose at first, try again in a week or two. Every baby has a different body shape, so two babies at the same weight might need different sizes.
