Every stage of your baby's growth: Understand the requirements for diaper size at different ages

Every baby's development process is full of surprises and challenges, especially in their different stages of development. As new parents, we need to pay close attention to the rate of weight gain and changes in our children's activity levels in order to choose the most suitable diaper size for them.

For newborns, the small size nappies labeled NB(Newborn) are often chosen, which are designed for newborns to fit perfectly to their delicate skin without any binding. As the baby gradually grows into infancy (0-6 months), you can choose a slightly larger S or M diaper to meet the increasing body needs. In the toddler period (6-18 months), as children begin to learn to walk, run and jump, they need to pay more attention to waist elasticity and leg wrapping L diapers. In early childhood (over 18 months), XL or other larger products can be considered according to the actual situation.

For example, Ms. Li's son was only a little over six pounds when he was born, so she initially chose NB diapers for him. With the passage of time, the little boy quickly grew into a lively little man. When he was one and a half years old, his mother found that the ordinary M size was not enough, so she decisively upgraded to the L size, which is more suitable for him. This not only solves the problem of frequent replacement, but also makes the little guy have more fun.

Decrypt size tags: Read what the numbers and symbols on the package mean

Faced with the dazzling array of diaper shelves, parents often feel dazzled and overwhelmed. In fact, as long as you master a few simple concepts can easily get the purchase problem! The first thing we need to know is the common logo of each brand:

• NB-Newborn (newborn baby)
• S / M/L/XL-Small/Medium/Large / Extra-Large

In addition, there are some special parameters worth paying attention to, such as waist circumference, hip circumference and other measurements. These data can help us to judge more accurately which is the best partner for our baby ~ Generally speaking, there will be information similar to the following table on the packaging box:

Of course, the design concept of each brand is slightly different, so before the actual purchase, you may wish to consult the salesperson or check the relevant information on the official website!

Try-on experience sharing: real users tell you which details are most important

In order to bring you first-hand real feedback, we interviewed several experienced mothers and fathers and asked them to talk about their valuable experiences and lessons in the process of selecting diapers for their children.

Mrs. Wang said: "My son often had red buttocks when he first started using a well-known brand of diapers, but later discovered that it was caused by poor blood circulation due to its tight legs." Another Mr. Zhang added: "I found that some brands that seem soft and comfortable are not as durable and durable as ordinary ones, especially when sleeping at night, they are easy to leak and wet the sheets and bedding."

it can be seen from these suggestions that in addition to the appearance and aesthetics, the following aspects should not be ignored:
- **fit**: ensure that there is no obvious gap around the waist and legs
- **breathability**: good ventilation can keep the skin dry and fresh
- **softness**: delicate and skin-friendly material is not easy to cause allergic reactions
- **absorption * *: the core is strong enough to maintain a dry state for a long time

in addition, many parents also reported that they should pay attention to check whether the internal elastic strip will leave marks, and at the same time, they should also pay attention to whether the overall thickness is moderate so as not to affect the freedom of movement.

Scientific measurement method: teach you how to accurately determine the baby's body shape data

Now that you know so much about diaper size, it's your turn to action! It is not difficult to buy the ideal products that completely fit the figure of your little angel. You only need to follow the following steps to be foolproof.

1. Prepare a soft ruler or string to wrap around the body contour;
2. Gently wrap around the highest point of the chest and record the reading as the chest circumference;
3. Repeat the above actions to measure the thickest part of the abdomen in turn, which is called abdominal circumference;
4. Finally, follow the thigh root for one week to obtain the corresponding length, I .e. the thigh root circumference.

It is worth noting that in the whole process must be gentle and careful not to exert too much pressure so as not to hurt the weak body tissue of young children. In addition, it is best to wash your hands before and after each measurement to prevent the risk of bacterial infection. The data obtained in this way can not only be used to determine the correct number required at present, but also to predict the development trend in the future for a period of time, so as to advance
