When Should You Upgrade to a Larger Nappy Size?

You might want to switch to a larger size in the following situations:

  • When the thighs or abdomen feel too tight, leaving marks.
  • When the waistband position reaches the outermost side.
  • When the nappy crotch shortens or the waistband falls below the belly button.
  • When the volume of urine or stools increases and leakage becomes an issue.
  • When your baby's weight exceeds the weight range listed for the current size.

How can I prevent leaks when using nappies?

Our nappies are designed with double leak-guard barriers, but here are some things to check when putting them on:

  • The weight range on the nappy packaging is just a guide. If the nappy is too big, it can cause leaks. For example, the nappy may fit snugly around your baby's thighs, but if there's a gap in the crotch area, urine won't be absorbed quickly enough.
  • Make sure the leak-guard edges aren't folded inward. If you're using taped nappies, ensure the waist tabs are symmetrical, not too tight or too loose. A good fit allows space for one finger between the nappy and your baby's tummy.
  • Change the nappies when it's full; if you don't, leaks might occur.
