(Size 1 and 2 Nappies)

Having the right size Nappy will go a long way in striking the balance between containing your child’s mess and giving their skin room to breathe. Nappies come in six sizes, and baby’s height and weight will give you the best estimate of what sized Nappy will fit them.

Nappies should:

Fit snuggly below the belly button and fit around the legs without being too tight. You’ll know they’re too tight if you see a ring where the Nappy has clung to the skin. Run your finger along the leg holes to flare out the Nappy for the most comfortable fit and to help protect from leaks and blowouts.

Cover your baby’s bottom completely and have about a two-finger gap between the skin and the Nappy. You can check this by sliding two fingers down between the Nappy and your baby. If you can’t fit two fingers inside the Nappy, it’s too tight; if you can fit three fingers, it’s too loose.

Fit around the waist. The tabs that come around to fasten in the front of the Nappy are a good indicator of tightness. If the tabs are meeting in the middle, the Nappy might be too big.

By using the right size Nappies, you can help prevent the dreaded blowout. While accidents will happen—it’s just a fact in parenting—right-sized Nappies do their part in keeping your baby comfortable and keeping you free of messes. Additional special features, such as the Drytouch® layer will help quickly absorb and lock away runny poos and Wide pocketed back waistband will help further contain mess from escaping out the back on Huggies® Newborn Nappies.

To change a Nappy:

Check the wetness indicator. If you use Huggies®, there’s a line down the front of your baby’s Nappy called the wetness indicator. If it’s blue, that means the Nappy is wet. Newborns have up to 12 wet Nappies a day, so check frequently.

Remove a soiled Nappy carefully. Undo the tabs on the Nappy and then gently hold your baby’s ankles in one hand. While holding onto your baby with one hand, consolidate the Nappy with the other.

Clean. Wipe baby clean with a baby wipe, wiping from front to back for girls to ensure you’re not spreading bacteria around.

Check the skin for rash. If there is a Nappy rash, pat the skin dry completely and apply a Nappy cream, or treat it as directed by your medical practitioner.

Put on a clean Nappy. Slide a clean, right-sized Nappy under your baby with the fasteners in the back, and make sure all sides are even before securing the tabs.
