When we are about to become parents, many things are on our minds. Suddenly, we become pros at researching and googling everything. Everything we buy for our babies has to be the best and perfect. A few things, like burp cloths, comfortable clothes, diapers, etc., are needed in large quantities and must be chosen carefully.

When buying cloth diapers, many factors must be considered to ensure that your little one is happy, comfortable, dry, and miles away from diaper rashes. So, for all your diapering dilemmas, here is a guide to help you choose the best for your baby.

Making the First Diaper Decision

It would be best if you first decided whether to go for a disposable diaper or a reusable cloth diaper.

When to consider cloth diapers?

1. Saving Money: Cloth diapers can be cost-effective, especially on a tight budget. While the initial investment might seem higher, baby cloth diapers can be reused multiple times, saving money in the long run. This is particularly beneficial for extended use, until potty training.

2. Eco-Friendly: Cloth diapers are environmentally friendly, washable, and reusable, reducing landfill waste. Ideal for sustainability-conscious parents.

3. Gentle on Skin: Reusable cloth diapers are typically made from soft, breathable materials, gentle on baby's skin, less likely to contain irritants, and allow better airflow, preventing diaper rash.

When to Choose Disposable Diapers:

1. Travelling: Disposable diapers are convenient for travelling parents. Use a SuperBottoms Waterproof Diaper Bag for cloth diapers when travelling.

2. Busy or Sick Caregivers: Disposable diapers offer a temporary, convenient solution for overwhelmed or unwell caregivers unable to manage cloth diaper laundry.

Understanding Diaper Sizes:

Cloth diaper sizing is simpler than it seems. They are generally sized by weight. SuperBottoms Newborn UNO fits newborns to 7 KGS, and SuperBottoms Freesize UNO fits 7 to 17 KGS.

Here's a size guide:

1. Newborn babies - Babies grow fast initially. A combination of Newborn Diapers, Dry Feel Langot, and Padded Underwear is ideal. You'll need 8-12 diapers depending on the baby's needs.

2. Freesize for kids up to 17 kg - 16 diapers are sufficient from 7 kg (around 6 months) until potty training.

Other Considerations:

Consider these before buying newborn diapers:

1. Features - Compare features of different diaper options.

2. Poo and pee habits - Consider your baby's unique pattern when choosing diapers and booster pads.

3. Budget - Determine the number of diapers needed based on habits and laundry schedule. SuperBottoms UNO requires only 16.

4. Skin sensitivity - For sensitive skin, use CPSIA-certified diapers like SuperBottoms UNO.

5. Absorbance - Look for diapers with good absorbance and a dry feel layer.

6. Stretchability and fit - Cotton diapers are adjustable and don't require frequent size upgrades.

7. Convenience - Disposable diapers might be necessary in certain situations.

Key Takeaways:

1• Consider individual needs when choosing diapers.
2• Assess your baby's needs to select the best diaper type.
3• Be flexible and try different solutions.

FAQs:

Q1: Are cloth diapers cheaper?

Q2: Are they hard to clean?

Q3: Do they leak more?
