Similarly, the diaper’s leg holes should be snug without gaps. If you notice the diaper gaping or your baby has frequent leaks, their diapers might be too big.
The front of the diaper should sit just below your baby’s belly button.
The best way to treat diaper rash is to keep your baby’s bottom clean and dry as much as you can.
There are general height and weight charts that your baby may fall on, but babies tend to grow at different rates. As long as your pediatrician says that your baby looks good, you can rest assured that they are developing normally.
Weighing your baby at home is slightly less accurate than getting them weighed on a baby scale in the doctor’s office. However, it’s accurate enough to help you choose the right diaper size for your baby.
Try to center the baby on your torso and hold them close to you so that the scale is as accurate as possible.
For instance, maybe the first number was 225, and the second number was 205. 225 - 205 = 20, so your baby is 20 pounds.
