Find the Perfect Diaper for Your Baby
A rite of passage for parents is standing in the diaper aisle trying to figure out which diaper your child needs and when. (You might have even done it before your baby was here, just to get a sense of the options!) For new parents, this can be a head-scratcher, and that’s before you even consider sizing.
Here’s our handy, easy-to-use tool to help you figure out which Huggies® diapers are the best for your needs. It’ll ask you a few simple questions, such as when you need diapers (daytime, nighttime, swimming), if your baby is crawling or walking, if your baby has sensitive skin, and what is most important to you in a diaper. Then you can make the best decision that feels right for your family and get back to what matters most – those precious moments with your little one.
When you need Huggies® diapers
Your baby will wear diapers for the majority of his or her first two to three years. There are three main times when you will need diapers: Daytime use, nighttime use, and swimming.
Daytime use: During the day, your child’s diaper needs will shift over time. In the beginning, your newborn can go through up to 8 diaper changes a day! As they get older, the number of diapers you need dwindles until potty training.
Nighttime use: Did you know that your baby, especially in the first few months, can sleep up to 17 hours a day? Newborn sleep is interrupted in the beginning by constant feedings—and constant diaper changes. As your child ages and starts sleeping through the night, you’ll use fewer diapers overall, but especially at night.
Swimming: Many public and private swimming pools, lakes or beaches require little ones to be in diapers specifically made for water playtime.
Stages for Huggies® diapers
There will be several developmental stages your child will go through while they are in diapers. They are learning about the world around them, and Huggies® diapers can help assist with the messy stuff so you can focus on all this new curiosity instead. Here are several stages where your baby will need diapers:
Newborn diapers: While all babies have sensitive skin, newborns have incredibly sensitive skin and require diapers that are different from what a toddler or crawling baby needs. Huggies® diapers in newborn sizes have features like an umbilical cord cutout for comfort, additional features like a blowout blocker to help contain inevitable newborn blowouts.
Crawling and walking diapers: Once your baby starts moving, you’ll require different diapers to keep up with them! Huggies® diapers for crawling and walking babies have special features like Double Grip Strips to keep the mess contained as you try to tackle the impossible feat of changing a moving target’s diaper. After your baby makes it to toddlerhood, they’ll be on to potty training.
Huggies® sensitive skin diapers
Your baby might have sensitive skin as a newborn, or they might have sensitive skin into toddlerhood. Either way, there’s a Huggies® diaper for that. All Huggies® diapers are made with soft materials and are dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic. They are also free of irritants like fragrance and elemental chlorine.
What’s most important in a diaper
While all Huggies® diapers are gentle, scientifically backed, and help keep your baby comfortable and dry, there additional benefits such as:
