Tips for Buying Baby Diapers

Have a quick look at the tips for buying baby diapers.

Cloth or Disposable Diapers -

The first thing that you need to decide is whether you want to buy cloth diapers or disposable or a mixture of both. Undoubtedly, the price of disposable diapers is high and till your child is potty trained; you would change thousands of diapers. Secondly, there are times when you will need only disposable diapers. So, it is ideal to keep a small packet of disposable ones along with the cloth diapers.

Opting for cloth diapers will give you many options as far as size is concerned. You can choose from different types of folds and change as the baby grows.

Do not presume that cloth diapers are simply made of cloth. Nowadays you have diapers made of materials that are good absorbents also.

Stocking Baby Diapers -

Do not buy and stock diapers because your baby will be growing fast and you might find one day that the diapers you bought are not useful any more. Diapers are available in different sizes and make sure you have at least one pack bigger than the present size.

Environmental Friendly Diapers -

Today, you have environmental friendly diapers available that do not even leak. Check out this option too for a better tomorrow for your child.

Checking Size of Diapers -

Check the size of the diaper before buying. Some babies do not fit in regular size diapers made for newborns.

How to Save Money While Buying Baby Diapers

  • Check out the internet and shop around to find quality diapers available at low price.
  • Find out if there is any club in your locale where the members get discount on selected brands of newborn products. Do not forget to weigh the pros and cons of joining the club.
  • Decide which mode of shopping you would prefer – online or from your local shop.

When you have decided to join a club of your choice and preference, make sure the annual membership fees justifies the savings you are expecting. Also, when you are searching the internet, take necessary precautions and choose the online shop that is reliable. Check whether the diaper they are selling is safe for your child or not.

Apart from considering the type of the diaper and shape and size of your child, you should also take into account the quality of the diaper before buying. Make sure the material used is skin friendly and the sides are adjustable. Be sure that the elastic, if any, is not tight or makes your child uncomfortable.

I agree with Shubha, it is good and cost effective to use cloth nappies for babies. But parents should make sure that they use clean cloth nappies for babies. Diapers can be used later on when babies grow up. When they are newborns, cloth diapers are preferable.

Hi Neha, It is ok to use cloth nappies in the beginning. In India most of the new mothers use cloth nappies only. However, make sure that you wash them properly and disinfect them properly before reusing them. Cloth nappies are good, reusable and affordable.

It is very nicely written articles. I am an expecting mother and now I know how to buy diapers the right way. I just wanted to know from the other parents if it is ok to use diapers for newborn babies or should I use cloth nappies as my mother in law is insisting on using only cloth nappies during first few months.
