If you’re wondering what size nappies to take to the hospital or birthing centre in your hospital bag, keep in mind that a newborn baby doesn’t necessarily need a size 0 nappy. Depending on your baby’s birth weight, it’s possible a larger size will be the best fit, so take a few of each of the smaller sizes of newborn nappies to try. If you don’t have scales at home or don’t feel confident about weighing your baby yourself, a health visitor at your local baby clinic will be happy to do it for you at any time. To weigh your baby, you can use your normal bathroom scales. Take off your baby’s clothes and nappy, and then step on the scale while holding him or her.

To keep things simpler, Pampers nappy sizes are based on baby weight – not things like age or gender. If the nappy is too small, it can leak because there isn’t enough absorbency for the volume of pee or poo

As your baby grows, he or she will have different nappy needs. This is why not all nappy types are available in all sizes. For example, the nappy types designed with more active babies in mind start at size 3 or size 4 as your baby will likely be far more active as he grows.The leg cuffs shouldn’t have any gaps. After the nappy is on, run two fingers around just inside the leg cuffs to get them in the proper position to help prevent leaks. Pampers Harmonie nappies (previously Pampers Pure) are crafted with premium cotton, soft plant-based fibres, and other thoughtfully selected materials, they’re dermatologically tested and gentle on your baby’s skin.
