- Frequent leaks or blowouts: If the nappy is leaking even when it’s not full, it might be too small.
- Red marks on the skin: Tight elastic around the legs or waist can indicate the nappy is too tight.
- Difficulty fastening tabs: If the tabs barely reach the front or you have to pull hard, it’s time to size up.
- Weight range exceeded: Check the weight guide on pack for your particular nappy- if your baby is at or above the upper limit, size up.
- Every little one and every nappy brand is different- based on the size and shape of your child you may need to switch sizes earlier, and their size may vary by brand.
- Overnight you may be looking for extra absorbency- try the extra absorbency variants of your nappy which have a plus (+) in the size (e.g. 4+ or 5+), or try going one size up at night.
