Quick answers
Parents often ask
Short answers to the questions we hear most. Each one links to the full guide.
Browse all guidesWhy is my baby's diaper leaking at night?
Start with the leg openings and waistband. Straighten the diaper, make sure the leg frills sit outward, and check the size against your baby's current weight. If the diaper is very full when it leaks, capacity and changing needs may be part of the problem too.
Read the full guideWhen should I move from size M to L?
Size letters aren't universal, so check the weight range on the exact pack. Consider moving up when the waist looks strained, a fresh diaper already shows gaps or poor coverage, or leaks keep repeating.
Read the full guidePant style or tape diapers: which is easier?
Tape diapers open flat and adjust at the waist, which suits a baby lying down. Pants pull on through the legs and can feel quicker with an active, wriggling baby. Many families use both at different stages.
