Preparing everything necessary for the birth of a baby is a pleasant, but troublesome occupation. One of the tasks is to purchase diapers for newborns with a belly button cutout, because mom will need them already in the hospital. What is the difference between models for newborns and how to choose the best?
Features
To choose the ones that suit newborns among the whole variety of diapers, look for either the special mark newborn (“newborn” in English) or the abbreviation NB. Also focus on the weight of the child indicated on the pack. The smallest size is usually up to 5 kilograms, and it suits just born babies. Some manufacturers also have rulers for lightweight children, up to 2.5-3 kilograms, but we do not recommend buying them in advance, as they are rarely useful to anyone.
Diapers of different brands have different patterns, and also differ slightly in height or width, so for some children one brand is more suitable, while others have similar leaks. Therefore, it is better to buy 2-3 small packages from different manufacturers and choose the perfect ones.
What distinguishes diapers for newly born children is a special notch on the belt under the navel. It is not available for all manufacturers, for example, for the most famous brand of diapers in the line for the smallest ones, and this is Pampers premium care, such a notch is not provided. But its presence is very convenient, since in the first days after birth, the umbilical wound is very sensitive and it is better not to touch it again and not to cover it with a dense elastic band. If there is no such notch, mom will have to turn the edge of her panties every time and make sure that he does not rub the navel.
And another important difference of diapers for newborns is a special absorbent layer. The stool of a baby in the first days and weeks after birth is very frequent and loose. To absorb it, special absorbents are required that will not allow liquids to get out, but at the same time allow gentle skin to breathe and not create the effect of a greenhouse.
Consider the main brands presented in our stores and meet all these requirements.
Libero Newborn
This is a fairly budget option, which, however, has several advantages - the skin in these diapers breathes, the navel does not rub with an elastic band, and the indicators tell you when it is time to change the diaper. They also do not contain any lotions and fragrances, so they are suitable for children with the most delicate skin.
In the Newborn line there are diapers for newborns with a cutout for the navel marked with 0, they are suitable for premature and small babies up to 2.5 kg. Marking 2 for a weight of 3-6 kg is suitable for ordinary children from the first days of life. Packs come in different sizes of 26, 52 and 94 pieces. The price of one diaper is about 14 rubles.
Huggies elite soft
Everyone knows this diaper manufacturer, even those who have no children. The brand has long been on the market of the whole world and has a variety of lines for different weight, age, gender and characteristics of the child. Among them are the smallest for newborns - Elite Soft. Their absorbent layer consists of soft pads that absorb meconium well and do not completely touch the skin, which gives less chance of irritation. Found in packs of 27 and 84 pieces. A large pack is more profitable, since 1 piece costs about 10 rubles, but also a small enough budget - the cost of one diaper is about 12 rubles.
Diapers Moony NB
This is one of the Japanese brands of diapers that have been especially loved by mothers for several years in a row, and this is not surprising. These diapers for babies with a navel cutout are thin, soft, and breathable; they rarely cause sweating or skin rashes, even in children prone to dermatitis. Previously, they could only be bought on the Internet by special order, but today there are a variety of Japanese brands in almost any children's department.
Moony's diapers for newborns are very soft, with elastic at the sides and back, they do not crush, but hold liquid baby stools securely. They also have an anatomical pattern and a mandatory cutout for the navel. Sold only in large packages of 90 pieces at a price of about 1,500 rubles, that is, the price per piece is 16.5 p.
Merries NB and XS
Merries is the most popular Japanese brand, very high quality breathable and perfectly absorbent diapers. Rounded reusable Velcro will not scratch delicate skin, and elastic bands will not rub even between the legs.
