As a mum, you vow to cherish and protect your little one forever

As a mother, you only want the best for your precious little bundle of joy. You go out of your way to ensure that your baby is comfortable at all times.

Like many mums these days, you place top priority on your little one’s needs in everything that you do. You conduct plenty of research before buying something that is closely linked with your baby’s comfort, such as diapers.

This is especially true when it comes to newborns and infants – you know that the diaper you use plays a crucial role in keeping your tiny baby dry and comfortable . It also helps prevent conditions like nappy rash.

We all want our little ones to be comfy at all times!

The quality of the diaper you use is also really important even with older babies who are more active – just imagine trying to crawl, walk and run with a bulky, wet diaper! Mums certainly don’t want that for their babies.

There are several features – 5 to be exact — that you should be looking out for when choosing a diaper for your precious baby.

1. Exceptional breathability

A good diaper should have exceptional breathability

A good diaper has a skin-friendly wavy top sheet that creates gaps; these gaps allow air to flow freely between the diaper and your baby’s skin. This breathability makes your baby stay dry and comfortable at all times.

2. Superb absorbency

Your child’s diaper should have the ability to draw moisture away from the skin

Mums, you certainly don’t want to see your baby’s tender bottom all red and sore-looking as a result of a wet diaper, right? So another feature that you should be looking for in a good diaper is superior absorbency.

For example, a great quality diaper will have a unique double layer absorbent core that instantly draws in and locks away pee and soft poo. When the diaper surface is kept dry, diaper rash is prevented.

3. Soft poo absorbing sheet

You certainly don’t want messy poo leaking out of your baby’s diaper! So make sure you find one that absorbs it too, and not just pee.

We know how much mess a runny poo can create if it leaks out of the diaper. So you really need to look for a diaper that is able to absorb this poo effectively.

Such a diaper will have recessed areas in its top sheets that effectively trap soft poo and prevent its dispersion by continually drawing moisture away. This reduces contact between skin and poo.

4. Ultra softness at crotch area

Look for a diaper that is very soft in the crotch area

Did you know that your baby’s skin is only half as thick as yours? Because of this, it is important to choose a diaper with a soft surface that will not cause abrasions to your little one’s delicate skin.

So, you’re looking for a diaper where the crotch area is so soft that it provides gentle comfort and greater flexibility, even when the baby becomes more active.

In other words, it should transform into a flexible “w” shape at the crotch area to accommodate the baby’s limb movements so no red markets or abrasions will surface.

5. Color-changing wetness indicator

A diaper that can tell you when it’s time for a change can be a blessing indeed!

Another feature you should look for in a good diaper is one which ‘tells’ you when it’s time for a change.

Through the use of a colour-changing wetness indicator, such as one that turns from yellow to dark green as the diaper gets wetter, you will not have to check on your baby’s bottom needlessly!

Merries diapers are a great choice for both newborns and active toddlers!
