New here? The diaper guide for first-time parents

New here? So were we, once upon a time. This is everything we wish someone had told us about diapers before the baby arrived, no lecturing.

Which diapers for a newborn?

Many babies wear The Mini for the first few weeks and then move on to The Newborn. Our best tip: keep both sizes at home from the start so you can see which one fits your baby best. Babies are built differently, and weight ranges are always just an indication. The size guide will help you choose.

Good to know in the first weeks

  • 10–12 changes a day, change at every feeding and always right away after a poopy diaper
  • Around 2,500 diapers in the first year, more than most people guess
  • Try before you stock up, a trial kit with 3 diapers shows you the fit before you buy in bulk
  • Newborn skin is sensitive, choose fragrance-free for everything that touches the skin, including wipes

Make everyday life easier from day one

You can start a diaper subscription even before your baby is born and adjust it freely, switch sizes, pause, or skip deliveries anytime, with no commitment.

Frequently asked questions

What size should a newborn wear?

Most newborns start in The Mini (3–5 kg) or The Newborn (4–7 kg). Go by your baby's weight, not the calendar, and use the size guide.

How many diapers does a newborn need per day?

Count on 10–12 diaper changes a day during the first few weeks. That adds up to around 2,500 diapers in the first year alone.

How many diapers does a child use in total before potty training?

Roughly 6,000 diapers from birth to potty training. That's why many parents look at the price per diaper — and why the subscription exists.

How often should I change a newborn's diaper?

At every feed and every poopy diaper — in practice, every two to three hours during the day. At night, it's usually enough to change at feeds, as long as the diaper is holding up.

What should I have at home before the baby arrives?

One opened pack in the smallest size, a sample kit in the size up, fragrance-free wipes and a calm spot for changes. The rest sorts itself out.

Can I start a subscription before my baby is born?

Yes, start your subscription whenever you like and choose a start date around your due date. You can pause, skip deliveries or change size at any time in your account. Many parents start with both The Mini and The Newborn at home to see which one fits their baby best.

Can I try before I buy a whole pack?

Yes, we have sample kits with 3 diapers in several sizes, both open diapers and pant diapers. A smart start if you're unsure about size or fit.
