Sizing

Babies come in all different shapes and sizes and they all eat and drink different quantities. You may find that although your baby is still within the recommended weight range for the size, the next size up is more absorbent, which is especially important at night.

There is an overlap in sizes in the larger nappies to take into account that as babies grow, there can be a much bigger discrepancy in ages and shapes, which may mean that one 13kg baby is fine in the maxi size, but another 13kg baby needs the maxi plus.

We find that the optimum weight ranges are:

• Newborn: from birth to around 3.5kgs    
• Mini: from approximately 3.5kgs to around 5kgs    
• Midi: from 5kgs to just under 9kgs    
• Maxi: from around 8 1/2 kgs to around 13kgs    
• Maxi plus: from around 13kgs    
• Junior and XL plus: from around 15kgs    
• Training pants come in 14kgs plus and 18kgs plus, but do tend to run on the small side.
