How to fit cloth diapers on babies and toddlers
-
Place the diaper under your baby’s bum
Not too high up on the back, app. 1-2 cm above your baby’s bottom.
-
Pull the front of the diaper over
Pull the front of the diaper up to your baby’s tummy. Make sure it’s pulled high enough to provide a nice fit around the belly.
The back and front of the cloth diaper should be at an equal high all around.
-
Snap-in the waist flaps
Pull the waist flaps and snap into place.
Leave enough wiggle room, 2-3 fingers into the waistband.
-
Tuck away the excess fabric on the waistline
Smooth any excess flaps around the baby´s waistline for a flat and comfortable finish.
-
Tuck up excess front fabric
For a nice smooth finish, tuck front fold fabric upwards.
-
Tuck in the leg elastics
Tuck the leg elastics neatly into baby´s knicker line to avoid leaks. You don’t want to see any visible leg gaps here.
