As such, parents will want to know where to find diapers on sale to save as much as possible. There are two main types of diapers commonly used and they are disposable diapers and cloth diapers. Disposable diapers are used more often daily while cloth diapers are use when parents are bringing their baby for outings.

How to choose diapers

A good way to save on diapers is to buy the correct size for your baby. Although it is difficult to predict how fast your baby will grow, a little bit of planning prevent you from buying too many diapers unnecessarily. The first thing to understand about diapers sizes is how diaper companies label the sizes. You can find the following common sizes and description for baby packages.

• Size P (P-S) (Preemie) diapers - This type of diapers are recommended for premature babies and sizes are usually much smaller than normal. Most brands comes with umbilical cord notch design. Up to 6lbs.
• Size N (Newborn) - Commonly use for newborns in the first few weeks after birth. Therefore it is important not to buy too many as most infant will start initially on newborn size but wont be on them for long. Also, it depends on how big your baby is when they are born, the size does matter. Note that some diaper brands have the belly button notch cut out of the waist band on the newborn diapers. Up to 10lbs.
• Size 1 to Size 6 - After the first few weeks of birth, you will most likely switch to normal diapers in various sizes. As a guide the following represents some common size based on weight of baby.
• Size 1 - Up to 14 lbs
• Size 2 - 12 to 18 lbs
• Size 3 - 16 to 28 ibs
• Size 4 - 22 to 37 lbs
• Size 5 - Over 27 lbs
• Size 6 - Over 35 lbs
• (2T - 3T) (Pull ups) - Up to 34 lbs
• (3T - 4T) - 32 to 40 lbs
• (4T - 5T) - 38+ lbs

You do not need to follow the Sizes in sequence as most babies weigh differently growing up, so the Sizes are just guides to help parents choose suitable size diapers. You may skip Size 1 and go straight to Size 2 after wearing Size N depending on how big the baby grows during the first few weeks. Therefore it is best not to buy too many same Size diapers before you are ready to use them. Most babys will use Size 1 to Size 4 in the first 2 years. Another point to note is different diaper brands differ in size slightly, for example huggies are a bit smaller than most brands and Pampers seems to be slightly bigger for similar weight range. By the first 2 years, parents will most likely move to bigger sizes of disposable diapers or pull ups if child is still not potty ready.

Size is just one small factor to consider when shopping for baby diapers, the other factor being the quality of the diaper. Good material and design of the diaper will help provide softness and comfort for the baby and the material must be absorbent to prevent leaks. If you want to know what are the best brand of diapers to buy for your baby, you may want to find out from other parents as they will often provide unbiased recommendation since they use the diapers for their babies.
