Understanding the Calculation
The Diaper Size Calculator uses a simple formula to estimate the appropriate diaper size based on a baby's weight. The formula is:
Size = round((Weight in pounds / 2) + 18)
This formula provides a general guideline for diaper sizing based on weight alone. Note that this calculator does not take into account other factors such as hip size, leg length, or growth patterns, which may also influence the appropriate diaper size.
Important Considerations
- Diaper sizes can vary between brands, so it's always best to check the specific size charts provided by your preferred diaper brand.
- This calculator provides only an estimate based on weight and may need to be adjusted based on your baby's individual needs.
- If you're unsure about which size to choose, it's generally safer to select a size that is slightly larger rather than too small.
- Always check your baby for signs of diaper leakage, such as wet or dirty diapers, to ensure they're in the correct size.
