There's a lot to consider when purchasing diapers. Between budgeting, quality, and sustainability, it may be difficult for mothers to pick the best option. Here's a guide that'll hopefully make the decision a bit easier.
Quality
A diaper's quality is typically based on its performance, material, and fit on the baby. The process of finding the "perfect" quality diapers is different for everyone (Ex: some babies with sensitive skin may need to opt out for a hypoallergenic diaper). Try to cater towards your baby's needs as much as possible.
Price
Given how costly infant goods have become, it's essential to keep your budget in mind. The amount spent varies for each household, but the recommended average is 1200/year. Be mindful that this amount may increase or decrease with time.
Sustainability
While it's not brought up often, the environment ought to come into play when purchasing diapers—especially if they are disposable. Next time you purchase, check for eco-friendly ingredients.
At the end of the day, it's up to you to decide what diapers are best suitable for your baby. If there are any specific brands you'd like to recommend, or points we may have missed, feel free to leave a comment under this post!
