Choosing a diaper is often one of the first and most frequent tasks for a new parent. Yet, figuring out the right size and fit can feel like a guessing game. A diaper that is too small leads to red marks and discomfort, while one that is too big means inevitable leaks and 'blowouts'—especially in Qatar's active environment!
The single most important rule to remember is: Diaper size is based on your baby's weight, not their age.
While every brand is slightly different, the weight ranges for diapers overlap to account for the unique shape of every baby. Here is a general guide you can use for most major brands available on Diaperhouse.qa:
| Size | Weight Range (Approx.) | Stage |
| Preemie (P) | Up to 3 kg | Premature or smaller newborns. |
| Newborn (N) | Up to 4.5 kg | For the first few weeks; often features a navel cutout. |
| Size 1 | 3.5 kg – 6.5 kg | The first major transition size. |
| Size 2 | 5.5 kg – 8 kg | Used during the first few months of rapid growth. |
| Size 3 | 7 kg – 13 kg | Often the longest-used size, catering to mobile babies. |
| Size 4 | 10 kg – 17 kg | For active toddlers and crawlers. |
| Size 5 & 6 | 13 kg + | For toddlers approaching potty training. |
Don't wait until your baby hits the top weight limit on the box. Look for these crucial signs:
Pro Tip for Multi-Vendor Shopping: Since brands vary, don't buy a mega-box in a new size right away. Purchase a small pack from different vendors on Diaperhouse.qa to test which brand's fit works best for your baby's unique shape before committing to a larger quantity.
