Mylo Baby Diapers: Diaper Pants and Tape Diapers for Every Stage
Quick Answer
Choose baby diapers by weight, not age, because babies of the same age can differ a lot in size. Mylo baby diapers come in six sizes, from newborn (up to 5 kg) to XXL (15 to 25 kg), in two styles: tape diapers for the newborn stage and diaper pants for babies of every size. Mylo diaper pants use ADL technology for up to 12 hours of leak protection, and if your baby is between two sizes, the larger size usually fits better.
Whether you are buying your first pack before delivery or wondering why the diapers that fit last month have started to leak, this page will help you find the right one. Check your baby's weight, pick the size and the style that suits your routine, and start with a smaller pack if you are trying a new size.
What Size Diaper Does My Baby Need?
Find your baby's weight below, then open that size to see the packs available. The ages are a guide, based on the WHO growth standards. Your baby's weight decides the size.
| Mylo size | Weight | Usual age | Diapers a day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Newborn (NB) diapers | Up to 5 kg | 0 to 2 months | 8 to 12 |
| S size diapers | 4 to 8 kg | 1 to 8 months | 7 to 9 |
| M size diapers | 7 to 12 kg | 5 to 12 months | 6 to 8 |
| L size diapers | 9 to 14 kg | 1 to 2 years | 5 to 7 |
| XL size diapers | 12 to 17 kg | 2 to 3.5 years | 5 to 6 |
| XXL size diapers | 15 to 25 kg | From 3.5 years | 4 to 6 |
Sizes overlap on purpose. If your baby weighs 8 kg, for example, S and M can both fit, so let the fit decide. For more detail, see our diaper size and weight chart.
When Should You Move Up a Diaper Size?
Most parents move up a size when they notice one of these signs:
- leaks at night or at the leg openings
- red marks on the waist or thighs
- the diaper sits low at the back or looks short at the front
- your baby's weight has reached the top of the range
A diaper that fits should feel snug, with room for two fingers at the waist. Run a finger around each leg so the frills sit outward, which stops most leaks.
Diaper Pants or Tape Diapers: Which Is Better?
Neither is better for every baby. Tape diapers are easier while your baby is lying down, and diaper pants are quicker once your baby starts to roll, crawl and stand.
| Tape diapers | Diaper pants | |
|---|---|---|
| How they go on | Open flat and fasten with side tapes | Pull up like underwear; side seams tear open for removal |
| Best for | Changing a newborn lying down, with an easy-to-adjust fit | Active babies and toddlers, and quick changes |
| Mylo sizes | Newborn | Newborn to XXL |
Many parents use tape diapers in the first weeks and move to diaper pants once they are comfortable, or once the baby is more active. Read more on taped diapers vs diaper pants.
Mylo Diaper Pants or AirPrime Premium: What Is the Difference?
Mylo baby diaper pants are the everyday range, with ADL (Acquisition Distribution Layer) technology that spreads wetness evenly, up to 12 hours of leak protection and an aloe vera infused, cotton-soft top layer. They are dermatologically tested, with no added fragrance, latex, alcohol or parabens.
Mylo AirPrime Premium diaper pants are ultra-thin and breathable, and add a wetness indicator that shows a wet diaper at a glance. AirPrime sizes run slightly differently in the first three sizes: S is 5 to 9 kg, M is 8 to 13 kg and L is 10 to 15 kg. XL and XXL match the regular range.
What Should You Look for When Buying Baby Diapers?
The best baby diapers in India are the ones that fit your baby well, keep the skin dry and suit your budget. Check these points before you buy:
- The right fit: a snug fit at the legs and waist, without red marks, prevents most leaks.
- Absorbency: a layer that spreads wetness evenly keeps the surface drier for longer.
- Soft, breathable layers: these matter most for newborn skin and in hot, humid weather.
- Fewer additives: check for added fragrance, latex, alcohol and parabens.
- A wetness indicator: useful during night feeds and for sleeping babies. Mylo AirPrime and newborn diapers have one.
- Cost per diaper: compare the price per diaper, not the pack price. Larger packs usually cost less per diaper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which diaper is best for a newborn baby?
Look for a newborn size with a soft top layer and a fit that is snug at the legs and waist. Mylo newborn diapers fit babies up to 5 kg, in tape and pant styles, and both have a wetness indicator. Our guide to newborn diapers has more detail.
What size diaper does a 6-month-old need?
Most babies weigh about 7 to 8 kg at 6 months, according to the WHO growth standards, which is where S and M overlap. A baby under 7 kg usually stays in S size, and a heavier baby usually fits M size.
What size diaper does a 1-year-old need?
Most babies weigh about 9 to 10 kg at their first birthday, according to the WHO growth standards, which is where M and L overlap. Choose by weight and fit, moving to L size if M leaves marks or leaks at night.
How often should I change my baby's diaper?
Change a diaper as soon as you can once it is wet or dirty. The NHS advises this to help prevent nappy rash (NHS). Up to 12 hours of leak protection helps at night, but it does not mean a diaper should stay on for 12 hours. See how often to change a newborn's diaper.
How many wet diapers should a newborn have?
From about day 5, the NHS says to expect at least 6 heavy wet nappies every 24 hours (NHS). If your baby has fewer, speak to your doctor.
How do I help prevent diaper rash?
Change wet or dirty diapers quickly, clean the skin gently, use the right size and give your baby some diaper-free time (NHS). If you need one, a diaper rash cream can protect the skin. See your doctor if the rash does not settle.
Does Mylo sell reusable cloth diapers?
Yes. Mylo reusable cloth diapers are Oeko-Tex certified and adjust to fit babies from about 3 months to 3 years.
Is it cheaper to buy a bigger pack?
Usually, yes. Mylo diaper pants come in small, regular and jumbo packs, and diapers and wipes combos bundle what you use every day. Check the pack on this page for the current price.
