Newborn Diapers (Up to 5 kg): NB Diaper Pants & Taped Diapers

Best Diapers for Newborns from Mylo

Mylo Newborn Tape Diapers

Mylo Baby Newborn Tape Diapers are designed for babies weighing up to 5 kg. Their open tape design features adjustable magic grip tabs that let you customise the fit around your baby's tummy. The diapers feature an acquisition distribution layer (ADL) for quick, even fluid absorption, an aloe vera top layer to protect delicate skin and a built-in wetness indicator.

Available in a handy 9-count trial pack and larger 52-piece packs, these taped diapers offer mild care and a flexible fit for newborns who spend most of their time lying down.

Mylo Newborn Diaper Pants

Mylo Baby Newborn Diaper Pants are a pull-up option for parents who prefer underwear-style nappies. They make diaper changes easier as your baby starts kicking and moving their legs more actively.

The soft, stretchy 360-degree waistband adjusts as your baby's belly expands after milk feeds. Tear-away side seams make nappy changes quick and simple. The advanced ADL core provides up to 12 hours of dry protection, while breathable pores and 2X Faster Absorption help keep your baby dry and happy.

Available in convenient bundles, including a 78-count, these pull-up pants are among the best diapers for newborns, offering excellent day-and-night protection.

Benefits of Mylo Newborn Diapers

• Our newborn cloth diapers feature gentle top sheets that feel soft against sensitive skin and prevent chafing.
• Skin-friendly materials like aloe vera and shea butter help protect the skin barrier and reduce the risk of rashes.
• Breathable outer layers allow air to circulate, preventing heat buildup and keeping the nappy fresh.
• The absorbent core quickly draws in fluid and spreads it evenly, keeping moisture away from your baby's skin.
• High absorbency keeps the surface dry, helping your baby stay restful during night-time sleep.
• Flexible leg guards fit snugly around tiny thighs, preventing leaks without leaving red marks.
• The stretchy waistband moves with your baby, providing a secure fit during feeds and tummy time.
• Wetness indicators change colour when wet, helping you know when to change a nappy.

How to Choose the Right Newborn Diaper

• Weight Assessment - Check your baby's weight, not age. Newborn and Extra Small (XS) size usually fits babies weighing up to 5 kg. For smaller babies weighing up to 3 kg, tape nappies offer a closer fit with adjustable tabs and a lower waistband.
• Fitting Comfort - Keep the waistband below the navel, leaving room for two adult fingers underneath. This keeps your baby comfortable all day. Pull out the inner leg cuffs so they fit gently around the thighs without bunching or pinching.
• Incorrect Fit Signs To Look Out For - Red marks on the thighs, frequent leaks around the waist or fastening tabs sitting on the outer hips may mean the newborn nappies are too small, while gaps around the legs suggest they are too large.
• Signs To Change Size - Move up a size when your baby reaches the upper weight limit for the current size or needs more absorbency as feeds increase.

Newborn Diaper Care & Everyday Use

• Change the diaper every 2 to 4 hours or immediately after a stool.
• Check the colour-changing indicator instead of relying on diaper thickness, as the surface may feel dry even when full.
• Wipe gently from front to back with pure water wipes, then let the skin air-dry before fastening taped diapers for newborns.
• Allow a few minutes of nappy-free time during daytime changes to soothe the diaper area.
• Keep diapers, wipes and clean outfits ready at the changing station so your baby is never left unattended.
• Choose small trial packs for hospital bags and the first week at home, then switch to larger packs once you confirm your baby's size.
