Newborn liners are an essential type of diaper for newborns, making it easier for parents to care for their babies. To help mothers find good quality, safe newborn liners, AVAKids introduces the top 7 most popular products currently available.

What are newborn liners?

Newborn liners, also known as newborn diapers, are baby hygiene products shaped like sanitary napkins. The liner is attached inside a cloth diaper to absorb the baby’s urine and meconium. Compared to sanitary napkins, newborn liners are much longer, fully covering the baby’s body from front to back.

The top layer of the newborn liner is made of soft cotton fibers, protecting the baby’s delicate skin. The bottom layer is made of nylon to prevent urine leakage. Mothers often use this product during the baby’s first month of life because, at this time, the baby’s urine and stool output is very small, making using newborn liners extremely convenient.

Should newborn liners be used for newborns?

Yes, they should be used because they easily meet the hygiene needs of babies under 2 months old. During this time, babies spend most of their time sleeping and breastfeeding, without much movement. The liners provide a comfortable feeling when used due to their simple and compact design. Compared to disposable diapers, liners are more economical for parents.

Tips for choosing newborn liners

Soft, breathable material

A newborn’s skin is thin, only half the thickness of an adult’s. Therefore, a baby’s skin is 5 times more sensitive than an adult’s. When a baby’s skin comes into contact with rough fabrics, it can easily develop red spots and even cause pain.

Therefore, mothers should choose diapers made of cotton fabric. This type of fabric is soft, comfortable, and does not irritate the baby’s skin. It is very suitable for newborns whose skin is still delicate and needs good protection.

Good absorbency, leak-proof

Fast and high absorbency will help keep your baby’s skin dry and cool, preventing diaper rash, a common problem in babies. With a highly absorbent liner, even when the baby urinates a lot, it will not leak. Mothers will save a lot of laundry time, and the baby’s clothes, crib, blankets, and pillows will stay dry.

Size suitable for the baby’s weight

Newborn liners currently come in two common sizes: newborn 1 for babies under 5 kg or under 1 month old and newborn 2 for babies from 4 – 7 kg or over 1 month old. Therefore, to keep your baby’s skin dry and smooth, parents should choose liners that are the right size for their baby based on weight.

Choosing the right size liner for your baby is very important. If you buy a size that is too large, the liner will not fit snugly against the baby’s skin. If you buy a size that is too small, the liner will be tight, not absorb well, and leave marks on the baby’s skin.

How to use newborn liners with prefold diapers

To diaper your baby correctly without leaks, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Dress the baby in a shirt first to prevent them from catching a cold.
• Step 2: Smooth out the prefold diaper on the bed.
• Step 3: Peel off the adhesive strip on the newborn liner and stick it directly onto the center of the prefold diaper, ensuring that the edge of the larger base of the triangle is close to the baby’s armpit, while the liner is on the baby’s bottom.
• Step 4: Gently place the baby on the newborn liner and the prepared prefold diaper.
• Step 5: Bring the right side of the diaper over to the left and vice versa, making sure the diaper fits snugly, and then tuck the excess into the edge.
• Step 6: Wrap the diaper high and close to the baby’s armpits to prevent it from slipping off when the baby kicks.

Notes when using newborn liners for newborns

Many first-time mothers may be quite confused about how to use newborn liners with prefold diapers correctly and hygienically. Incorrect wrapping can cause waste to spill out, which is unhygienic and can lead to diaper rash and itching for the baby. Therefore, mothers should pay attention to the following:

• Liners are only for babies aged 0-12 months. For older babies, use tape diapers or pants-style diapers, which have better and higher urine absorption capacity.
• Clean the baby thoroughly and let them air dry for a while before changing to a new liner.
• Parents should regularly check the baby’s newborn liner after about 2 hours to change it promptly when the baby urinates, helping to prevent diaper rash and allergies.
• To ensure the baby’s comfort during movement, parents should choose liners that are the right size for their baby’s weight.

Frequently asked questions about using newborn liners

1. When should newborn liners be used?

Newborn liners are only for babies in the first 2 months after birth because, during this period, babies are still weak, mostly lie still, and move very little. Therefore, using this product is necessary but should not be used for a long time. Because these liners are not fixed, they can easily shift and leak if the baby moves around.

Remember these times when you should use newborn liners:

• First 2 months: Use newborn liners.
• From 3 months to 1 year: Switch to tape diapers.
• Over 1 year: Use pants-style diapers.

2. How long should newborn liners be used?

Mothers should only use newborn liners for the first few days after the baby is born. From 1 month onwards, mothers should choose other types of diapers to replace them as appropriate for the baby. Typically, from 3 months to 1 year old, mothers can use tape diapers, and over 1 year old, pants-style diapers are recommended.
