How do I know when to change diaper SIZES?

My daughter is 10 weeks old and is still in NB diapers. She is small and is still in NB clothes. However, she weighs 10lbs. and I'm not quite sure when to go up to size 1 diapers. I put her in size 1 diapers and they were really big but that was 2 weeks ago



Do I just change sizes when she can't fit into them? Or when they are leaving red marks on her legs? Or whens she is peeing through them? How will I know?How do I know when to change diaper SIZES?
My 11 month old never matched up to the weight recommendations on the packages, so I would change her diaper size when the top of the diaper fell below her belly button.How do I know when to change diaper SIZES?
I never found the poundage very accurate. I went by 2 things - how the diaper fit and how it held pee. If it was getting a little short then it was time to move up. Most often I noticed that it was leaking a lot more either up the back or out the leg. After a few frustrating days of that I usually reallized Duh! Need a new size! lol She is probably ready for size 1. My youngest was very small also but by a couple months old the 1s held so much better.How do I know when to change diaper SIZES?
Newborn sized diapers fit up to 10 pounds. Size one fits up to 14 pounds. I guess it really depends on the babys size and stature. My son was 8 lb. 13 oz. when he was born and he is 2w 3d and is already almost up to 12 pounds. He still fits in the newborn Huggies Snugglers, but I am going to transition him into size 1 when those are gone. I pretty much go by what the packages say. I wait until they really aren't fitting them.How do I know when to change diaper SIZES?
Hmmm...my daughter is almost 4 weeks and only about 9 lbs and she wears size 1 diapers. They are a tiny bit big on her but she can't fit in the newborn size anymore. You will know the diapers are too small when you can't pull the tabs as far into the middle of the diaper to fasten them. Also they will probably start leaving red marks around her belly.How do I know when to change diaper SIZES?
When you notice them getting too snug on her then I would change the size! Red marks and when they dont go around all the way then I would definately change! Sometimes too big is better than too small! Good Luck with your new baby girl!!How do I know when to change diaper SIZES?
It will say the weight on the diaper package. I usually move up to the next diaper when my son is a few lbs away from the maximum size, that way they are not too small and it helps protect against leaks better.How do I know when to change diaper SIZES?
I changed mine whenever they started looking a little 'low rise' on him. he never matches up with the weight minimums and maximums. she could probably go to size 1 now!How do I know when to change diaper SIZES?
i changed mine whenever pee started leaking thru. aaaawww your LO must be tiny how cute :-) my son was in newborn diapers for about 4 days! lol
