Diaper and Shoe Sizing
Please choose a size for your baby based on their weight, waist and rise measurents. A young baby that is heavy for his age will often still need a smaller diaper than an older baby the same weight.
Although most fabric is pre-shrunk before sewing, diapers and shoes may shrink up to 5% after the first washing. Prefolds may shrink 10% or more. Diapers and shoes that seem a little big when tried on unwashed will usually fit perfectly after washing.
Diapers and covers are designed to be trim-fitting, which means the front panel should fit below the belly button. A round baby belly will actually hang out over the diaper--that way there won't be gaps ot tight elastic around the belly and back.
Rise can be measured from the belly button, through the legs, to the same place as the belly button on the back. Waist can be measured 2 finger widths below the belly button.
