Newborn nappies: 5 key features to look out for

There’s no learning curve quite like the one new parents face. From feeding to sleeping (and everything in between!), there’s a LOT to learn about your baby.

And with around 12 nappy changes a day in those early weeks, top of your to-do list is choosing the best nappies for newborns. 

If you’re unsure where to start, we’ve rounded up the must-have features to look for when buying nappies.

1. Super soft material

Your newborn’s skin is incredibly delicate, so you want everything they wear to be as comfortable as possible.

Aldi Mamia Newborn Premium Dry Fast Nappies have inner and outer layers that are soft and breathable. Super stretchy sides mean an even comfier fit while the leg cuffs have been tweaked to be softer than ever.

Aldi Mamia Newborn Premium Dry Fast Nappies fit newborn babies from 2-9kg

2. Absorbent core

A wet baby is an unhappy baby. So another nappy must-have is an absorbent core to keep your newborn dry.

That’s where the clever Dry Fast technology in Mamia Premium Newborn Nappies comes in. It has fast absorption and helps keep your little one fresh … and happy!

3. Choice of sizes

Your newborn is teeny tiny, so they need a nappy small enough to fit. Mamia Newborn Premium Dry Fast Nappies start from 2-5kg (4-11lbs) and go up to 4-9kg (9-20lbs).

When your baby has outgrown their newborn nappies, there are plenty more to choose from at Aldi.

4. Perfume-free

To care for your newborn's sensitive skin, you’re already avoiding fragranced baby washes and creams. But did you know you can also do the same with nappies? 

Mamia Newborn Premium Dry Fast Nappies are perfume and lotion-free, meaning they’re even kinder to your baby’s skin. They’re also accredited by the Skin Health Alliance.

5. Great price

You want the best for your baby … and the good news is you can have it for less at Aldi. A 24-pack of Newborn Premium Dry Fast Nappies costs just 79p. That’s a huge saving compared to some bigger brands.

Which is just as well given in the time it’s taken to read this, your newborn probably needs another change!
