The Best Diapers for Newborns: Gentle Choices for Delicate Skin

By Compassionate Care Doula Services

As a postpartum doula, one of the most common questions I get from new parents is:

“Which diapers are best for my newborn?”

The answer? It depends on your baby’s skin, your lifestyle, and what matters most to you—whether it’s absorbency, eco-friendliness, or softness.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the top diaper choices for newborns—plus an exclusive discount on one of my personal favorites.

1. Coterie Diapers – Premium Comfort & Support

Why I love them:

These are the softest diapers I’ve ever felt. Ultra-absorbent, fragrance-free, and designed to keep baby’s skin dry longer—these help reduce diaper rash and irritation.

Perfect for: Sensitive skin, overnight use, or parents who want top-tier quality.

Bonus: They also offer premium wipes and door-to-door delivery.

2. Pampers Swaddlers – Hospital Favorite

Soft, flexible, and trusted by hospitals, Pampers Swaddlers offer strong leak protection and a built-in wetness indicator—great for new parents.

3. Honest Company Diapers – Clean & Cute

Plant-based and free of chlorine, parabens, and latex—plus the cutest prints.

4. Huggies Little Snugglers – Snug Fit for Newborns

These have a pocketed back to catch messes and a special umbilical cord cutout—designed just for early newborn days.

💡 Doula Tip: Try a Few

Each baby is unique. Some diapers fit better or cause fewer rashes. I always recommend trying a couple brands to see what works best.
