Under The Nile

5.5 months in size small. He weighs about 15 pounds.

Same as above, this shows Imse Vimse Organic Velour size small cover over it. It is important to choose a full coverage cover for UTN:

"I really love these diapers! They are wonderful." July 2, 2007, spoken by a daycare provider after changing 3 month old wearing Under the Nile size newborn with an Imse Vimse Organic cotton cover size small over it.

These are great for daycare because they are so absorbent and easy to use.

     Medium on 14 month old.

Above is a size medium on a 23 pound 14 month old.

14 months, 23 pounds, size small. This baby can wear a small or a medium now. Which style fit do you like? If you prefer a trim fit, a size small will be preferred. If you want more room inside to add a doubler, and growing room to last through to potty learning, then choose size medium. Sizes do overlap.

I really like this full cut fitted diaper. Great stretchy leg gathers and a stretchy gather across the back for comfort and containment. It takes a long time to dry, but is very absorbent and beautiful.

Size newborn, 6 weeks old. I love this picture! Real babies actually do cry. You can see this newborn size is not teeny-weeny tiny, so it doesn't get outgrown in 2 seconds, so you get good use from it before it becomes too small. She still has plenty of growing room in this. It is possible that some babies might be able to go from size newborn right into size medium. Size small is thicker and more absorbent than newborn, and slightly larger. There is size overlap between newborn and small for UTN (Under the Nile).

Below is the same exact diaper as shown above. Size newborn. This time on a 12 day old baby who is 7 pounds 11 ounces
12 days old in size newborn. Beautiful diaper!

Since it is full cut at the hip, you need a full cut cover to fit over it properly. Use with any cover we sell except trim cut covers such as the Bummis covers - but keep reading below. Customers tell me they use Bummis Supers with Under the Nile, but I can't make that work, it's too much tucking into the cover for me, which means if the diaper starts poking out of the cover, it will wick out onto clothes. We think a size small Under the Nile works with a size Medium Bummis Super Whisper Wrap, and a size Medium Under the Nile works with a size XL Bummis Super Whisper Wrap fine, though, and some customers make the medium UTN work with their Large Bummis Supers, but I think that's only a so-so combination. The picture at the left is a size small UTN diaper with a small Bummis Super Print. It just doesn't make it. See the green stitching of the top of the diaper sticking out? That small Bummis wrap is really to small on that baby anyhow. He is ready for a medium Bummis wrap. See how wide the tabs are placed? She got it on him, but it's really getting too small. It's common for moms to just keep using what they have and not move up to the next size as soon as they should. Babies grow faster than we realize they do! Good choice covers that fit well over this are any of the wool, Litewrap, Imse Vimse, Blue Penguin POSO. Wool is really excellent with this for a totally natural, breatheable system.
