FAQ

Do Cuddle Kin newborn diapers have an umbilical cord cutout?

Cuddle Kin's newborn waistline is designed soft enough to fold down below the stump. See sizing.

What size for newborn (cord stump still attached)?

Most babies start in newborn size 6-10 lb; we offer NB through size 7. Subscription auto-adjusts as you grow.

How often to change in week 1?

Every 2-3 hours minimum, plus after each feeding. Newborns may need 10-12 changes/day.

Can I subscribe before baby arrives?

Yes — many moms set up a Cuddle Kin subscription in third trimester to arrive postpartum week 1. See products.

Are these safe with cord-care drying?

Yes — Cuddle Kin's fragrance/dye-free composition is fully compatible with isopropyl alcohol or dry-care methods.
