What to look for in a newborn diaper

Newborn diapers need three things mainstream brands often skip: a hypoallergenic topsheet (no chemical residue against newborn skin), an umbilical-cord cutout (so the diaper doesn't irritate the healing belly button), and a fit that handles 8-12 changes per day for the first 6 weeks without leaking.
