When to switch

Best times: (1) when starting a new diaper size anyway (no waste of existing pack), (2) after a rash episode that doesn't resolve with cream, (3) at the start of a holiday/long-weekend when you're home to monitor skin response.

Step-by-step transition

  1. Order a starter pack (one size) — don't commit to subscription yet
  2. Switch cold-turkey at the next diaper change (no need to alternate)
  3. Monitor skin for 5-7 days — most parents see improvement, very rarely a reaction
  4. If improvement: commit to sub-and-save (15% off)
  5. If reaction: email support — refund + recommendation for next-step

Size selection during switch

Stay in the same size you're currently using. CuddleKin sizing aligns with mainstream brands. Bamboo doesn't require sizing up.
