Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for asking on this platform

You can use the diaper if the baby is comfortable and there are no rashes. Check the diaper frequently with your clean finger.Be sure that you change the diaper after the baby passes stool or when it is wet.There are so many brands available in the market and the choice is totally personal.
You need not to worry if your baby is comfortable with the current diaper and you can continue the same.
I personally suggest Pampers as I didn't get any complaint from moms using this.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any more doubts.
Regards
