Measurements for selecting Wunzi size:
- Length = Torso Length (in centimeters).
- Measure down from C-7 (the bib bone at the bottom of the neck) over the diaper and up to the child;s navel.
- Be careful to wrap the tape gently under the diaper
- Waist Size = Belly Girth (in centimeters)
- Measure the child;s belly circumference at the navel.
- Babies build trunk and neck control and strength before they gain functional skills. Trunk control problems that occur in infancy typically lead to long-term developmental deficits in limb use and movement. Postural control acquisition is a necessary component of early intervention.
