you can use diaper /pamper of any good quality brand(Pampers, Huggies, Mamypoko, Cuddles), but not for the whole day.
give diaper free time frequently in a day,
if possible use cotton diaper,
it will help to decrease diaper rash if any.
Always check every 2 to 3 hourly for urine and motion and
change immediately once baby pass urine or motion(can keep it for maximum 8 hrs if not soaked).

Hi
There is no specific safe time limit for single diaper usage. Irrespective of diaper brand it should be changed whenever it get excessively soiled and leakage is noticed. Use diaper occasionally like during social events, travelling, places with no water/ toilet facilities, certain conditions where frequent changing of cloth inner wear is not feasible.
If possible avoid diaper. Based on certain reasons if you need diaper for newborn then check diaper before every feed and change them if excessively soiled and leakage is noticed. Wash hands and feed baby.
.
Next Steps
At home avoid diapers and always monitor urine color, frequency, stool color.
Health Tips
Best is avoid diaper at home.
Always apply diaper cream which contain zinc oxide before wearing diaper, change diaper excessively soiled and show leakage, look for early signs of diaper dermatitis like redness of skin at diaper area and manage early,
