It is known that the child reaches the level of sitting on the potty from the age of 12-20 months. It is at this moment that he begins to feel responsible for his actions. But this does not mean that the child should completely say goodbye to diapers from the age of 1.
How long a child wears diapers depends on something else, not age. For example:
It is possible to sit the child on the potty during the day, but it is appropriate to use diapers so that the bottom is not disturbed at night. In this case, when the child wakes up in the morning with completely dry bottom, then it is possible to say goodbye to diapers.
Some children do not feel well in diapers and are very uncomfortable when wearing them, in such cases it is recommended to get rid of diapers as early as possible. It is also advisable to separate very active children from diapers early.
Pay attention to time.
The daily norm of using Pampers is 2-3 hours. By the way, if the child fills the diaper in 1 hour, then it is necessary to immediately change to another one. During sleep, only one hour can be added to the time limit set above. So, if the child continues to sleep without noticing that the diaper is wet, you can change the diaper without waking him up.
When changing diapers.
Make it a rule to change the baby's diaper every time before taking him out into the fresh air and after he returns to sleep, before and after he naps. Do not use Pampers more than the prescribed time.
This recommendation applies more to mothers who expect to "fill up" diapers in order to save money. Now in stores there are many types and number of wet wipes specially made for children.
Remember, any expensive and high-quality wet wipes are still no substitute for clean warm water. Therefore, use such tools as little as possible. Even if it is used, do not be tempted to study the contents of the napkin. It is better not to use baby wipes that contain cream.
Use "air baths".
Every time you change diapers, apply cottonseed oil or regular olive oil to your baby's skin and leave it in the sun for 10-20 minutes. During this time, carefully paint the baby's skin and make sure that there are no red spots or marks from diapers. That's it, if the diapers are squeezing the child's hips, change it to one size larger.
