BENEFITS AND DAMAGES OF CHILDREN

It is safe to say that the lives of young mothers have become much easier with the advent of diapers. Now there is no need to change and wash the baby's bottom 10 times a day. Plus, even if the baby gets wet at night, it won’t disturb his parents and his sweet sleep. So there are many benefits to pampers. However, this does not mean that such pads are dangerous for children's health.

Are traditional diapers more useful than pampers? 
This is a misconception. Because the fabric sole does not absorb moisture. Such a sole does not keep the baby's skin dry, and if the fabric gets wet, it loses its softness. As a result, the baby's skin may become red and irritated. Modern diapers absorb moisture and keep the baby’s skin dry. If used properly and replaced every 3-4 hours, the child will not be harmed.

Does the child bend the leg?
Qualified experts say that diapers do no harm to the proper growth of the baby. In addition, diapers do not interfere with the leg and hip joints.

In diapers, the skin does not "breathe."
As you know, quality diapers have air permeability. They differ from others in price and appearance. But no matter how good and expensive diapers you use, make it a habit to rest your baby’s skin for at least half an hour every time you change it.

Is it dangerous for boys?
There is a saying among mothers that “wearing too many diapers to a boy will lead to infertility in the future”. In fact? Scientists who have done research on this topic have already proven that diapers do no harm to a boy’s health. Of course, if you wear pampers and follow the rules of hygiene correctly.

What about girls?
As mentioned above, diapers do not pose a major risk to boys, but they do require more care when it comes to girls. After all, it is not uncommon for a baby to develop cystitis and other viral diseases due to neglect. Therefore, experts say that every time a girl changes her diaper, she should definitely wash it. So, set aside a damp napkin, warm the water, and get in the habit of washing your candy.

How old are diapers worn?
It is known that the child reaches the level of sitting in the tub from 12-20 months. It is at this point that he begins to feel responsible for his actions. But that doesn’t mean a child should say goodbye to pampers completely from the age of 1. How old a child wears pampers depends on something other than age. For example, a child can be put in a potty during the day, but it is advisable to use diapers at night so that the bottom is not disturbed by wet. In this case, the child can say goodbye to pampers when he wakes up in the morning when the bottom is completely dry. Another situation: some children do not feel well in diapers and are very annoyed 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 diapers is 2-3 hours. However, if the child fills the bottom in 1 hour, then it is necessary to immediately replace it with another. During sleep, only one hour can be added to the above-mentioned period. If the child continues to sleep without feeling the moisture in the sole, it is possible to change the sole without waking him.

In what cases is it better not to use trays?

The sole covers about one-third of the child's body, so if a child has a high temperature, it can interfere with the normal flow of heat. Wearing a soleplate can damage the skin when bowel function is impaired, especially when diarrhea occurs. Pediatricians also recommend not using the mat for the first four to six weeks when the baby is born prematurely.

‍Can diapers cause allergies?

Yes, if the baby’s skin becomes red, rashes or spots appear when using the sole, it could be an individual intolerance or contact dermatitis. In that case, first change the brand of the sole and try to use a special cream, if the symptoms do not go away, be sure to consult a pediatrician. Perhaps such parents will have to use the early teaching method of the pot.

How to apply without a base?

Teaching a baby to cuddle early (from the first weeks after the baby is born) can allow him to suckle even without a diaper.
You can also use plain diapers or reusable fabric soles. After all, remember that a disposable diaper is only a “temporary” friend of the child and the mother. Get advice from parents who have raised their children without modern diapers.
