SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

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. In addition, even if the baby gets wet at night, it does not disturb the sleep of his parents and himself. So there are many benefits to diapers. However, this does not mean that such pads are dangerous for children's health.

Are traditional diapers more useful than diapers? 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 it bend the child's leg? According to experts, diapers do not harm the proper growth of the child. In addition, diapers do not interfere with the joints of the legs and thighs.

In diapers, the skin does not "breathe." As you know, quality diapers are breathable. 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? Researchers have already shown that diapers do not harm a boy's health. Of course, if you wear diapers and follow the rules of hygiene.

What about girls? As mentioned above, diapers are not a big risk for boys, but girls need to be careful when it comes to them. This is because neglect can lead to cystitis and other viral illnesses in infants. Therefore, experts say that every time a girl changes her soles, she must wash them. 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 a potty from 12 to 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 diapers depends on something other than his age. For example, it is possible to put a child in a potty during the day, but it is better to use diapers at night so that the bottom is not wet and disturbed. In this case, the child can say goodbye to diapers when he wakes up in the morning completely dry. Another situation is that some children do not feel well in diapers and are very uncomfortable wearing them, in which case it is recommended to get rid of diapers as soon as possible. It is also advisable to separate very active children from diapers early.

Pay attention to the time. The daily norm of using diapers is 2-3 hours. However, if the child fills the bottom in 1 hour, he will have to change it immediately. During sleep, only one hour can be added to the above period. If the child continues to sleep without feeling the moisture in the sole, the sole can be changed without waking him.

When replacing diapers. Make it a rule to change your baby's diaper before and after each time you take him out into the fresh air and after he goes back to sleep. Do not use diapers for more than the specified time. This recommendation applies to mothers who are expecting more diapers to "fill up" to save money. There are many types and sizes of baby wipes in stores today. Remember that any expensive and high-quality wet wipes can not replace clean warm water. For this reason, use such tools as little as possible. Even if you use it, do not bother to study the contents of the napkin. It is better not to use cream wipes for children's hygiene.

Use "air baths". Each time you change diapers, apply cottonseed oil or plain olive oil to the baby's skin and let it sit in the sun for 10-20 minutes. During this time, look closely at the baby's skin to make sure there are no red spots or pinch marks. If the diaper is squeezing the baby's thighs, change it to a larger size.

Remember!

When to give up pampers?
