Diapers: good or bad?

When disposable diapers appeared, moms immediately felt better. But at the same time questions arose:

1) is it not harmful to wear a diaper for a long time;

2) Do not priet skin;

3) does the diaper affect the development of the male genitalia;

4) how is reflected their wearing on the formation of the hygienic skills of the baby. Suddenly he does not want to sit down on the pot?

Many studies have been carried out on the effect of diapers on the baby's body, including on the development of male genital organs. The difference between the temperature of the open skin in the genital area and in the diaper is only 0.5 ° C.This is very small, so there is no greenhouse effect.

Modern diapers have a special moisture absorbing layer inside that maintain an optimal level of skin moisture, which is the prevention of diaper dermatitis and diaper rash.

For a child, the accustoming to a pot requires enormous nervous and physical strength. Important is the growth of

, in which they begin to teach toilet skills. The younger the child, the worse he learns.

Modern diapers are equipped with special sticky fasteners, which allow tightly fixing the diaper. They fit tight and well around the child's body, without interfering with his movement.

They must be changed as they become contaminated with urine or feces. A newborn needs up to 10-12 diapers a day.

The reference point for choosing a diaper is the body weight indicated on the bundle.

1. Mini: for children weighing 3 to 6 kg;

2. Midi: for children weighing 4 to 9 kg;

3. Makey: for children weighing from 9 to 18 kg;

4. Junior: for children weighing from 12 to 25 kg.

Not always the baby's body weight and the size of the diaper match.

You can choose by age:

1) midi can be bought from 2-3 months;

2) maxi - from 7-8 months;

3) junior - after 12 months.

To change a diaper, you need to prepare a new clean "diaper", a little water and cotton wool or cleaning wipes, which we mentioned earlier, as well as a baby cream or powder for a diaper. Put the baby on a changing table or on a surface that is comfortable for you. Unfasten the used diaper and unfold it. Then gently raise the child by the feet of the

with one hand, and gently pull the diaper out from underneath it. Now you need to cleanse the skin of dirt. This can be done with a wet tampon or baby wipes. Remember that it is necessary to wash the baby, especially the little girl, in the front-to-back direction, so as not to infect the genitals or the bladder.

After cleaning, apply a powder or cream( only on the dried skin and a thin layer).Sprinkle first on your palm, lightly rub and palm over the baby's skin. Pay special attention to folds, in places where intertrigo arise first. Put a new diaper under the baby's ass, holding his legs with his hand. Then lower them. Close the velcro fasteners by gluing them on a special strip.

Reusable Velcro fasteners are very convenient. They can be peeled off and glued several times, adjusting the fit of the diaper.
