Diapers are definitely one of the greatest inventions in the world. Using diapers for babies can save mothers from the tedious work of washing and drying diapers and give them more time to take care of their babies and enjoy their lives. However, in the process of using diapers, many mothers will go into misconceptions and bring a lot of trouble to their babies. Myth 1: Diapers are not as good as diapers Older people think that diapers are better than diapers and that baby’s red farts and diaper rash are caused by using diapers! In fact, diaper rash is a rash that occurs when the buttocks, which have been wrapped in diapers or diapers for a long time, are not cleaned in time, which affects the evaporation of water and makes the skin of the buttocks soaked with moisture and poo and urine, which then causes a rash. It is recommended to give small babies, especially those within 6 months, to insist on staying dry and using buttock cream after each diaper change so as to maximize the isolation of urine and stool from the skin and prevent red farts. Many new mothers are prone to the misconception that the thicker the diaper the more absorbent it will be, unaware that thick diapers are a burden to babies and will become wet and heavy after absorbing water, prone to lumping and breakage, inconvenient for babies to move around in, and small tender hips will be strangled with red marks, which can seriously affect leg development. Especially in the hot weather of summer, the thicker the diaper, the less breathable it is, and the chances of diaper rash and allergies are greatly increased, making the baby suffer and the mother distressed. There is no absolute relationship between the absorbency of diapers and their thickness. It is recommended that mothers choose good quality, breathable, absorbent, soft and skin-friendly diapers of trusted brands for their babies. Misconception 3: The surface of the diaper is really dry Many mothers think that the surface of the diaper is dry to the touch, so they think that their baby’s bottom can be equally dry after urinating. But after using them, the baby still has a red bottom. In fact, you should not just look at the surface of the diaper to see if it is dry or not, but the inner core is also dry to be really dry. To determine whether the diaper is comfortable, breathable and dry, mothers can use a cup of hot water to try it out, take out a diaper and pour a small half cup (almost the amount of baby’s urine) of hot water on it. Take a cold glass and snap it on the exterior surface of the diaper to see if the inside of the glass can quickly condense water beads. While trying the breathability, put the inside of your arm on the inside surface of the diaper, put it on for a few minutes, then take it away and feel the dampness, if it is dry it is a good product. Myth 4: You must change a dozen diapers every day Many new mothers change diapers as soon as their babies pee, and change enough for a dozen pieces to feel at ease. Even though they use up more than a dozen diapers a day, their babies still have severe diaper rash. The baby’s skin is very delicate, and when changing diapers, you will use paper towels to wipe it. Wiping the baby’s delicate skin several times a day will easily cause damage to it, making it more susceptible to infection and rashes. In fact, the frequency of diaper changing is arranged according to the actual situation of the baby, and it is not necessary to force how many pieces to be changed every day. Generally, only for newborn babies aged 0-2 months, diapers should be changed more than ten times a day. The baby should be changed immediately after pooping, and at other times it should be guaranteed to be changed once in 3-4 hours. Most of the diapers have a urine display mark, it is recommended to replace them in time when they reach 2/3 of the amount, at night to ensure that the baby sleeps without having to change too diligently, should also be kept at 1-2 times the frequency of replacement. Myth 5: Diapers with good absorbency don’t need to be wiped Many mothers try to save time by changing the dirty diapers and then directly replacing them with new diapers. Changing diapers this way can easily make your baby’s butt vulnerable to redness. Generally speaking, the absorbency of diapers chosen by mothers is good, but even so, if the baby pees, there will still be residue from the diapers alone. If you just wipe with a paper towel, there is a chance that the skin of the butt will be hurt because of friction. It is recommended that after wiping with wet wipes after your baby has peed, you should wait until your little butt is dry and then put on a new diaper. After the baby has pooped, in addition to wiping with wet wipes, you need to rinse the little butt with warm water again, and finally dip a clean, soft towel in dryness and apply hip cream. Many mothers deliberately choose a smaller size of diapers in order to avoid side leakage of diapers, but they don’t expect to see side leakage when wearing the Velcro, but the baby still leaks when sleeping on the side. And because the diaper was too small, the baby’s delicate thighs were strangled with red marks, which was more than worth the loss. In fact, whether the diaper can solve the side leakage does not depend on the size, but on the material and cutting process, and whether the baby really fits. It is recommended that if a mother wants to prevent her baby from leaking, she can give her baby a diaper with a leak-proof design, i.e. a pleated edge on the inner thigh and a leak-proof pleated edge on the waist, which can effectively prevent leakage when the baby urinates too much. Diapers should be changed according to the size of the baby. Generally, you can choose according to the weight on the package, and you can also choose according to the baby’s waist and leg circumference. How to deal with baby’s diaper rash? 1.After the baby has diaper rash, if the skin is only slightly red, you can continue to use diapers; 2.In order to reduce the moisture of the baby’s butt, the mother should let the baby’s butt breathe as much as possible, and wait for the baby’s butt to dry before putting on the diapers; 3.Check the baby’s diapers every 2 to 3 hours, if they have become wet, replace them in time, and observe if the baby has pooped, and if so, replace them in time; 4.Clean the baby’s butt. 4.
