The advent of diapers has made life much easier for young parents. By staying dry, your baby can sleep soundly through the night. During a walk, you do not have to worry about changing your child's clothes. So that the use of diapers does not harm the baby, you need to change them regularly.
Necessary
- - Smooth surface;
- - baby wipes;
- - baby soap;
- - towel;
- - diaper cream;
- - a clean diaper.
Instructions
Step 1
There are two types of diapers: disposable and reusable. The former include paper diapers with a special absorbent gel, which can be found on store shelves. Throw them away after use. Reusable diapers look like tight cotton panties with a fabric insert inside. The liner is removed and washed as necessary. After drying, it can be reused.
Step 2
Some models of disposable diapers have a special indicator strip. When soaked in the baby's urine, it changes its color, signaling the mother to change the diaper. If there is no such strip, checking every two hours will help to avoid leakage. Feel the baby's skin under the diaper. If it is wet, the baby needs to be changed. If the skin is dry, but the diaper itself has become heavy and bulky, it should also be changed. These recommendations do not apply to a child's stool. In this case, it is necessary to change the diaper after each bowel movement.
Step 3
It is best to change your baby's clothes after feeding, because while eating, he can go to the toilet again. Changing the diaper at night requires special care: it is important not to wake up the baby at this time. It is also wise to put on a clean diaper before long walks, going to the clinic, etc.
Step 4
Before changing a diaper, prepare everything you need so as not to run around the room from corner to corner. You will need a flat surface that you don't mind getting dirty or washable. Place the baby on it and rid him of the dirty diaper. Wash your baby with warm water and soap under the tap or wipe with baby wipes. Wait a few minutes, let your skin breathe. Lubricate the folds between the legs and at the buttocks with a special cream or lotion to protect against diaper rash and irritation. Put on a clean diaper, spreading the material around your thighs.
Step 5
Usually one diaper lasts for 4-5 hours. As the child grows up, this time will increase. There are situations when a couple of hours have passed after the change, and the diaper has leaked. This can be due to the poor quality of the model and materials or the small size of the diaper. To avoid leakage on the sides, carefully flatten the elastic as you put it on.
Step 6
Some parents worry about the health of their sons when using diapers. However, with their timely replacement, there is practically no harm to health, because the greenhouse effect is not created.
