The huge variety of diapers on the shelves of pharmacies and specialty stores makes many young mothers think about the right choice of this convenient, and sometimes extremely necessary item for caring for a baby. Naturally, every woman wants to give her child all the best and safest. The choice of diapers is a rather responsible occupation. There are several criteria and recommendations, based on which, each mom will be able to choose a diaper for her little one that is most suitable for her baby.
Instructions
Step 1
To choose the right diaper, you must first of all know the baby's weight. Each package of disposable diapers indicates the weight of the baby for which this or that diaper is designed. For example, 3-6kg, 4-9kg, 9-18kg, etc. These numbers on a packet of diapers are usually written in fairly large print. What kind of weight indicator is suitable for a baby, for example, 5 kg (3-6 kg or 4-9 kg), can be determined by trying, for a start, the smallest package of diapers with one or another weight value.
Step 2
With regards to the gender of the child, many diapers are quite versatile. But there are also models of disposable diapers that are designed specifically for girls or boys. Such diapers differ from each other only in the distribution of the substance that turns the liquid into a gel. A special absorbent layer in models of diapers for girls is located in the middle of the diaper, and in models for boys it is close to the baby's tummy.
Step 3
When choosing diapers, you should pay attention to their manufacturer. Usually, the more popular the brand, the higher the cost of diapers. Such a pattern is formed from the fact that famous companies spend a large amount of funds on the constant improvement of the diaper manufacturing technology, on improving their quality, and besides that, on advertising their products. The well-known name of the diaper manufacturer is already a guarantee of their quality.
Step 4
When choosing diapers for a baby, you should also pay attention to the Velcro fasteners, which should be securely fastened even if powder, baby cream or moisture gets on them. This criterion for choosing disposable diapers is especially relevant for parents of active babies.
Step 5
You should not choose diapers that contain polyethylene. Information on the presence of this component should be indicated on the packaging of disposable diapers. Baby's skin in a polyethylene diaper will sweat.
Step 6
For very active babies who do not want to lie still when changing diapers, there are panties diapers. They are great for babies from 4 months old. They wear diapers like ordinary panties, and after use, they are easily torn at the sides and thrown away.
