Changing diapers for a newborn is as important as feeding. The well-being of a child depends on the correctness of this type of childcare: behavior, sleep duration, and most importantly, the health of delicate skin. Neglecting this process, forgetting or wanting to save money, you will immediately face problems and the need for long-term treatment.
Necessary
- 1. A diaper suitable for your baby's weight (see the weight on the package).
- 2. Wet wipes, odorless, odorless and alcohol-free, dry thin wipes or a soft towel, cotton pads.
- 3. Protective diaper cream (Bepanten, Sudokrem), vaseline oil.
Instructions
Step 1
Wash your baby with warm water and baby soap or wet wipes. Carefully remove the effects of the children's toilet, without missing a single fold, the skin should be completely clean. If, after washing with water, you find remnants of a previously used protective cream in the folds, be sure to remove it using a cotton pad and liquid paraffin; it is odorless and very well suited for baby hygiene. Do not confuse with vaseline cream, you need to use oil.
Step 2
Gently blot the baby's bottom with a soft towel or thin paper towel, not forgetting about the wrinkles in which moisture accumulates. The skin should now be completely dry. Leaving moisture in the folds of the skin, you will soon find that the skin there is irritated, pink in color; these small diaper rash gives the baby considerable discomfort and can be a cause for his anxiety, even with a clean diaper. A protective cream applied to damp skin will not show its protective properties.
Step 3
Lubricate the bottom and folds with a protective cream, following the instructions for use for the cream. Put on a diaper. Change the diaper at least 5-6 times a day, focusing not on filling it, but on whether the child has gone to the toilet. Air baths without a diaper are also useful, the best time for them is after washing, before applying a protective cream.
