Caring for a small child is not easy and very responsible. The advent of diapers has made life much easier for both babies and parents. But for new moms, using diapers can be a mystery.
Necessary
- - disposable diapers;
- - wet wipes;
- - means for the care of baby skin.
Instructions
Step 1
Check out the rules to follow when using disposable diapers. This will help prevent diaper rash and rashes on the baby's sensitive skin. How often a baby's diapers need to be changed is not known exactly to all young mothers, and it is not surprising that they ask a lot of questions about this.
Step 2
Change your baby's diapers immediately after walking and before going to bed. If the baby for some reason does not have a bowel movement for a long time, change the diaper about every four hours. Some of the manufacturing companies argue that it is necessary to change diapers both before and after meals, but not every family budget can withstand such a burden. Many babies have a habit of emptying their bowels as soon as they eat, but this does not apply in all cases. Therefore, it is up to the parents to decide whether there is a need to change the diaper after a meal.
Step 3
Immediately after birth and during the first month of life, the child urinates about twenty times a day. Because of this, diapers will have to be changed quite often. For a while, you need to try to withstand the baby without a diaper - for example, after removing the soiled one, do not rush to put on a new one. An air bath for fifteen minutes will be very beneficial for the child.
Step 4
Rinse the baby with running water after removing the soiled diaper, clean the skin with sanitary napkins. Apply baby cream or other product to your skin. In the summer, when the thermometer rises above twenty degrees, change the diaper more often. Switch to reusable gauze diapers if it's hot outside.
Step 5
Don't put too many clothes on your child unnecessarily. Diaper rash on baby's skin often occurs not because of the fact that he is wearing a diaper, but precisely because of an overabundance of warm things.
