The subtleties of the choice and use of diapers for girls

A newborn baby requires attention around the clock. To do this, the young mother must find time to rest. With the advent of disposable diapers, the sleep of babies has become longer and stronger. Useful invention eliminated the need for moms to wash and iron cloth diapers. Babies are no longer bothered by wet ass and diaper rash. Benefit from diapers appreciated throughout the civilized world, but nevertheless, the debate on this matter is still ongoing.

Some young parents have a question: Does a disposable diaper harm a baby? Anxiety moms and dads associated with the myths that have arisen against the background of long disputes on this exciting topic. To understand whether diapers are important for newborns or not, you need to compare their benefits and harms.

First, it is worth listing the obvious advantages of a baby diaper:

• absorbent inner layer provides quiet and long-lasting sleep to the baby;
• allows you to increase the time of walking, especially it is convenient in the cold season;
• fits well with the body, but does not hinder movement;
• made of soft natural material, does not irritate the delicate skin of babies;
• available commercially everywhere;
• protects the body from contact with urine;
• keeps the buttocks dry, the nerves of the parents are strong, the things are clean;
• there are models for children of both sexes and universal;
• convenient and fast changing;
• It is easy to wear even on a sleeping baby.

From this list it follows that the benefits of such diapers are great, but you only need to use them correctly. Wearing a diaper should not push the baby on the tummy. Velcro on each side do not over-tighten, and you need to choose the size by the weight of the infant.

But too loose fit diaper will not bring benefit and convenience to the crumbs. Such a thing will move down from the ass during sleep and the flow is inevitable.

But if these benefits sound unconvincing, it is worth noting that many dermatological tests have long confirmed that disposable diapers are not at all harmful.

Scientists are in a hurry to reassure parents - products that replace cloth diapers from modern manufacturers will go to children only for good. But only under the condition of their timely replacement and in accordance with the dimensional grid declared on the package. Otherwise, the manufacturer does not guarantee the healthy sleep of the baby and the safety of its sensitive skin.

It is also necessary to remember that infants have imperfect thermoregulation and the body heats up faster.

Using “diapers” for up to two years is the maximum allowable period. Otherwise, enuresis may develop and the baby will stop controlling urination.

Consider what you often hear about diapers.

• In it, the skin does not breathe and overheats. It is not true. Modern products for children have a high breathability.In order to avoid diaper rash, parents need only carry out a diaper change in a timely manner. Excellent prevention of skin rashes - regular air baths.

• Because of the wearing of a diaper, the legs of a baby can be twisted. Completely unfounded information, invented by the supporters of swaddling.
• Cloth diapers are more useful than absorbent. Absurd rationale. Wet tissue will cause anxiety of the child, will not allow him to sleep well and guarantees irritation on the delicate skin. Absorbent layer of disposable "diaper" will keep all the liquid inside, keeping the inner layer dry. It is necessary to change it at least once every three hours. If it fills faster, then more often.
• The greenhouse effect is formed in the diaper. Invalid statement, refuted by the results of many dermatological tests. It has been scientifically confirmed that the temperature of the child’s body (and the genitals in particular) does not change during the many hours of use of a disposable diaper.
• The habit of wearing a diaper will make it difficult to teach a child to the pot. This common myth does not have the right to exist, since the wearing of a “diaper” is recommended exclusively for children under two years of age.
• Diapers can provoke cystitis and other diseases of the urogenital system. The opinion of pediatricians on this score is different. These violations occur only with poor infant hygiene. And this is the fault of parents, and not manufacturers of disposable diapers with an absorbent layer.
• Wearing diapers by boys contributes to the development of infertility. The main horror story on the Internet for young mothers and fathers. To debunk this myth, you need to know the anatomy of the human body. Sperm cells begin to form after seven years. Until this age, harm them is unrealistic.

Diapers need not only to be able to operate correctly, but also to choose according to certain criteria. There are serious requirements for baby products. With their consideration and selects a suitable model for the growth of the baby.

• Choose "pampers" based on the number of the child's weight and his individual build. For example, if the weight of the crumbs is a little more than 8 kg, but it is sufficiently well-fed, it is advisable to purchase diapers designed for a weight of not more than 9 kg. Then neither the belt nor the velcro tape will pull his tummy.

• You should buy only products of proven brands.
• Carefully inspect the packaging before buying for the integrity and availability of all mandatory instructions and addresses of production.
• Do not purchase large quantities of diapers. Children grow quickly, and their sizes will change as we gain weight and height.
• Pay attention to the lack of perfumes in disposable diapers. So you can avoid allergic reactions in the infant.
• You can not give to play with a diaper baby. If the adsorbent gets the baby into the respiratory tract, great trouble can happen.

• For sensitive skin, only hypoallergenic products are better suited.
• The composition of diapers for a newborn should be exclusively natural ingredients. It is better to prefer cotton.
• The softer the product, the more comfortable the baby will be in it.
• The diaper must not only absorb liquid well, but also pass air. Preferred articles of material with microscopic pores.
• Fasteners should securely fix it on the body of the child.
• You can purchase a special model for girls or for boys. They differ in the distribution of the absorbent layer according to the physiological characteristics of both sexes. Newborns mostly lie, and in girls most of the fluid remains in the crotch and back. In boys, it is distributed in front of the "diaper".With this in mind, manufacturers distribute the absorbent layer in the product. Also, diapers diapers for boys can have in front of an additional volume with the expectation of the genitals.

Manufacturers more and more often decorate the outer part of hygienic products with drawings, thus demarcating the series produced or dividing products by sex. Packages for girls are produced in shades of pink, and diapers are decorated with butterflies, ponies, fairies, princesses, hearts or flowers.

For male babies, there are packs of blue and blue tones, with drawings of cars, airplanes, rockets and stars.

Models with no distinction between boys and girls are usually sold in yellow, orange, green or white packages. But this is not a standard, but simply a marketing decision of one or another manufacturer. Figures on diapers can be very diverse. These are usually cute animals or clouds. Universal models are still in demand and feedback on them is extremely positive.

To learn this science is difficult only at first glance. A pair of self-replacements - and you are the master of changing diapers. To replace the "diaper" need to cook:

• diaper;
• wet wipes;
• powder or cream.

You need to change the diaper on the changing table or on any flat, clean and not hard surface.

Open the disposable diaper. Lift the lower part of the body crumbs for legs, spread the product under his ass with an inner layer to the skin. Even the diaper so that it lies under the child evenly. Gently lower the baby on it. Having passed the front part of the product between the legs, straighten the rubber bands located in the cutouts for the legs. If this is not done, the product often flows sideways. It remains to symmetrically fasten Velcro and it's done.

If there is a redness or rash on the baby's skin, you need to replace the diaper more often and use special drying creams or powders during the air baths. They are applied only on a clean and dry body.

Each newborn develops an individual mode of emptying the bladder and intestines. Therefore, there are no standard diaper replacement schedules. If the baby went to the toilet for "big", "diapers" should be replaced immediately. This is the only standard in the rules for the replacement of disposable diapers.

Wearing them constantly is also not recommended by pediatricians.

How often to change the diaper, will show over time his condition and condition of the skin after contact with the coating.

Moisture and heavy weight of the diaper - a signal for another replacement, so that the crumb felt comfortable and not worried. At elevated temperatures or illness, diapers change more often, periodically arranging air baths in order to avoid additional overheating. Compliance with these simple rules of application and a serious approach to the choice of "diapers" will make them absolutely safe for girls and boys.
