24 Diaper Facts, How Many Do You Know? (2)
7. What can I do to make my baby feel comfortable or obedient when changing diapers?
The mother’s gentle touch will make the baby feel very comfortable, so you can touch the baby’s body and talk to the baby more when changing diapers. In this way, in the baby’s mind, changing diapers will gradually become a happy thing. After many times, the baby will begin to look forward to such a comfortable feeling, and the brain will also form a benign stimulation.
In addition, eye contact is also very important. When changing diapers, mothers can look into the baby’s eyes, look at them with a smile, and say compliments. Doing so can not only improve the baby’s communication skills, but also help the baby’s understanding ability.
8. Is it better for diapers to be larger or just the right size?
Generally speaking, it is better to choose a more suitable diaper for your baby. Although there are restrictions on the size of diapers, each size has a certain weight range, and you should find a diaper that is suitable for your baby’s weight. A size that is too large is prone to leakage, and a size that is too small will cause back seepage because the retained urine is more than the diaper can bear, and a diaper that is too tight will damage the baby’s delicate skin.
9.What should you pay attention to when putting diapers on your child in summer?
The most important thing to pay attention to is whether the baby’s buttocks will have diaper rash. Check the baby’s buttocks, thigh roots, and vulva folds frequently.
Choose diapers with good breathability. The breathability of diapers is the same all year round. It’s just that the temperature is relatively high in summer, the baby’s metabolism is fast, and urination is frequent, so the diapers seem a bit “stuffy”, so just change them in a shorter time.
After each bowel movement, the baby should use special wet wipes to wipe the buttocks clean, then apply diaper cream, and put on new diapers.
10. How often should I change my baby’s diaper when he/she sleeps at night?
Mothers can decide based on the frequency of the baby’s urination and the quality of the diapers, and try to choose diapers with strong absorption and a three-layer water-locking system. When the baby wakes up at night, you can touch the baby’s diaper to see if it is too wet and makes the baby uncomfortable. If so, you can change it. If the diaper used is of good quality and the baby sleeps well, do not change the baby’s diaper to interrupt the baby’s continuous sleep.
11. How to prevent urine from leaking from the back?
First, choose the right model, and second, pay attention to the skills of wearing diapers. First, spread the diaper and put it under the baby’s buttocks. The back should be slightly higher than the abdomen to prevent urine from leaking from the back; pull the diaper between the baby’s legs up to below the navel, and align the buckles on both sides with the waist patch and stick them well. Don’t stick them too tight, just make sure they fit.
12. If my baby only wears a diaper for a short while and doesn’t urinate, can I still use it the next day?
It is best not to use it for your baby. The diapers used by your baby will have bacteria on their skin, and the protective layer on the surface of the diaper will be partially destroyed after use, making it easy for bacteria to grow on it. So even if your baby has not urinated in it, do not use it again.
13. Will frequently changing diaper brands have an impact on the skin?
No matter which brand of diapers you change for your baby, as long as he is not allergic, you can change him to a clean one in time. Of course, the absorption capacity, breathability, comfort and fit of high-end diapers are obvious.
14.How many diapers should I use every day?
If the baby only uses diapers, he will need about 8 diapers a day when he is 1-3 months old. When he is 3-6 months old, he will not poop that much, so 6-7 diapers are enough. After the baby is 6 months old, basically 5-6 diapers a day are enough. This is for babies with normal gastrointestinal defecation. Babies with diarrhea or lactose intolerance will need more.
15.What is the urine wetness indicator?
This is to add a chemical substance to the diaper that changes color when it comes into contact with urine, but it is non-irritating and harmless to the baby’s skin.
Some diapers will show different colors of urine indicators according to the amount of absorption. When the entire diaper urine indicator line changes color, it means that enough urine has been absorbed and the diaper needs to be changed.
