I believe that all families who wear diapers for their babies have been troubled by diaper leakage. Leakage is really troublesome. Not only does it wet the bedding and clothes, but the baby is also prone to catching a cold when wearing wet clothes or changing clothes. Is the baby’s leakage a problem with the diaper?
In fact, the technology of diapers is relatively mature at present. Under normal use, leakage will not occur. So if leakage occurs, mothers should not convict diapers first. So what exactly causes leakage?
1. Incorrect wearing method
Wearing diapers may seem simple, but if they are not worn properly, it will easily cause urine leakage. There are a few points that mothers need to pay special attention to when wearing diapers:
If you leak urine from the back, you should wear it like this:
To prevent leakage from the back, you need to raise the diaper on the baby’s back a little bit, and then pull the diaper between the legs up to below the navel, so that it will not cover the navel, and prevent leakage if the diaper is not worn correctly, and will not contaminate the baby’s navel. Fold the edge of the diaper on the abdomen slightly inward or outward to prevent it from rubbing the baby’s navel. Then stick the Velcro on both sides firmly. This can more effectively prevent urine from leaking from the back of the buttocks, which is actually the same as using a sanitary napkin. The looseness and tightness of the waist should also be based on the standard of being able to put a finger in.
If you leak urine from the side, you should wear it like this:
Don’t think that you are done after sticking the Velcro, you still have to add a move to prevent side leakage-arrange the leak-proof side edges of the folds on both sides of the diaper, and let the leak-proof side edges stand up, so as to effectively prevent side leakage. The leak-proof side edge is also called the side leakage protection guard, which is the fold that stands up on the inner thigh, which can effectively prevent excrement from leaking out along the gap between the thigh and the diaper. The next step is to wear the diaper properly, and the two sides must be aligned. Make sure that the Velcro on both sides are selected with the same scale, so as to avoid the diaper from being worn crooked and reduce the possibility of side leakage. Finally, adjust the tightness of the baby’s thigh root. The gap is about one finger.
If urine leaks everywhere, you have to see if you have chosen the right size? Is it used for too long?
If you put on diapers for your baby in the right way, but still leak urine. Don’t panic, let me think about it seriously! Oh, it’s because you chose the wrong size. After sorting it out like this, will mothers feel that wearing diapers is too troublesome and will take a lot of time? In fact, according to the above method, as long as you master the essentials, you can put on diapers for your baby in a few minutes!
2. Inappropriate size
The choice of diapers is very “realistic”, not based on age, but on weight. Mothers should choose according to the weight of their babies. Too large a size is prone to leakage, too small a size will cause back seepage because the retained urine is more than the diaper can bear, and too tight a diaper will damage the baby’s delicate skin.
3. Diaper saturation
The baby’s urine volume is relatively large, or the diaper is worn for a long time, resulting in saturation of the diaper. At this time, the urine absorption will be relatively poor, and leakage is likely to occur. In this case, it is recommended to change the diaper in time and shorten the wearing time. Don’t let the baby’s little butt stay in the dirty diaper for too long, otherwise the little butt will be “red” for you to see!
4. The baby’s large amount of exercise leads to asymmetric diapers
Some babies, especially older babies, have a lot of exercise. The diapers may be worn well at first, but they will be biased after a while. At this time, it is easy to leak urine. In this case, parents should pay attention to the baby’s diapers frequently. If they find that they are biased, they can be corrected in time to effectively avoid it.
5. The baby sleeps prone at night, resulting in poor diversion, excessive urine in the front, and easy leakage
Sleeping prone is also not conducive to the baby’s development and oppresses the heart. It is recommended to adjust the baby’s sleeping position after the baby falls asleep.
If the baby occasionally leaks urine, it is mostly caused by the first, third, and fourth reasons mentioned above. Mothers just need to pay more attention. If it often leaks urine, we must start from the above aspects and analyze the reasons carefully to avoid frequent leakage.
Another is that the babies have reached the “awkward period” of changing sizes! Every 12 catties, 17 catties, 22 catties, and 25 catties of babies are in the “awkward period” of changing sizes. At this time, they will often encounter the embarrassment of “small size tightens the thighs, and large size leaks urine”.
