Baby "shit" science is here!
Diapers are definitely one of the greatest inventions in the world. Using diapers for babies can save mothers the tedious work of washing and drying diapers, and have more time to take care of the baby and enjoy life.
However, while diapers bring convenience to mothers, some misuses of diapers have brought trouble to babies. Do you know these?
Diapers are not as good as diapers?
Old people think that diapers are better than diapers. Baby red ass and diaper rash are all caused by diapers! In fact, diaper rash is the buttocks that have been wrapped in diapers or diapers for a long time. If they are not cleaned in time, the skin of the butt is soaked with moisture and urine, which then causes a rash.
It is recommended for babies, especially those under 6 months old, to change diapers frequently, and to use diaper cream after each diaper change to keep their butts dry, so as to maximize the isolation of the skin from urine and feces and prevent it. Red ass.
Is thick diapers good for water absorption?
The thicker the diaper, the more water it absorbs? Today's diaper products all use "ultra-thin" as their selling point. However, some parents believe that there is a certain relationship between the thickness of diapers and their water absorption. This view is wrong!
The water absorption performance of diapers mainly depends on the polymer, and the water absorption rate of the polymer can reach hundreds to thousands of times of its own, and the absorbed water will not permeate out. The earliest diapers were mainly made of fluff pulp to absorb water, so they were very thick. After adding polymer, the diapers become thinner and more comfortable.
So the absorbency of diapers does not depend on the thickness. Rouya diapers are made of high-absorbent Japan's Sanya and Sumitomo polymers. They are instant-absorbent and dry, extremely thin and comfortable, thin and absorbable, giving babies a more comfortable diaper experience.
Is the surface of the diaper suitable for the baby if it feels comfortable by hand?
Touch is the earliest sensory organ for human development. The fetus already exists as early as three months, and it affects the baby's potential development just like vision and hearing. The baby's skin is very sensitive and more sensitive to bad stimuli. As long as there is a little discomfort, the baby will feel very uncomfortable.
The contact area of the diaper with the baby's skin is very large, and it stays for almost 24 hours. Many mothers think that it feels good to touch them with their hands.
But experts point out that the hand feel of an adult is much different from the feel of a baby's skin. So choose underwear-like ultra-thin, soft, and good-touch diapers to provide your baby with a comfortable tactile experience. If you don’t know how to try, you might as well rub the diapers with your face.
Do I have to change more than a dozen diapers every day?
Many novice mothers and babies change their diapers as soon as they urinate. Although a dozen diapers are used a day, the baby still has severe diaper rash. The baby’s skin is very delicate. When changing diapers, it will be wiped with a paper towel. Wiping the baby’s delicate skin multiple times a day can easily cause damage to it, which makes it more susceptible to infection and rashes.
In fact, the frequency of changing diapers is arranged according to the actual situation of the baby, and there is no need to force how many pieces to be changed every day. Generally, newborn babies who are only 0-2 months old, change their diapers more than ten times a day. After the baby has a bowel movement, it should be replaced immediately, and at other times, it should be replaced every 3-4 hours.
There are urine indicators on the Rouya diapers. It is recommended to change them when the amount reaches 2/3. In order to ensure the baby's sleep at night, it is not necessary to change too frequently, and the frequency of replacement should be maintained at 1-2 times.
Good absorbent diapers, don’t need to wipe them?
Many mothers try to save trouble. When changing diapers, they change dirty diapers and then directly put on new diapers. Changing diapers like this can easily make the baby's butt red.
Although under normal circumstances, the water absorption of the diapers that mothers choose is good, but even so, if the baby urinates, it will be absorbed by the diaper alone, there will still be residual ass.
It is recommended that the baby wipe it with a tissue after urinating, and put on a new diaper after the little butt is dry. After the baby has a bowel movement, you need to rinse the little butt again with warm water, and finally dry it with a clean and soft towel, apply diaper cream, don’t change into a new diaper, and give your baby a chance to "breathe" fresh air. The skin is sufficiently dry.
Is the size of the diaper a little bigger?
Diapers of different sizes can be purchased by referring to the label on the package. The waistline should be close to the baby's waist, and the Velcro tape is more suitable for the center of the waist tape. If the Velcro is attached to the end of the waist sticker, it means that the size of the diaper is smaller. Choose a diaper one size larger next time you buy it.
Check the tightness of the leg rubber bands. If it is too tight, it means that the size is too small. If it is not attached to the leg, it means the size is too large. Due to the rapid growth and development of the baby, the size of the diaper changes quickly. Once you find that the baby is wearing too big or too small, immediately choose the right size.
If the diaper is too big or too small, the baby is uncomfortable. Will it be better for the baby if it does not exist? Fit is the most important thing!
The diapers are one size smaller and don't leak sideways?
Many mothers will deliberately choose smaller size diapers. In order to avoid side leakage when the baby wears the diaper, they did not expect to stick the Velcro tightly when wearing the diaper, but the baby still leaked sideways when sleeping on the side. And because the diapers are too small, the baby’s delicate thighs are strangled with red marks, which is really not worth the gain.
In fact, whether the diaper can solve the side leakage does not depend on the size. The key lies in the material and cutting process, whether the baby really fits.
It is recommended that mothers choose leak-proof diapers for their babies if it is to prevent the baby from urinating, that is, soft diapers with leak-proof partitions and leak-proof enclosures, which can effectively prevent leakage when the baby has too much urine.
