Taking care of a newborn is challenging, especially if it’s your first time as a parent. One of the things that makes it easier to care for them is to use quality pampers for the baby.
One of the important things to consider from the start is how to wear diapers correctly and safely.
It may sound trivial, but if you use the wrong one, your little one may get irritated or feel uncomfortable!
At the age of 0 to 3 months, baby’s skin is still super sensitive and can easily get diaper rash.
That’s why it’s important to know how to choose and fit the right diapers, so that your baby’s skin stays healthy and he can sleep soundly without interruption.
Let’s take a look at safe and simple tips that you can immediately practice at home!
Understand Newborn Skin Needs
Newborn skin is much thinner and more sensitive than adult skin.
Because they are not fully developed, their skin’s protective layer cannot work optimally.
This is why babies’ skin is so prone to irritation, rashes, or even minor infections if not treated carefully.
At the age of 0-3 months, babies also urinate and defecate frequently, making the diaper area the most vulnerable area.
So it’s really important to choose diapers that are really soft, free of harsh chemicals, and have good air circulation.
Equally important, the frequency of diaper changes should also be regular so that the baby’s skin remains clean, dry, and not damp for too long.
The point is, understand that baby’s skin needs extra attention from day one.
Steps to Wearing diapers Safely
Wearing diapers for newborns may seem easy, but if done carelessly, it can make your little one uncomfortable or even irritated.
To be on the safe side, let’s follow these steps.
First, make sure you choose a diaper size that matches your baby’s weight.
Diapers that are too tight can cause chafing, while those that are too loose can leak easily.
Second, always wash your hands before changing diapers.
This is very important to prevent germs from transferring to baby’s sensitive skin.
Third, gently clean the diaper area with baby wipes or damp cotton wool, and then dry it before putting on a new diaper.
Don’t forget to clean from front to back, especially for baby girls to prevent infection.
Fourth, put the diaper on just right-not too tight but not loose either.
The waist should not press against the skin and the adhesive should sit symmetrically.
Finally, change diapers regularly, don’t wait until they are completely full.
Ideally, diapers are changed every 2-3 hours or as soon as the baby poops.
With the right steps, you can help keep your little one’s skin comfortable and healthy every day.
Signs of an Incorrect Diaper Fit
Not all diapers are suitable for all babies.
Sometimes, even though we think we’ve chosen the best, problems can still arise.
It’s important for parents to recognize the signs that the diapers they’re using may not be suitable or that they’re not being used correctly.
One of the most obvious signals is a baby’s skin redness, blisters, or a rash in the diaper area.
This can happen because the diaper material is too rough, the air circulation is not good, or there are certain chemicals that do not match the baby’s skin.
If the rash keeps reappearing despite hygiene, it could be time to change diaper brands or types.
Other signs include restlessness, fussiness, or frequent crying after being diapered.
It may feel too tight, too loose, or hot on the skin. Sometimes even small things like the waist pressing against the skin can make babies uncomfortable.
Then if the diaper leaks frequently, the problem could be the wrong size or the wrong fitting method.
For example, the adhesive is not aligned, or the edges of the diaper are not trimmed out.
Frequent leaks are not only inconvenient, but can also cause irritation because the baby’s skin is moisturized for too long.
So, it’s important to always pay attention to your baby’s reaction and skin condition every time you use a new diaper.
Their responses can be a “subtle code” that helps us know what to fix.
