The invention of disposable diapers made life much easier for parents. An unpleasant rash occurs where the diaper touches the baby's skin and can spread all over the body, causing discomfort and severe itching. A few practical tips will help prevent the appearance of adversity.
How to avoid the negative consequences of wearing diapers
You can treat irritation in different ways, from contacting medical personnel to folk remedies. But the easiest way is to prevent the occurrence of trouble than to get rid of the consequences. One of the biggest dangers to baby's skin is high humidity. It accumulates under the diaper in record quantities and prevents the formation of a natural protective layer. This can be avoided by using baby powder on the baby's buttocks and legs.
Observe replacement times
You should change your baby's diaper without waiting for it to fill. After this, the child must be left without a diaper for a while, allowing the skin to breathe oxygen. At the same time, natural fabrics that allow air to pass through to the body should be used as pants or shorts.
A regular bandage is another effective way to help prevent irritation. Before putting on a diaper, a bandage is laid out on its inner surface so that it covers those places where redness usually appears. This method will allow the child to wear even inexpensive products without harming delicate skin.
Thorough cleansing
When changing diapers, baby's skin should be wiped with a clean, damp cloth with an antibacterial effect. If possible, wash the child with baby soap. This is especially important on hot days. Before putting on a new diaper, make sure your baby's skin is clean and dry. Inflammation and irritation are more likely to form on wet surfaces.
The use of special tools
Pharmacies and baby stores offer special products designed to protect the skin from the harmful effects of diapers. Some of them can be used before using the waterproof panties, others are applied after the diaper is removed and the baby is washed.
Change of the usual brand
If diapers are constantly causing skin problems, try a different brand. There is no need to buy products with fragrances in the composition and small diapers that hinder the child's movements. Disposable panties, when sitting, not too tightly, allow air to circulate freely, fighting excess dampness and diaper rash on the skin.
When washing your baby, you should make sure that all dirt is removed from baby's skin. Thoroughly rinse the folds on the legs, drops of urine remaining on the delicate skin cause bacteria to multiply and cause irritation.
The strong immunity of the child helps prevent serious consequences that appear after wearing diapers. Therefore, special attention should be paid to hardening the crumbs, and the organization of good nutrition.
