How to use diapers
As far as the part of the skin using diapers is concerned, healthy skin should be dry. Wet skin will quickly become fragile and prone to diaper rash. In order to minimize the dampness caused by diapers, the diapers should be replaced frequently, and diapers with strong absorption should be used. If you use cloth diapers for your baby, you should check and change diapers more often.
Vaseline oil, zinc oxide ointment or diaper rash also helps protect the skin from moisture. Baby powder may make your baby's skin feel very comfortable, but it is not the best for babies. Baby powder can reduce the friction between the diaper and the child's skin in a short time, but once it gets wet (the child will definitely wet it!), it is useless. Your baby may even inhale large amounts of powder, which will be very dangerous.
As the child continues to grow, the number of diaper replacements will gradually decrease, starting at an average of ten times a day and gradually decreasing to six times. It is common to change diapers before or after each feeding and after each stool. Another thing is to change the diaper when the child is still awake before going to bed. You should also change diapers before you take your child out.
When changing diapers, you should have a clean diaper on hand!
Diaper cream or petroleum jelly
A soft towel and a small basin of warm water!
Be sure to prepare everything before you start, and never leave the baby alone on the changing table!
Remove the wet diaper first. If it's just wet, just change one, you don't have to clean the genital area. If the diaper is still stained with stool, the child's buttocks should be cleaned with a towel and warm water. There is no need to use soap unless the child has diarrhea, which is not cleaned with water alone. When necessary, flexible soaps can be used (even soft soaps will remove important natural oils from children's skin). Apply ointment or petroleum jelly and replace with clean diapers.

Special advice for newborn girls:
Always wipe from front to back to avoid fecal contamination of the genitals. Only water is needed to clean this area. In the first few days, there will be fluid or even a little blood discharged from the vagina, which is normal, because the child is adjusting to the fluctuating hormones in his body after birth.
Special advice for newborn boys:
It should also be wiped from front to back. If your only child is not circumcised, do not pull the prepuce back. The foreskin will gradually relax on its own, and by the age of three it can usually contract completely. If he has circumcised, he should cover the penis with gauze coated with petroleum jelly or antibiotic ointment to help the wound heal. In the first week, some swelling and yellow scabs may develop.
Use special diapers for babies at night
Many medical experts are suggesting that the quality of the baby’s sleep at night is related to physical growth, bone development, intellectual development, and temperament development (mentioned in the relevant discussion of the Shaanxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital). From 10 pm to 2 am is the baby’s long body. In the prime time, it is recommended that young mothers pay enough attention to the quality of their baby's sleep.
The quality of your baby’s sleep has a lot to do with the feeding test
Some mothers worry that the baby will be hungry at night, and will wake the baby in the middle of the night, and then feed breast milk, and over time, the baby will form a habit of feeding at night, once crying at night will wake up, and this will seriously affect Baby's sleep quality.
Baby's sleep quality is related to parenting style
Many mothers disturb the baby's sleep because they are worried about the baby's wetness at night. On the one hand, even if the baby does not have wet urine, the baby will wake up. On the other hand, changing the diaper will make the baby wake up completely. It directly affects the quality of the baby's sleep, and the fundamental reason why the mother frequently flips the baby at night to check whether the urine is wet is that the diaper cannot absorb the baby's urine many times, and the baby's buttocks will be exposed to bacteria for prolonged contact with urine.
The diaper specially designed for babies to use at night meets the conditions:
Must have instant absorption and drainage fractional absorption technology, which can absorb the baby's urine and urine volume for many times (the baby usually wets for 3-4 nights before the age of 1 year, and the total amount does not exceed 300ml)
To have a bacteriostatic effect, because the baby's urine is easily combined with the oxygen in the air to breed bacteria in a warm and humid environment, the bacteria will have the potential to infest the baby, especially the baby girl, because the baby girl's vagina is the most sensitive ( Diapers without bacteriostatic effect are recommended to be replaced every 3 hours, and diapers with bacteriostatic effect can be changed once a night, generally no more than 12 hours)
It is best to have an elastic waist so that it fits better. Paper diapers without elastic waist may cause the baby to be wet after being wet, and the baby has the characteristics of turning over repeatedly at night. It is easy to not move with the butt and it is easy to tighten (strangle) the inside of the baby's thigh, elastic It is best to choose the waist with vent holes, so that you can discharge the sultry heat
There must be leak-proof folding, so that the bed will not be full of baby urine
It is best to use a breathable base film, which is breathable and not water permeable, and the baby's butt is very dry and very comfortable
It is best to feel soft and comfortable. Some diapers have a hard piece of touch (may be a water-absorbing polymer), which makes the baby uncomfortable to wear overnight
It is best to absorb it without breaking. Once the fault is broken, it is easy to overflow the polymer, and sensitive skin and polymer are easy to be allergic.
It is worth noting that the ammonia produced by diapers affects the environment and health, stimulating the baby's eyes and respiratory tract.
