Caring of baby wearing diaper
Diaper
A diaper is a type of underwear that allows baby to defecate or urinate without the use of toilet,
by absorbing waste products to prevent soiling of outer clothing.

Advantages of wearing disposable diaper

 They are convenient to use. They are easily available and also can be disposed easily
after use.
 Using a diaper saves time as it decreases the frequency of changing diaper compared to
cloth diaper.
 Diapers can be used in sick babies who cannot urinate and defecate normally.
 Diapers are useful for babies travelling to long distance or going for an outing.

Disadvantages of wearing disposable diaper

 They are expensive as a baby can use about 7-8 diapers per day.
 They can cause skin rashes due to prolong use of wet diapers as moisture can be a perfect
breeding ground for bacteria.
 Diapers can cause toilet training more difficult as babies feel comfortable in diapers and
do not show signals of urinating or defecation.
 They may cause allergic reactions to babies.
 Diapers makes a baby prone to catch skin and urine infections as it creates an appropriate
condition for bacteria and other germs to breed.
 Use of diapers and not changing it frequently may also hinder walking in babies.
 Diapers are not environment friendly as they contain plastics, synthetic fibers and other
chemicals that cause environmental pollution.

Care of babies wearing diaper

 Check the baby’s skin frequently to ensure that there are no rashes.
 Avoid heavier diaper during day time. Use soft cloth diaper as much as possible.
 Always wash hands before and after changing baby’s diaper.
 Change diapers once in 2-3 hours to avoid rashes and infections.
 When babies pass stool remove the diaper immediately, gently wipe stool from skin using
water and mild cleansers, such as dove.
 Avoid over-washing the skin especially with perfumed soaps or commercial wipes that
may be irritating.
  After removing diaper, dry it thoroughly and apply baby lotion, coconut oil or
moisturizer over the skin.
 After removing diaper, don’t make the baby wear diaper immediately. Allow his skin to
breath and let it be free for some time.
 Give baby a diaper free time of 3-4 hours in a day.
 If there are any marks around the baby's legs and waist, the diaper is too tight so get a
looser fit for next time.
 Use the alternatives of disposable diaper as far as possible. the alternatives may be:
 Soft cotton cloths
 Make sure the area is dry and clean before putting on a new diaper.
 Change diaper once during night.

Summary
Disposable diapers are used by many people for their babies for their convenience. But
precautions should be taken while wearing a diaper to baby as it may cause rashes, infection and
allergic reactions. Frequent changing of diapers, cleaning baby's skin after removing diaper,
washing hands before and after changing diaper, providing a diaper free time etc. are the
measures to avoid any problems arising from use of diaper.
