Will using diapers cause a red butt?

It is better to use diapers, which are more breathable. However, if the baby poops or pees, you must change him in time. Don't cover the baby's buttocks. Covering with diapers can easily cause red buttocks.

What to do if using diapers is more likely to cause diaper rash (red butt) in babies

In fact, survey data shows that babies who wear disposable diapers have fewer fecal bacteria on their hands and toys than those who wear diapers. Diaper rash has nothing to do with which baby is used. The following four points are important:

1. Use alkaline water to wash diapers for better sterilization, and it is best to dry them in the sun or bake them; choose diapers with good water absorption, and never have plastic on the outside to avoid water accumulation after urination, which will not only make the baby uncomfortable but also make the baby more likely to have a diaper.

2. Whether it is a diaper or a disposable diaper, you must choose a size that fits your baby's bottom. If it is too tight, it will not be breathable and will easily get damp, which will hinder the baby's movements and make him cry when he gets impatient; if it is too loose, urine will leak from the side. In addition, do not use a diaper that is too thick, which can really cause diaper rash.

3. After the baby urinates or defecates, change the diaper in time and wash it with warm water immediately. Make sure the baby's butt is dry before putting on a new diaper.

4. If there are signs of red buttocks, do not wipe it with paper towels as this may scratch the skin. It is best to use your hands to rub it with water so that it is easier to control the strength.

How to use diapers

Diapers are one of the essential daily necessities for every newborn baby, because the newborn baby's urination and defecation cannot be controlled. In order to keep the baby clean and healthy, it is necessary to tidy up the baby frequently. Diapers are our good helpers. When using diapers, you need to pay attention to the following three issues:

(1) Diaper temperature: The temperature of the diaper must be much lower than the temperature of the baby's abdominal skin. Newborns need to change diapers many times a day. If the diaper is placed on the baby's abdomen every time, the baby will have to warm more than a dozen diapers a day, and the abdomen will get cold to a great extent. Newborns are most afraid of getting a cold abdomen, so special attention must be paid.

(2) Diaper changing time: Mothers should change diapers before feeding or after waking up. Do not change diapers after feeding or while sleeping, even if the diaper is wet. Also, place another small piece of diaper on the diaper and discard it after defecation. If there is only urine stain on the diaper, wash it and expose it to the sun before reuse.

(3) Diaper changing technique: When changing a diaper, you need to lift the baby's feet, fold the diaper upwards to cover the dirty area, wipe off the remaining feces with a thick and moistened toilet paper, then change the dirty diaper, and then tuck a clean diaper under the baby's buttocks at waist level.

Homemade diapers, convenient and practical

Homemade diapers

Step 1: Choose a used large-size diaper and fill it with water (of course you can also choose a new one).

Step 2: Use scissors to cut a 6 to 7 cm hole on the side of the diaper that touches the buttocks. Turn the diaper over and rinse out the cotton-like stuffing inside with water, then let it dry.

Step 3: Turn the dried diaper over, flatten the waterproof outer layer, and make the butt-sticking side stick to the outer layer (because there is excess glue between the outer layer and the inner layer).

Step 4: Cut off the diaper adhesive strip.

Now, a simple diaper is ready! Tie a wide rubber band around the baby's waist, fold the diaper and put it in the diaper, tuck it into the rubber band on the baby's waist. Because the crotch of the diaper has an arc and elastic pleats, the diaper is very stable inside, and the baby can move freely without worrying about warming the butt, wetting the bed or leaking urine. If the diaper is wet, just take it out and replace it with a new one. It doesn't cost a penny to prepare a few more diapers.

In summer, not only is diaperitis more likely to occur, but all wrinkled areas are prone to erosion and ulceration. For example, under the neck, under the armpits, knees, elbows, groin, etc., babies should be bathed frequently, especially the wrinkled areas, which should be cleaned, dried, and appropriately used with talcum powder.

Another reminder: In the summer, it is best not to put diapers on your baby during the day. You should record the interval between each urination of your baby to remind him and help him gradually form a urination pattern. After putting on diapers, even if he does not urinate, the diapers will be left with bacteria carried on his skin, and the diapers are easy to be damaged after wearing, so they should not be reused.
