Which is better, diapers or nappies?

This is a long-standing topic of debate. My personal suggestion is to choose according to the individual, or use them together. (In fact, Doudou’s mother recommends using diapers at home during the day and diapers at night. Of course, you can also use diapers when you go out to play!)

Advantages of diapers: 1. Breathable, less prone to diaper rash if changed in time. 2. More comfortable for the baby. 3. Economical.

Disadvantages of diapers: 1. Troublesome, need to change as soon as they get wet, especially at night. 2. More likely to get pants and bed wet and dirty. 3. Diapers need to be washed frequently.

Advantages of diapers: 1. Convenient, just change at regular times, and your baby will sleep more peacefully at night. 2. No need to worry about problems when going out and returning home disappointed. 3. Proper use will not easily leak urine from the sides and back (the thigh area should basically fit the skin without large gaps, but also not too tight to be uncomfortable. After putting it on, put your fingers into the edge to adjust the leak-proof lace; the waist area should also basically fit the skin, otherwise when lying down, a large bubble of urine may leak out from the back without being absorbed in a few seconds) 4. Adults will be much more relaxed because they don't have to wash diapers again in a while!

Disadvantages of diapers: 1. They are relatively not breathable, and this varies greatly among different price levels. 2. After absorbing water, the inner surface of a good diaper remains dry, and the water-absorbing particles become heavy and hang underneath, and the inner surface does not directly contact the skin, so the child will not feel uncomfortable after urinating, and may lack motivation during toilet training.

Editor's suggestion

1. For those who are not short of money, there are Japanese Kao, Daioh, Unicharm, Huggies Gold, and German Purple. The above are ranked in no particular order. (In fact, Daioh also has the Angel series, which is more high-end)

2. If you consider the cost-effectiveness, you can match them for daytime and nighttime. During the day, you can wear silver, mama's boy, or white clothes. At night, you can wear something that you can afford, so forget about the green clothes.

3. In the S and earlier stages, try to use better diapers. After all, newborn babies are more sensitive and consume a lot of diapers, so you can’t just consider the cost-effectiveness at this stage. After size M, diapers will undergo a bigger change, and the baby will have a certain degree of adaptability, and the excretion time will also begin to become regular. At this time, you can adjust it according to the situation. From the late M stage, diapers and pull-up pants can be used together.

4. When it comes to diapers, there is no need to be superstitious about exposure rate. You get what you pay for is always the truth. Just go to Amazon and search for the price of the same model (converted to the price of each piece), and you can basically make a judgment.

5. Judging from the prices of domestic e-commerce companies, Amazon is always the most generous.

Newborn care should include the following points

1. Feeding: Newborns have poor digestive function, and breast milk is the most ideal food. Breastfeeding should be insisted on. If breastfeeding is not available, infant formula milk powder can be used.

2. Prevent infection: Newborns have poor resistance and are easily infected. Therefore, try to reduce visits from relatives and friends. Wash your hands with soap before caring for newborns. Washing your hands cleanly is very important to prevent newborn infections. People at home who have colds or various infectious diseases should not come into contact with newborns.

3. Skin care: The skin of newborns is delicate, so it is very important to keep the skin dry and clean, especially the skin wrinkles such as the neck, armpits, elbows, groin, etc. They should be bathed and changed every day, and diapers should be changed in time when they are wet. They should be cleaned after each urination and defecation. When cleaning the vulva of baby girls, wipe from the perineum to the anus to prevent feces around the anus from contaminating the vagina and urethra.

4. Care of the five sense organs: Pay attention to the cleanliness of the newborn's face, external auditory canal opening, nostrils, etc., but do not dig the external auditory canal and nasal cavity. Since the oral mucosa is delicate and rich in blood vessels, it is very easy to be abraded and cause infection, so do not scrub the mouth frequently.

5. Bathing: From a medical point of view, families with the conditions should bathe their newborns every day. However, due to limited conditions, it is difficult to maintain a high indoor temperature during bathing, especially in cold winter. The interval between two baths should be chosen according to the climate: in hot summer, 1-2 baths can be taken every day; in spring, autumn or cold winter, due to the low ambient temperature, if the family has the conditions to keep the room temperature at 26℃-28℃ and the water temperature between 38℃-50℃, the bath gel or soap used should be a special baby soap with less skin irritation.

6. Observation of stool: If the newborn has not urinated within 24 hours after birth, you should feed some warm water and wash the buttocks with warm water to promote urination. Most normal newborns start to defecate within 12 hours after birth. The stool of newborns is generally dark green within 1-2 days after birth, and then gradually turns yellow, soft and sticky. The stool is relatively sticky and dark green, called "meconium", which is discharged gradually within 2-3 days after birth.
