How old is the baby suitable for wearing underwear? What are the benefits of wearing underwear for babies?

In real life, many people think that babies are still young and do not need to wear underwear. Some mothers of babies who are one year old begin to worry about whether or not to put underwear on their babies, and when to put underwear on their babies.

Generally speaking, you can let your baby wear small underwear some time before he or she is ready to go to kindergarten, so that they can develop the habit of wearing small underwear in advance, which is about 2-3 years old. Experts suggest: From the time the baby is out of diapers, you should start letting the baby try to wear small underwear, so that the baby can develop good habits as early as possible.

1. Resist bacteria. Because the baby's body's ability to resist bacteria and viruses is relatively weak, wearing small underwear can help reduce the chance of infection, keep out some impurities in the environment, and protect the baby's private parts.

2. Protective effect: Some outer pants are relatively hard, and wearing small underwear can reduce the friction between the pants and the private parts, which can play a good protective role because the baby's skin is relatively tender.

3. Prevent the baby's abdomen from getting cold. Putting small underwear on your baby can prevent the baby's abdomen from getting cold frequently. The abdomen is very sensitive to temperature. If you don't pay attention to the cold abdomen, the baby will easily get abdominal pain or catch a cold. When the weather is cold, the heat preservation effect of small underwear is particularly prominent.

4. Prevent babies from playing with their genitals. Babies will play with their genitals when they are bored, which can easily increase the chance of bacterial infection of the genitals. Wearing underwear can prevent babies from playing with their genitals.

5. It is helpful for babies to receive toilet training. Learning to use the toilet is an important milestone in the growth and development of babies. Babies who are always naked may not have the awareness of using the toilet and are prone to urinating and defecating anywhere. Choose a pattern of small underwear that your baby likes, and then tell your baby not to wet his pants, otherwise it will dirty the beautiful underwear, and take good care of it.

The baby's skin is delicate and underwear is close to the body, so you must be careful when choosing underwear for your baby.

Generally speaking, when choosing small underwear for your baby, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Try to choose pure cotton as the material. Because pure cotton is soft, breathable, and sweat-absorbent, it is more comfortable to wear, and you don't have to worry about being stuffy in the summer.

2. The size should be moderate. Some mothers think that babies grow fast, so they like to buy larger clothes. This idea is wrong. First of all, since underwear is in contact with the baby's private parts every day, it is more stringent to hygiene, so it is recommended to change it frequently. Secondly, it is uncomfortable for babies to wear underwear that does not fit, which will make them resist underwear. So it is better to choose underwear that fits.

3. Choose light colors. Especially for baby girls, light-colored underwear can help mothers observe some health problems of the baby. For example, if you find yellow scabs or dry pieces on the baby's underwear, it means that the baby has an infection or other developmental problems. Early detection can lead to early treatment.

4. Let the baby choose the style. Although babies are still young, they have a strong desire to protect the things they like. So when choosing small underwear, you might as well let the baby choose the pattern or style they like. This way, they will be more likely to accept it, and will take better care of it and not easily get it dirty.

Won't.

Some mothers think that it is not appropriate for baby boys to wear small underwear too early. This idea is wrong. Because cotton small underwear will make the baby feel comfortable and will not restrict the development of the baby's genitals, so it will not have much impact on the baby's genitals. Mothers can cultivate the habit of wearing underwear for babies from an early age to avoid harm to the baby's genitals.
