In addition to making it easier for babies to go to the toilet, are there any other advantages and disadvantages of wearing open-crotch pants? Please see the detailed introduction

Is wearing open-crotch pants a bad habit?

From the perspective of concept: In developed countries, babies do not have the habit of wearing open-crotch pants. This is to protect the dignity of a person, even if he is a tiny person. But the arduous task of changing clothes for babies in time falls on the shoulders of parents. In China, babies wear open-crotch pants for the convenience of excretion. This is not because Chinese parents are lazy. This is a long-term habit related to different cultural backgrounds, economic levels, and women's professionalization. But we have to admit that foreign practices are more rigorous and respectful of children. From practical experience: Babies wearing closed-crotch pants can prevent mosquito bites. Babies who learn to sit and crawl should wear closed-crotch pants to prevent unclean things from invading their little buttocks, especially little girls. Therefore, choosing closed-crotch pants is beneficial to babies and has no harm, but it makes parents more tired.

The disadvantages of children wearing open crotch pants

Babies have irregular urination and defecation times and relatively more frequent bowel movements. In order to prevent babies from getting their pants dirty, parents often make them wear open-crotch pants.

This can reduce the hardship for parents in taking care of their babies, and can also solve the health effects on babies caused by parents' inadequate care.

Open-crotch pants, a traditional product exclusively for babies, are convenient for adults but pose hidden dangers to children when they grow up. While making things convenient for parents, they also bring many harms to babies.

1. When babies wear open-crotch pants, their buttocks and genitals are exposed, and external bacteria and viruses can easily enter the baby's body, causing infection and making the baby sick.

For example, when children are having fun, they often sit down on the ground, which can easily cause urethritis, vulvitis, etc., especially for girls with short urethra, which can easily cause urinary tract infection.

2. Wearing open-crotch pants can easily infect infants and young children with pinworms. Babies like to suck their fingers and often scratch their anus due to anal itching, which can cause pinworm eggs to be contaminated. The eggs are then ingested through the hands and then enter the digestive tract, causing infection.

3. As the baby grows older, the child's range of activities increases. When the weather is cold, wearing open-crotch pants may not only freeze the baby's buttocks, but also allow cold wind to directly enter the waist, abdomen and thighs, causing the baby to catch a cold.

4. The baby's genitals are one of the most vulnerable parts of the body and are also the most vulnerable part. Babies are active and without the protection of pants, the baby's buttocks and genitals are also easily injured in bumps and bruises.

5. The baby's physiological satisfaction during the anal stage and the psychological feelings during the toilet training process will have a significant impact on the future personality formation.

Too strict urination and defecation control or an overly indulgent open-crotch pants culture may lead to anal fixation, resulting in the manifestation of corresponding deficient personality traits in adulthood.

6. Wearing open-crotch pants is not just a matter of hygiene habits, but also a sign that parents are ignoring the self-esteem and independent personality that their children should have.

Wearing open-crotch pants requires attention

1. Use different methods according to different ages

Babies under 1 year old can wear diapers;

When babies turn one year old, they can wear full-crotch pants.

2. How to wear it at home and when going out

Wearing open-crotch pants only at home can make it easier for parents to change diapers for the baby and for the baby to practice defecation on the potty. When going out, the baby can wear open-crotch pants inside (preferably with a diaper) and full-crotch pants outside. This is good for protecting the baby, convenient for parents, and also appears more civilized in public places.

3. Keep PP clean

Wash your baby's butt every day to keep it clean. Try to avoid the adverse effects of wearing open-crotch pants on your baby. For example, for male babies, you can use disposable diapers to protect the perineum, and for female babies, you can put snap buttons on the open-crotch pants, which can be opened by pulling when urinating or defecating, and buckled again after defecation.

4. Toilet training for your baby

When the baby is one and a half years old, gradually start training the baby to urinate and defecate on his own.

In short, try to reduce the number of times your children wear open-crotch pants in summer.
