Will diapers affect your baby’s learning to go to the toilet?
The baby learns to go to the toilet on his own, provided that his body develops to a certain extent. For example, he can control his urination and defecation when he is about 2 years old, and with appropriate toilet training, the baby can naturally learn to go to the toilet.
Leaving diapers too early does not allow babies to learn to go to the toilet faster.
Is it better for the baby to quit diapers when he is in what?
Before the baby is 2 years old, he cannot control his urine volume and defecation. Quitting diapers too early will affect his defecation training.
It is suggested that after the baby is 1.5 years old, try to remove diapers step by step during the day and let the baby urinate in the bedpan or toilet. When you are 2 years old, try to let your baby quit diapers during the day.
Pants or diapers?
Pull-up pants are suitable for babies over 6 months old. They are usually more active and do not want to let parents change diapers when lying down. Or when the baby is not convenient to lie down outside, you can also choose pull-up pants.
However, small-month-old babies urinate more frequently, most of which are lying down, so it is more convenient to use diapers.
Is the thinner the diaper, the better?
The thickness of diapers does not represent its air permeability and comfort. The air permeability of diapers mainly depends on materials, structures and processes, while excessive pursuit of thin diapers may affect comfort and water absorption.
It is suggested that when selecting diapers, focus on texture, composition, air permeability, water absorption, etc.
How many times a day is it better to change diapers?
Newborns and babies are changed many times. They need to be changed before and after feeding, after defecation and before going to bed every day. Usually, they may need to be changed more than 10 times in 24 hours.
For infants and young children, it should be changed every 3 hours during the day and 1-2 times at night. When the baby is older, for example, after 6 months, it can be changed every 4-6 hours during the day.
Of course, you can also touch the diaper with your hand and find the bulge, or change the color of the diaper’s own urine volume display bar.
How to wear diapers so as not to leak urine?
