The man was born! With his birth, parents add not only new joys, but also cares. One of the most acute tasks for the coming months of the baby's life is the purchase of baby pampers. The kid in them should be comfortable, and mum with them - it is convenient. But the main thing is that they should always be at hand, especially if the age of your crumb is counted in days.
Which diapers are best for newborns
Parents who want their baby the best, start choosing hygiene items long before the baby's birth. Preparing for childbirth, a young mother is determined in advance what kind of hygiene products she needs for her child:
- Should I use reusable diapers? Do I make gauze diapers myself?
- Or to use disposable diapers for newborns?
Reusable diapers
Modern diapers reusable are becoming more popular. They combine the positive qualities of traditional diapering methods and the already familiar pampers. Moms choose reusable diapers for various reasons. Here are some of them:
- They are made of environmentally friendly materials( flannel, bamboo, wool).
- Do not cause allergies, reduce the risk of diaper rash, irritation.
- Stitched from fabric, they do not pollute the environment.
- Purchased once, serve the whole period of infancy, excluding spending on diapers one-time.
When choosing reusable baby diapers, parents doom themselves to the daily need to wash and dry them. If there is a washing machine in the house, this is not a big problem, but washing requires energy, time, and drying - favorable temperature conditions, places. Diapers and inserts to them will have to be changed more often than disposable ones, especially in the first month of life. There should be a lot of them, so you will not be able to save much. A reusable diaper might be better for an older child.
Gauze diapers for infants
Such diapers have been used for a long time, when disposable diapers for newborns people have not yet been invented. In modern life gauze is often present due to the efforts of the older generation. Grandmothers of babies find many advantages in using self-made gauze diapers:
- Gauze diapers are made from natural cotton.
- This material "breathes", the skin of the child remains healthy.
- This is a cheap material. Using gauze or fabric will save a good amount for the first month of life.
- From gauze does not suffer from ecology.
Many grandmothers are sure: the best diapers for their grandchildren are gauze, but in reality everything does not turn out smoothly:
- Absorbs gauze not too much liquid.
- Diapers change very often.
- Sleeping in the wet, the baby risks getting diaper rash or irritation, and when you decide to change it, he will wake up.
- If you use a gauze diaper, putting on a child for a walk, most of the time he will walk wet.
Add to this daily washing, drying, ironing on both sides( such recommendations are often found on the Internet) and you will understand that gauze for hygiene is more nostalgia than solving the problems of the baby. The choice is always for the parents, but you need to use this kind of diapers. They need to be sewn, folded, and also worn on the baby correctly, so that the child was comfortable. Under the gauze must be used baby cream.
Disposable diapers
It is possible to argue about the useful and harmful sides of disposable diapers, but with this invention my mother has a lot of time to communicate with the child. Do not rush to refuse diapers for newborns in favor of gauze: possibly properly selected disposable diaper will allow you to get enough sleep and gain strength after childbirth.
You can use disposable hygiene products from the first days of your baby's life, for this special diapers for newborns are made with a cutout for the navel. The special device of the belt allows to avoid discomfort in the area of the unhealed umbilical wound. Diapers for newborns are universal, but sometimes they are released separately for boys and girls. For such crumbs, the differences in style are not as important as the dimensions of the diapers and the quality of their absorbent layer.
