Disposable diapers

Disposable diapers for babies are a product that no layette can do without. They are bought as often as they are consumed - they become part of the parent's everyday life from the very first days of a toddler's life. The media floods us with advertisements for babies' nappies on all sides. So how do you find a quality product that is safe for your child's health in the maze of thousands of offers? Which disposable diapers for a newborn should I choose?

Which disposable diapers for a newborn baby are best to choose?

Disposable diapers for babies must be made of materials that are safe in contact with the skin. That is why disposable diapers without chemicals contained in the materials are safe for the toddler. A child's skin does not yet have a fully developed epidermal layer, therefore it is easily irritated. A well-chosen and made diaper must guarantee freedom of movement, and also absorb the contents and the unpleasant smell well. For which disposable diapers to choose, an online ranking by a trusted institution can help a lot. First of all, it is also best to choose diapers recommended by the Institute of Mother and Child, thanks to which we can be sure that we use a fully tested product that is safe for delicate children's skin.

When does diaper rash occur?

Diaper rash occurs for two reasons - low frequency of diaper changes and insufficient hygiene of the baby's skin. The multiplication of bacteria, irritation and the first symptoms of rash are the result of direct contact of the baby's skin with moisture from the diaper. That is why the frequency of changing the diaper is extremely important - while breastfeeding, the baby is able to urinate approximately every 15 minutes! It is assumed that diapers should be changed every 2-3 hours maximum. In addition to the frequency of diaper changes, proper hygiene and care of the child's skin is also important - get to know cosmetics for children with a good reputation by the Institute of Mother and Child. The use of olives and creams will help to maintain the proper condition of the toddler's skin also in intimate places.

How to adjust the size of the diaper?

Diapers are selected based on two key parameters: the child's weight and the product size. Information about the body weight for which a given diaper is suitable is usually found on the packaging. Things get tricky when it comes to sizing.

Diaper sizes may vary between manufacturers – for example, a Bella Baby Happy Before Newborn diaper in size 1 won't have exactly the same dimensions as a Dada Extra Care Newborn diaper in the same size. Therefore, it's best to base your decision on the child's weight and test the sizes. The diaper should not restrict the child's freedom of movement.
