How to choose the right diapers for a child

In the modern rhythm even babies and young mothers have to be very mobile. Therefore, diapers for a child today are irreplaceable. They are extremely necessary for walking on the street (especially in the cold season), for going out to visit and for traveling.

Undoubtedly, diapers are also convenient for night sleep. Thanks to them, very many kids got a happy opportunity to sleep next to their mother. But in order to "dry technology" brought only comfort, it is important to know how to choose the right diapers for the child.

The first baby diapers that appeared in Russia - Pampers. This name became a household name, having fixed in use for all diapers for children, although it only means one trademark. Today, except for Pampers, Russian moms are popular with Haggis and Libero. Gradually win the recognition of Bella, combining low price and optimal quality. One of the latest offers of the market - Japanese diapers Moony, Merries and Goon, originally intended exclusively for domestic sales in Japan. In some regions there are European Fixies, Babylino and Cien, Finnish Moommies. Diapers made in Europe are more affordable than Japanese ones. But this does not mean that they are inferior in quality.

Which diapers are best for the baby? The question is ambiguous. After all, their choice depends on the age, weight and individual characteristics of your baby, and your taste. On all diapers is a marking indicating the size and type.

For babies, especially soft diapers are made, leaving the navel open. They are marked NEW BORN and are designed for toddlers with a weight of 2 to 5 kg. In the Russian market such diapers are represented only by eminent manufacturers such as Fixies and Pampers. It is these diapers that you should prepare in advance, even before the birth of the baby. Moreover, in many regions it is quite problematic to find them. But you should not stock them with excess. For example, my baby, born with a weight of 4 kg, diapers for newborns only came for the first 2 weeks, and then became catastrophically small.

Then follows the types Mini, Midi, or digital marking - 2, 3, 4, 4+, etc. Each manufacturer has its own system. So it's easiest to focus on the indication of "weight categories". It depends on the lower boundary here. Say, if your baby's weight has reached 8 kg, it is better to choose diapers with a marking of 7-16 kg, rather than 5-9. Determine that the diaper is small, simple enough. First, the rubber bands on the legs will leave traces, obviously squeezing them. Or the clasps at the waist will stop converging, not allowing you to fasten the diaper. Secondly, the diaper will proceed, even if you put it on exceptionally smoothly. Do not torment yourself or your crumb: go to a larger size.

For children older than the year released panties, conveniently removed and allowing you to comfortably accustom the baby to the pot. Manufacturers offer even different models of diapers for boys and girls. It is very convenient: after all, in fact, "fill" their children in different ways.

All modern diapers are made of natural, environmentally friendly materials, allow the skin to breathe. Convenient fasteners facilitate the change of the diaper, and soft rubber bands along the edges provide a tight fit and protection against leaks. On some diapers there are indicators of fillability, which is very convenient and practical for the mother. Some diapers are impregnated with a special softening lotion that protects the baby's skin from diaper rash. But sometimes it becomes a minus, as for some kids "hypoallergenic" lotion causes the strongest irritation. We, thank God, did not have an allergy, but another problem arose: the smell of lotion was hurting my head. Therefore, we preferred non-smelling and impregnated Haggis UltraComfort and applied them under the powder.

Pampers do not hamper the movement of the baby, allow him to play and communicate, not being distracted by the change of panties. When used properly, baby diapers are an excellent way to keep a good mood for mom and baby. But do not abuse your comfort: no matter how good the diaper, it's better without it. Do not hold the baby for a long time in a stuffed diaper. After removing the diaper, wash the child and leave "ventilated" at least 20-30 minutes. This is especially important for boys whose sexual organs do not suffer overheating.

Gradually, you will determine for yourself how to choose the right diapers for the baby. Do not look back at advertising, at the advice of sellers and girlfriends. Even the price in this matter is not an indicator. Cheaper diapers can be much more suitable for you than expensive ones. In order to choose suitable diapers for your child, take the opportunity to take them individually. Or at least small packages. Try diapers from different manufacturers, of different types. Perhaps, for walks you will choose one diapers, and for a night sleep - others. All individually and all the nuances will become evident only in practice.
