Mistakes in choosing the wrong diaper can make your little one uncomfortable, fussy and even in the long term can have a negative impact. One of them is the negative impact of clumping diapers on your little one's skin. Clogged diapers can trigger various skin problems in your little one.

Skin problems that can occur in your little one due to clumping diapers are diaper rash, irritation, allergies, to infections. The thing that parents need to pay attention to is the selection of diapers on sensitive children's skin. According to dr. Rae Fernandez, a pediatrician from Medi Kids Clinic, explained that sensitive skin in children is a skin condition that is easily irritated due to several factors such as moisture or chemical contact. Usually, diaper sensitive areas are areas that are often covered when using diapers.

“Children with sensitive skin should choose diapers that have high absorption. This can help keep your little one's skin moist." said dr. Rae Fernandez.
Diaper rash also increases the chances of more serious illnesses such as Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). The most frequent complication of using the wrong diaper that causes UTI is 7-10%. "Common symptoms of UTI in children include fever, pain when urinating, to bloody urine," he added.

Tips for choosing the right diaper with the ABCDE method

Parents do not need to worry or be confused in choosing the right diaper for baby's sensitive skin. dr. Rae gives tips on choosing the right diaper with the ABCDE method, as follows:

  • Air Out. Keep the diaper area dry in the open air for as long as possible. Making sure diapers are dry and not wet, and choosing diapers with high absorption and softness that help reduce the risk of skin rashes
  • Barrier. Apply a cream containing zinc oxide or petroleum as a moisturizer to protect the skin in the diaper area.
  • Clean. Keep the diaper area clean by changing soiled diapers. In general, diapers are changed every 3-4 hours. And, if your little one defecates, the diaper must be changed immediately because the stool itself can cause infection and irritation.
  • Disposable diapers. Use disposable diapers and make sure they are clean.
  • Educate. Educate and seek information on how to prevent diaper rash for mothers.
