So that kidney production increases and makes children pee or urinate frequently. When the weather is cold, the body rarely sweats and the body doesn't need as much fluids as in the rainy season.
For children who still use diapers, of course, this is a concern for parents. Where the frequency of changing diapers will become more frequent and your little one will urinate frequently. For this reason, moms and dads need diapers with high absorption, able to lock the liquid to the maximum so that the surface of the diaper is not wet and the skin's moisture is maintained. When skin moisture is maintained, it can reduce the risk of diaper rash.

Diapers that use SAP or Super Absorbent Polymer core structure, can prevent leakage in diapers. Because the liquid can absorb evenly and quickly.
