In modern times like this, it has become commonplace for many moms and dads to switch brands of disposable diapers. The reason is mostly because your little one doesn't fit a certain brand of diaper and rashes arise. This condition certainly makes moms and dads dizzy, because some diapers may be out of budget. Not to mention moms and dads have to spend additional funds to treat skin affected by rashes.
Then, what are the real signs of a baby not suitable for diapers and solutions to these problems? Instead of being curious, let's just look at the following information, yes, moms and dads.
1. Signs - signs of a baby not suitable for diapers
Usually, whether or not your little one is suitable with disposable diapers, we can observe from the skin. For babies who don't fit certain diapers, their skin will usually turn red in certain areas, for example on the buttocks, groin, and around the genitals. This reddened skin is called diaper rash and often peels off.
Diaper rash itself occurs due to the baby's skin covered in diapers not getting enough air circulation, allergies to diaper making materials, to irritation to the baby's urine and feces. The baby's urine and feces that are in continuous contact when wearing this diaper can cause the skin's acidity level to change so that it is prone to making bacteria and fungi breed.
When experiencing a rash, your little one usually becomes more fussy because of the itching and pain, especially when the part covered in the diaper is accidentally touched. Therefore, it is very important for moms and dads to frequently check and change the baby's diaper at least every 2-3 hours.
From the explanation above, we can conclude that a good diaper is a diaper that does not cause rashes on the baby's skin, moms and dads. When your little one gets allergies, irritation and diaper rash, it's a good idea for moms and dads to take their beloved baby to a pediatrician for the best treatment.
2. Diaper Rash Solutions and Prevention
If your little one is allergic to ingredients from a certain diaper maker, then what moms and dads can do is change disposable diapers with other brands. If moms and dad's baby has a rash due to the detergent used to wash cloth diapers, then change and use another brand of detergent to wash your baby's diaper. It is a solution for your baby who tends to have sensitive skin so they tend to be allergic to certain ingredients.
Another solution that moms and dads can do is to be diligent in changing your little one's diaper, especially after defecating. Also make sure that your baby's diaper is not too tight, because a diaper that is too small and tight can also cause a rash. Use warm water and mild soap to clean the genital area, buttocks, and groin of your baby. If cleaning with warm water and soap is not possible because you are on a trip, moms and dads can use wet wipes with a balanced pH that are fragrance-free and alcohol-free.
After the baby's skin that is exposed to dirt is cleaned, wipe it with a soft cloth or tissue until it is completely dry. Air the area that will be put on the diaper between 10-15 minutes before using the diaper again. You may also want to consider leaving your little one without a diaper for a few days so that his skin can breathe freely and speed up healing of the affected area.
3. Treatment of Skin Rashes in Babies
Before putting on diapers again, moms and dads can apply creams or ointments that contain zinc oxide on the baby's reddened skin due to rashes. Some creams also often add extra chamomile and moisturizer to soothe and soften baby's skin due to irritation and allergies. It is not recommended to use powder with fragrance on the area where the diaper will be applied, as it will clog the pores and make the rash worse.
Another case if the rashes occur due to fungal or bacterial infection. Doctors will usually prescribe an antifungal ointment or cream that contains antibiotics. Therefore, if the rashes on the baby do not go away after about a week, even though they have changed diapers and given anti-rash cream, moms and dads are advised to visit the doctor.
After the cream or ointment is spread evenly, wait a few moments for it to completely absorb before putting the diaper back on. As an anticipation, from the start, use the best diaper for your little one to prevent diaper rash. Moms and dads can use MAKUKU Air Diapers disposable diapers.
