Baby's skin is still soft and sensitive and is very prone to skin problems. Caring for baby's skin must be careful because if the treatment is wrong it can cause problems with the baby's skin. skin problems in babies are very diverse such as dry skin, redness, scaling, itching to diaper rash. This is why the importance of maintaining healthy baby skin is closely related to the selection of diaper quality. So, do you know the ideal quality of diapers for babies recommended by the Ministry of Health?
According to drg. Widyawati, MKM, Director of Health Promotion and Community Empowerment, maintaining children's overall health is an important thing to do, including skin health. Maintaining skin health is a good habit that must be taught to children since childhood. That way, this can become a habit and make children have a high awareness to do this for life.
She added, related to skin health starting from toddlers, which is often found is diaper rash. Based on the recommendations of pediatricians that parents should do to prevent diaper rash, the following methods:
- Using the right diaper according to the baby's weight
- Routinely cleaning the diaper area with clean water
- Keeping the skin moisturized with cream
- Changing diapers every 3-4 hours.
Regularly changing diapers for the health of the baby, parents, especially mothers, need to be an important concern. In addition, what parents should also do is exclusive breastfeeding. A study says that babies who receive breast milk are better protected from diaper rash.
"Parents and caregivers often underestimate baby skin care, they do not realize that baby skin is different from adult skin. baby skin we know is relatively easier to absorb in the folds. In addition, the function of skin folds is also not fully developed because the pH of the skin is relatively more acidic so it is prone to infection," he explained at the MAKUKU MURI award ceremony on March 28, 2023.
One of the skin disorders often experienced by babies is diaper rash. This diaper rash is a skin disorder that arises due to inflammation in certain areas such as folds covered by diapers. The symptoms are characterized by red spots on the skin and some cases there are blisters. Now without proper treatment diaper rash can cause bacterial infections around the skin, bleeding wounds, and trigger urinary tract infections.
These conditions make babies fussy and their sleep quality will be disturbed when exposed to diaper rash. According to epidemiological data, diaper rash occurs in 65% of children. The incidence of diaper rash in children begins when using diapers. A relatively short duration of diaper rash occurs around 2-4 days. While the highest cases of diaper rash occur in children aged 9-12 months and diaper rash will stop occurring at the age of about 2 years after toilet training.
With the presence of MAKUKU and the breaking of MURI as the thinnest disposable baby diaper and baby diaper with the first anti-clump facility (SAP Technology), Drg Widya hopes that the business world will strive to provide healthy diapers for babies.
"Not stopping at the quality of diapers, I hope the business world will participate in mobilizing the importance of promotive and preventive efforts, one of which is the use of safe baby diapers and still pay attention to hygiene to support the future of Indonesia's next generation who are better and behave clean and healthy," she concluded.
