Makuku Family as a mother and child consultant continues to educate Indonesian parents about parenting. This time, Makuku collaborated with V Radio through an educational talk show with the theme "What to Pay Attention to in Choosing the Best Diaper" Monday, December 6, 2021.
Choosing the right diaper for a child is not an easy matter. As a parent, Mommy certainly wants the best for her child, right? Including in diaper selection, there are many things that Mommy should consider before deciding on the best one.
As you know, diapers are one of the first clothes a baby wears from birth. Diapers are also inseparable from the child's growth and development process because they are always worn every day. One of the common problems faced by mothers due to using diapers is diaper rash.
For those of you who don't understand, diaper rash or commonly called diaper rash is irritation and inflammation of the baby's skin in the area of diaper use. Factors that cause these symptoms are due to the use of inappropriate diapers such as a size that is too narrow or the ability to absorb is low.
"Diaper rash has become a daily problem for my patients. Diaper rash if left untreated can become a serious problem for children's health," said Makuku Consultant Pediatrician, dr. Andreas, M.Ked(Ped), Sp.A in the event Jalan Sore V Radio with Makuku in Jakarta, Monday 6 December 2021
dr. Andreas said, there are four things that Mommy must pay attention to before choosing the right diaper for the baby. - First, the size must be right, according to weight, not age. According to dr. Andreas, children's development is different so age is not a reference for parents in choosing a particular diaper.
The second point, the diaper must have a high absorption capacity when holding the baby's liquid. The ability to absorb diapers is needed to keep baby's skin dry while preventing infection. The baby's skin must be dry, not wet from the use of diapers.
"The principle is how to take care of the child's sensitive skin where later the skin will not have problems. Make sure the diaper is according to his weight, not his age. Don't buy diapers just because you are tempted by the cheaper price, so choose the size that is not appropriate," explained dr. Andreas.
The third point, continued dr. Andreas, the diaper must also be ergonomic that supports the child's moving activities. Ergonomics in the diaper can be seen from the texture of the diaper which is thin, comfortable and there is a distance between the diaper and the skin so as to prevent friction.
If the diaper is not ergonomic, the child will be fussy and uncomfortable. In the long term it will inhibit the growth of children. The last point that is no less important according to dr. Andreas, parents need to pay attention to diaper changing times.
"Change diapers every 3-4 hours. Even though they are empty, they must be replaced. You can add cream to prevent infections caused by using diapers," said dr. Andreas.
Diaper rash should not be taken lightly by parents. In the long term, diaper rash can interfere with child development in general. If you don't change the diaper immediately, the red rash can turn into a yeast infection that causes the child to itch even more.
"Children will like to scratch, automatically long nails, bloody skin. The worst effect is the appearance of abscesses such as boils," added dr. Andreas.
