Diapers can be said to be one of the most used maternal and infant products for babies, expectant mothers begin to choose diapers before the baby is born, in addition to the quality of diapers, the size of diapers also needs to be paid attention to.
It's just that as the baby grows older, some novice parents have difficulty choosing a diaper size for their baby, and know when to change the size of the baby's diaper.
In fact, if the diaper is too small, the baby will have some manifestations.
1. The baby will feel tight and have strangulation marks on the legs
Just like adults wearing pants, if the diaper is too small, even if the crotch is elastic, the baby will feel tight when wearing it.
Some babies wear diapers that are too small, and there will be a red mark at the base of the thigh.
And if the diaper is too small, the baby's movement will also be limited, at least to do a large movement will be subject to greater pulling.
We may not be able to see it, but if we look closely, we will see that the baby's waist or thigh base will cause the skin to turn red due to excessive friction.
2. It's not "appropriate" to wear
Usually, after we help the baby wear diapers, we can adjust the tightness through the velcro on the abdomen.
After adjustment, there should be a certain amount of space in both the baby's waist and the crotch, and the baby should be loosened when he moves.
If the diaper is too small, it will not fit the baby on the body.
Even if the velcro has been applied to the outermost, it is very tight, and the crotch of the pants has become significantly lighter, and it cannot be lifted up, even if it is mentioned at the top, it cannot completely cover the navel.
3. Urine leakage
If the diaper is smaller, then relatively speaking, the capacity is also smaller.
The time for mom and dad to change the baby's diaper will be reduced, and it is easy to leak urine, and it is generally leaked out of the lower back.
On the contrary, if the baby wears diapers, the velcro has been pasted to the middle, and the waist is still very loose, and the crotch is loose and the frills cannot stand up, indicating that the diaper is too big.
Moreover, no matter whether the diaper is too big or too small, the baby is not only uncomfortable to wear, but also prone to urine leakage.
If it's a big winter or a big night, it's a lot more troublesome to change.
So it's best to help your baby wear the right diapers.
How to choose the right size diaper for your baby?
In fact, choosing the right diaper is not as difficult as imagined, because the waist circumference and the root of the thigh are elastic, as long as the size is not much different, there are generally few strangulation marks, excessive friction of the skin and damage.
The baby's height and weight will change at different ages, although not exactly the same, but most of them are within a certain range.
If the baby's height and weight are moderate, and there is no light or heavy weight, you can choose the right size diaper according to the baby's age.
Newborns can choose NB size
Babies around 1-3 months old can choose size S
Babies aged 4-7 months can choose M size
Babies aged 8-12 months can choose L size
The size XL is suitable for babies from 1 year old
▶️
Some babies may not be so well-proportioned in height and weight, and we can choose diaper sizes according to the baby's weight.
The NB size is suitable for babies up to 5 kg.
Size S is suitable for babies from 3-8 kg.
Size M is suitable for babies from 6 to 11 kg.
Sizes L are suitable for babies from 8 to 13 kg.
The XL size is suitable for babies over 12 kg.
In addition, there are some babies whose weight and age are very different, or the baby's body shape is more special, and the above two methods can not choose the right diaper normally, so you can only choose the right diaper for the baby according to the experience of parents.
For babies wearing diapers, parents should pay attention to these points:
♦️ If you don't want your baby to be red, you should change your baby's diapers frequently, and change your baby's diapers every 2-3 hours or so for young babies and every 3-4 hours for older babies.
♦️ Whether the diaper is wet or not, it must be changed for more than 6 hours, so as not to breed bacteria and hinder the baby's health for a long time.
♦️ Don't worry too much about changing diapers or feeding first, if the baby is not very hungry, you can change the diaper first, if the baby is too hungry, you can feed first.
♦️ If there is urine leakage, it is not necessarily that the diaper is too big or too small, it may be that the diaper is not worn well, in order to avoid waste and play the maximum role of diapers, it is necessary to help the baby wear diapers correctly.
Finally, diapers make the baby very close to the product, in addition to choosing the right size, diaper materials are also very important, parents should try to help the baby choose a soft, absorbent diaper, so that the baby is more comfortable to wear.
