Baby Diapers and Why You Need Not Be Afraid of Them



Babies poop. A lot. And while some would-be parents are naive enough to think they can get through the entire ‘how can this little thing produce so much crap?’ phase with a smile on their faces, they are in for a huge surprise.
But, your scrunched nose and your kid’s amused giggles aren’t the matter of discussion over here. It’s the baby diapers that bother a lot of parents.
Baby nappy pads, are just a part of the pack of supplies you need to clean and sanitise a child who has already done the deed. Just look at the list.
  • Diapers (duh!)
  • Fasteners for cloth diapers
  • Warm water to clean the baby behind
  • Cotton balls for sensitive baby skin
  • A clean cloth or baby wet wipes
  • Lotion, petroleum jelly, or any other diaper ointment
  • A changing station
Let’s go through a few more details which will help you master the diaper-changing art.
1. Count the number of diapers your baby needs in a day
You never want to run out of diapers when you need one. Trust me!
Every child has different pooping timings and frequencies. So don’t take a guess. Don’t ask your neighbour’s aunt’s cousin who once babysat a child for a week about diaper-replenishment frequencies.
For the first month, ten to twelve diapers a day should be okay. As you go ahead from there, observe, count, and always fill the stock before it can run out.
2. How to choose a fit diaper?
If it leaks too much, it’s a wrong size. If the baby has rashes, marks from the diaper lining, or any swelling, it’s the wrong diaper size.
It has to fit around the legs, keep that in mind.
3. The diaper-code for cleaning a baby—follow it religiously
  • Use overnight ones at nights
  • Don’t use diapers with oil or skin cream coatings before making sure whether your baby is allergic or not
  • Keep the changing pad prepared and all the necessities nearby—try not to leave a baby because you had to fetch something
4. How to avoid diaper rashes?
Figure out a proper size and buy it. Don’t wait to change the baby once it’s dirty. Don’t immediately wrap the baby up in another diaper.
Don’t use perfume or deodorant soap or wipes that have alcohol, fragrance, or chemical content in them. If you’re a cloth-diaper person, don’t wash them with fabric softeners or antistatic products.
