Many mothers say that changing the baby's diaper is difficult. Whether it's hot or cold, no matter how sleepy you are, you have to get up and change your baby for peeing at night! ! With the birth of disposable diapers, it not only frees up part of the mother's sleep time, but also saves a lot of time to wash the diapers. It is simply a powerful little helper for mothers to raise their children. Although the diaper has a strong function of absorbing urine and locking water, there is a plastic film waterproof layer inside, which reduces the breathability of the diaper. If it is not replaced for a long time, bacteria will grow. In addition, excrement irritation may cause baby red buttocks, diaper rash, and even urinary tract infections. So how often is it better to change diapers? Under normal circumstances, newborn babies have almost no urine due to imperfect body development, so babies urinate frequently every day. Therefore, the mother needs to change the baby's diaper more frequently, about once every 2 hours; as the baby gets older, the development tends to be perfect, basically it can be changed every 3-4 hours, and older can be 4-6 hours; If your baby has a bowel movement, you should change diapers immediately, regardless of age. At the same time, after the baby has a bowel movement, pay attention to washing the baby's buttocks with clean water, so as not to irritate the baby's buttocks with unclean stools. Of course, some mothers cannot tell the exact length of time, so they can pay attention to these time points and signals: 1. After breastfeeding: 15-30 minutes after breastfeeding, the baby's urine may be discharged; 2. Before bedtime: check before bedtime Whether the baby’s diapers are dry; 3. After waking up: the baby will usually pee after waking up; 4. Before going out: check it before taking the baby out. Observe the baby's expression: by observing the baby's expression, analyze whether the baby wants to poop and whether he needs to change a diaper. When the baby is playing, he quiets down suddenly, or makes a mistake, and makes a strong 'umh' sound, and usually starts to defecate. Previous post: How long is the shelf life of diapers?
