Precautions for changing baby's diapers
Special care for baby boys and girls When changing diapers and cleaning buttocks and vulva for baby girls, pay attention to scrub from front to back to prevent bacteria in the anus from entering the vagina. There is no need to clean the inner labia. Changing the diaper for a baby boy does not need to deliberately clean the foreskin before half the year old, because the foreskin of a baby boy is about 4 years old and grows together with the penis. Turning the soft foreskin prematurely can damage the baby's genitals. How to change diapers Prepare warm water, clean dry towels, disinfected toilet paper and clean diapers. Fold the old diapers and put them in the dirt bucket. During this period, the child must not be left, and the dirt bucket must be placed aside in advance. Open a new diaper and place it under the baby's buttocks. Uncover the waist stickers on both sides, and stick them firmly in the proper elastic position. It maintains a better leak-proof effect without being too firm. Untie the old diapers, hold the baby's ankles with your thumb and middle finger, place the index finger between the ankles, gently pick up the legs and buttocks, and withdraw the old diapers. Rinse the baby's buttocks with clean, warm water. When a person is unable to rinse, put the water in the basin and wash with hands. You can also use ready-made sterile wipes to gently scrub. Pay attention to clean skin folds. Finally, dry the skin with a dry towel. How to use a diaper When using a rectangular diaper, place a double-fold pad on the buttocks, wrap it around the anus and genitals on the abdomen, wrap the cloth belts at the corners of the diaper on the buttocks, make a knot on the diaper on the abdomen, and then Turn down the diaper above the cloth belt and stuff it toward the anus to prevent it from being sucked onto the underwear after wetting. In the same fashion, it can absorb more urine and reduce dirt and coating. Some rectangular diapers are not equipped with cloth belts at the two corners. An elastic band can be placed around the lower abdomen of the newborn to fasten the diaper, but it should not be too tight to avoid damage to the skin.
