Can I put a diaper on my baby in the summer: 4 popular myths
16.07.2024 14:15
As you know, the temperature outside or the month on the calendar does not affect the birth of babies.
If a child is born in the hot season, parents have many additional questions, for example, whether it is worth putting a diaper on the baby, because it increases the risk of prickly heat.
In short, yes, you can use hygiene products for children in the summer.
Modern diapers are made from natural materials, do not contain polyethylene, and therefore do not contribute to the “greenhouse effect”.
Now we propose to discuss in more detail the myths associated with wearing diapers in hot weather.
They are wet
The temperature "overboard" is not able to affect the ability of the product to absorb moisture in any way. If you change the diaper every 3-3.5 hours, you can be sure that moisture and uric acid will not come into contact with the skin.
They are cramped and uncomfortable.
You (or rather your child) will never face such a problem if you choose products that are the right size. Note: if the baby weighs 4 kg, then diapers marked 4-9 will be more comfortable for him than 2-5.
Diaper rash appears in diapers
Diaper rash is the result of prolonged contact of the baby's skin with secretions. If you change the diaper more often and regularly arrange air-water procedures for the baby, everything will be fine with his skin.
They are hot
This is true, but only partly. It is important to understand: it is not the diaper itself that warms the child, but the combination of the diaper with thick clothes that do not allow air to pass through well. Therefore, it is worth choosing clothes for the baby more carefully.
