1. Types of baby diapers
1.1 Disposable diapers
Disposable diapers are the most common type of baby diapers, which are mainly composed of an absorbent layer and a leak-proof layer. The absorbent layer usually uses polymer water-absorbent resin, which can quickly absorb baby\’s excrement and keep it dry. The anti-leak layer is made of polyethylene or other materials, which can effectively prevent leakage.
Advantages: It is easy to use and does not require cleaning, which can reduce the burden on parents. At the same time, due to its good water absorption performance and leak-proof function, it can effectively keep the baby dry.
Disadvantages: Disposable diapers need to be replaced in time after use, otherwise they will cause problems such as diaper rash. At the same time, because it is made of chemical materials, long-term use may cause certain pollution to the environment.
1.2 Cloth diapers
Cloth diapers are a traditional baby diaper that are accepted by more and more parents in modern times. They are mainly made of cotton or other natural materials and can be washed and reused over and over again.
Advantages: Compared with disposable diapers, cloth diapers can be reused and will not pollute the environment. At the same time, because it is made of natural materials, it is more friendly to baby\’s skin.
Disadvantages: Compared with disposable diapers, the cleaning and drying process is more cumbersome. At the same time, due to its poor water absorption performance, it is easy to leak out at night or when the baby has a large amount of excretion.
2. Choose a diaper suitable for your baby
2.1 Size selection
Baby diapers are usually available in different sizes, and parents need to choose the appropriate size based on the baby\’s age and weight. If you choose a size that is too small, it will be tight and airtight, affecting the baby\’s comfort; if you choose a size that is too large, it will easily lead to problems such as urine leakage.
2.2 Material selection
For baby\’s skin, material is a very important factor. Disposable diapers are often made from chemical materials that may be irritating to your baby\’s skin. Cloth diapers, on the other hand, are made of natural materials and are more friendly to your baby’s skin. Therefore, when choosing baby diapers, parents should give priority to products made of natural materials.
3. How to use baby diapers correctly
3.1 Preparations before changing diapers
Before changing diapers, you need to prepare the following items: clean wipes, water or cleaning fluid, dry paper towels or cotton balls, and new diapers.

4. How to avoid diaper rash
4.1 Try to keep your baby dry and clean
Diaper rash is usually caused by not changing diapers for a long time or not cleaning them thoroughly. Therefore, parents should change diapers regularly and clean them with mild detergent or water. At the same time, you need to use a dry paper towel or cotton ball to wipe the diaper after each change to keep the skin dry.
4.2 Use appropriate diapers or cloth diaper materials
For babies prone to allergies, it is very important to choose baby diapers made of appropriate materials. Disposable diapers are often made from chemical materials that may be irritating to your baby\’s skin. Therefore, parents can choose cloth diapers made from natural materials, or look for disposable diapers with no additives or fragrances.
Summary:
Baby diapers are an essential item in your baby\’s daily life. Choosing the right diaper and using it correctly can effectively protect your baby\’s health and comfort. When choosing baby diapers, parents should give priority to products made of natural materials and choose the appropriate size based on the baby\’s age and weight.
