Cautions in Changing Babies
As a result of comparisons between disposable diapers and cotton diapers, it is seen that there is no economic difference. However, it can be said that disposable diapers have better absorbency rates and are more comfortable because they do not make the baby feel wet.
On the other hand, disposable diapers are better for infants and unwanted leakages are less common. Disposable diapers are also preferred in terms of diaper rash development.
Subchange
It is very important to keep your baby clean and dry in order to keep your baby healthy. Negative situations that may affect nutrition and sleep may also lead to the loss of the peace of the entire household.
In this brochure you will find the points you need to pay attention to to change your baby's diaper, and the information we have prepared for you to prevent or cause diaper rash.
Replacement Time
If your baby is pooping, "don't be late" will be our first word to you.
One of the most important parts of your baby's daily care, sub-care can be expected to be around 7-12 per day in the first months. These amounts will decrease as they grow. If anything is wrong with you, you should consult your pediatrician as soon as possible.
If the baby is unclean or uneasy before feeding, the diaper should be replaced because the unclean baby may not be able to suck as much as necessary. On the other hand, you may need to change your baby's diaper, as there may be defecation after feeding due to increased bowel movements.
Wiping material: Wet wipes and towels should be avoided especially in the first months, even if they provide ease of use. While these products provide practical benefits when you are out of the home, alcohol-containing products should not be used as they disrupt the protective layer of the skin. In addition, water-wetted wet wipes of some brands which do not contain any chemicals can also be used.
For the first two months, infants should only use pre-boiled, warmed water and cotton during use (rectangular baby cottons sold for newborns or disc cottons used to remove make-up provide ease of use in this respect).
After two months, it is better to continue with water instead of using ready-made wet wipes or towels again. In this period, pre-folded toilet paper can be used instead of cotton (preferably 3-ply toilet paper, whose quality and softness are trusted).
Changing mat and protective cover: For your baby's comfort, a cushion or mat made suitable for changing the base will be helpful. Babies who experience relief when they are opened may want to urinate or poop again. To control such unwanted contamination, we recommend the use of a yatak mattress protection cover tasarlanmış designed according to the dimensions of the bottom changing mat.
Waste bag or bucket: It is best to have the waste products released during the sub-change at hand.
If your baby's skin barrier does not deteriorate, rash or rash, the diaper may stay longer unless it poops. But if there is poop, it should be cleaned as soon as possible.
Anti-rash or protective creams : See the explanations in this section entitled Rashes.
Preliminary
❖ All materials must be prepared in advance and within easy reach.
❖ Hands should be washed before changing the bottom.
❖ It is very important that the place you are changing is safe for the baby. After a while, babies who have managed to return to themselves, can fall when you leave your eyes for beer. Most of the household accidents are caused by the fall of infants who are left alone for material supply or waste disposal during subchange.
❖ Since at least half of your baby's body will remain naked, care should be taken to clean the floor in a place that is not too hot or cold and does not receive airflow.
Changing the soiled cloth is carried out in 4 steps.
Opening; After the dirty cloth has been removed, grasp the baby's two feet with one hand and squeeze the feet up. With your other hand, remove the baby's diaper by sliding it from top to bottom, and fold it under the baby's butt. Thus, most of the solid stools contaminated with the butt will come into the cloth and may prevent some old cloth cover from being dirty while you clean the butt.
Cleaning; Always do the cleaning from front to back, ie from the top down when the baby is lying, from abdominal level to the butt, especially for the urinary tract health of girls (not to infect the urine of feces). For male babies, you can first clean the perimeter of the anus and then the bottom of the pipette and the area around the testicles by gently lifting the pipette without pulling the pipette from the top downwards. When changing the wiped area, the cotton or paper product you are wiping should be used as little as possible [ie not repeatedly wiped with the same tissue, paper or cotton), but should be changed frequently.
To dry; We should also keep in mind that it is necessary to dry and ventilate well. With soft towels, toilet paper or cotton, it is very important to dry the wiped areas of the baby with gentle touches - without rubbing. If the ambient temperature and time is available, after cleaning the baby's diaper and keeping it open for a minute before closing the diaper, your baby will like it and you can be sure that the diaper is completely dry.
Closing; When tying a new clean diaper, do not squeeze the waist too tightly; it should not be too loose, if the two fingers can easily enter the baby's diaper and belly, this tightness is sufficient. Folding the front of the diaper after changing the diaper in newborns will prevent pressure on the belly that has not yet fallen or has just fallen. After the cloth is tied, you can move your finger around the leg and straighten the folded edges outwards to prevent leakage.
It is important to remember that the hands should be washed again after changing the bottom.
Attention in Male Infants
Most babies, especially male babies, tend to pee with the coolness they feel when the diaper is opened, so you can either loosen the diaper and wait for a little while to make the old diaper, or put a napkin you will have in your vicinity until you clean your diaper. For male infants, the foreskin should never be pulled back during cleaning.
When closing the diaper, directing the baby's pipette downwards may prevent wetness that may reach the navel level.
Attention to Baby Girls
Urinary tract infections in girls are very close to each other because of the urinary stool and urinary tract infections are more common than men. In order to prevent contamination of the feces into the urinary tract, it is very important for girls to wipe from the urinary tract to the anus, ie from the front to the back. In addition, the wiping process should be carried out with a single movement, the dirty cotton / handkerchief should not be used and wiped off in this area. Stool residues between the vagina entrance and the small lips should not be forgotten, this area should be cleaned gently but absolutely.
