Now in stores and pharmacies a large selection of different diapers from many manufacturers. But still the older generation considers it necessary to talk about how to make a gauze diaper, instead of buying diapers. There is an opinion that the skin of a child in diapers is steamed, and it is crowded in them, especially to a boy. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of gauze diapers and diapers?
Do-it- yourself gauze diapers are easy to do
They are primarily environmentally friendly and affordable. In such a diaper, the baby's skin breathes. But it needs to be changed as soon as it gets wet. Such diapers can be washed many times, and they are not afraid of ironing. Of course, there are also disadvantages. Gauze diapers, made with your own hands, can not be fixed, and they loosely grab the baby. They are not moisture resistant, so the crumbs will stain diapers and sliders. If you do not change the diaper on time, the child has diaper rash and redness, which often leads to dermatitis. On the road or on a walk, such a diaper is not always convenient to change. At night, mom will also have to get up more than once. About 10 to 20 pieces of gauze diapers may be needed per day. Wash them with baby powder and iron on both sides. In this case, you can buy ready-made or independently make gauze diapers with your own hands.
Diapers
They are, of course, convenient to use, and the baby remains dry and clean. The child should be in the diaper for no more than six hours.
But in it, the baby’s skin does not breathe, and therefore diaper rash can occur, and in fact for young children the skin is very delicate and sensitive. It is necessary to take good care of the baby and avoid redness. It is strictly forbidden to wash disposable diapers. But thanks to them, mom has more free time for other things or just to relax. Diapers are expensive and, of course, require a significant amount from the family budget. Some babies are very allergic to disposable diapers, and the only way out is to create gauze diapers with their own hands.
How to make diapers
If it so happened that disposable hygiene diapers for some reason are not suitable for your baby, or you are a supporter of environmentally friendly products, then you definitely need to make diapers yourself. And if you do not know how to sew gauze diapers, then this does not matter. Everything is simple:
- You need to take gauze and cut into squares, about 80x80 cm.
- Between two squares of gauze, put a soft absorbent cloth and gently stitch everything together on a sewing machine or sew it by hand.
- Fold the resulting product in half diagonally to get a scarf.
- To put the diaper under the baby’s ass, face down.
- Raise the lower edge up between the legs of the child, and put the right and left edges on top. And connect all the edges with a baby pin.
Further, the baby can be swaddled or put on sliders. Such diapers must be done in advance and put on the changing table. They should always be at hand.
Disposable and gauze diapers are not opponents
Many mothers use diapers for walking, and at home the baby is in gauze diapers. Therefore, using both is a very rational solution. The most important thing is that the baby is comfortable and comfortable. Then he is healthy, plays cheerfully, sleeps well and eats. At night, you can wear a baby diaper. Then mom and baby will sleep peacefully until morning.
