Baby red butt

Should baby use diapers in summer? Choose what kind of diaper for baby is not easy cause red butt?

Red butt, also called diaper rash. The typical symptoms of diaper rash are redness and edema of the skin on the buttocks of the baby in contact with the diaper. In severe cases, the baby will also have skin ulcers and infections, and a slight external force or friction will cause damage. Diaper rash is a common skin disease in newborns, generally occurring in babies within 1 year of age. This is because the baby's skin at this stage is more delicate, the thickness is only 1/10 of the adult skin, and it is easy to be damaged when it is rubbed. In addition, the function of the baby’s immune system has not yet developed, the resistance is weak, and it is easy to be allergic when stimulated.

Diaper rash is often caused by parents not doing a good job of caring for their baby’s butts.

1. Diapers are not changed in time, resulting in long-term contact between urine and feces and the baby's butts, and the skin has been in a humid environment, while the bacteria in the baby's urine and feces combine to decompose into irritating ammonia. Therefore, be sure to change your baby's diapers frequently. The baby who urinates at night must choose diapers with relatively large absorption.

2. Friction. On the one hand, because the diapers themselves are rough and rub the skin, parents should choose soft material diapers. On the other hand, parents are not gentle when cleaning their babies' butts. The correct way to care for the baby's butts should be: parents clean the baby's butts with warm water and clean gently, and dry it with a clean cotton towel after washing, and let it dry for a while until the water is completely dry before giving the baby a new diaper. You can also apply a little butt cream to your baby after cleaning to add a protective film to your baby's butts.

Diaper rash and diapers are also somewhat related. This comes to the absorption and air permeability of diapers. In general, the faster the absorption of urine, the more absorption, the better the absorption of diapers, the shorter the contact time between the baby's butt and urine, and the drier the butt is. The air permeability of diapers, especially in summer, is really very important! The baby's body temperature is high, the skin heat dissipation ability is weak, if the diaper is too heavy, the baby's butts is easy to sweat and stuffy, it is easy to lead to red butt.
