Rishah Chaurasia/Lucknow: In today’s era, diapers have become the first choice of every parent. Especially when it comes to protecting children from wetness. Be it the time of leaving the house, any function or just giving the babies a good night’s sleep, diapers have become a special place for themselves.
However, every coin has two sides and using diapers is no exception to this. Despite the countless benefits of diapers, they also have some negative effects, which can take a toll on children’s health.

Diapers hurt the baby
Diapers are made of chemical and synthetic materials and wearing them for a long time causes harm to the child. In such a situation, the chemical substances found in it penetrate the body through the child’s delicate skin and cause toxicity, while the material used to make the diaper helps absorb the child’s urine. But this material also prevents air from entering the baby’s diaper, as a result of which bacteria and germs begin to grow in the diaper and the baby risks infection. Therefore, keep changing the baby’s diaper often.
Rashes and blisters may occur
Children’s skin is very sensitive. Prolonged stay in a wet and dirty diaper causes the growth of bacteria in the diaper, which can cause rashes and blisters on the skin. In such a situation, to protect the child from rashes, continue to change the child’s diaper from time to time and also take care of his cleanliness.
Do not keep in a diaper for 24 hours
According to Dr. Sanjay Niranjan, the use of diapers is mainly suitable for small children. Because newborn babies pass feces and urine several times a day. If the diaper gets wet or starts to fill, it should be changed immediately. Do not wait until you urinate two or three times. After the potty, immediately change the diaper and clean the child’s stool and urine area with wet cotton from front to back. Before wearing a diaper, do not forget to use oil or moisturizer. However, do not keep the child in a diaper for 24 hours.
