Diapers: Pros and Cons
Progress makes our life easier. And now, today's young mothers enjoy using one of the most popular achievements of progress - pampers. In general, Pampers is the name of a brand,under which disposable diapers are issued and in translation from English means "pampering." The first disposable diapers were developed in the 50s of the XX century by the British company Procter & Gamble. They are called "Pampers". Now the products of this trademark has become so widespread that the word "diapers" has already become a household name and is now identical to the concept of "disposable diapers".
With the advent of diapers, the world was divided into their supporters and opponents. Both of them lead a lot of arguments both for and against using diapers.
The main argument "for" - this, of course, ease of usedisposable diapers for parents themselves. If earlier a lot of time and energy left to wash the children's diapers, then thanks to a disposable diaper this problem was solved. After use, the diaper is simply thrown into the trash.
Thanks to a disposable diaper with a babyquietly you can go out for a walk on the street, go to visit, go on a trip. After all, even if the child "does his business" in a diaper, then the parents have time either to take him home and there to change, either while visiting or traveling, to change the baby's diaper, and the clothes remain dry and clean at the same time.
Opponents of diapers argue their position, firstly, by the fact thatA disposable diaper can harm a baby. Not allowing the baby's skin to breathe freely, such a diaper provokes the development of diaper rash and irritation. The shape of the diapers hinders the proper development of the child's hip joint. A disposable diaper prevents a child from developing the skills of using a pot. Finally, opponents of diapers assure young mothers that wearing disposable diapers increases the risk of infertility in boys in the future, and girls have a risk of developing gynecological infections.
How true are these statements?
"Scarecrow" about infertility in boys, who wear diapers, probably one of the mostknown. Explain it by the fact that in the diaper the temperature of the child's body rises, this leads to overheating of the genital organs of the boy and causes a decrease in the activity of spermatozoa. However, at the age at which boys wear diapers, the activity of their reproductive system is not yet activated! In addition, it has been established by scientific research that the temperature inside the diaper is only 1 degree higher than the temperature inside the reusable diaper. Such an increase has virtually no effect.
A disposable diaper can provoke skin irritation to the baby in two cases. Either the diaper is made poorly, or notthe conditions of its use are observed. After all, even a reusable gauze diaper can cause diaper rash if it is not replaced in time. Modern diapers are made with a cotton pad that does not irritate the baby's skin. If the diaper does not overstrain, and change as soon as it becomes wet, the baby will feel dry.
Some children may be allergic tocertain diapers. But this is, rather, the result of exposure to various fragrances that can be contained in the diaper than the diaper per se. Going to another brand of diapers, without perfume, usually solves this problem.
Can the diaper cause leg curvature?child? If the diaper size is selected correctly, the position of the child's legs when wearing this diaper, on the contrary, promotes the correct development of the child's hip joints.
Influence of diapers on formation of pot ownership the child is not exactly established. Approximately at the age of 22 to 30 months the child is already physically and psychologically ready for mastering the pot. But if the child is always in the diaper, without interruptions, then the parents can skip the right moment to start learning. That is why it is recommended to gradually reduce the time of wearing diapers from a certain age, for example, to wear them only for walks, trips to guests, long trips. At home, it is more often to do without a diaper. With this approach, the diaper does not have a particular effect on the child's training in the pot.
Separately, it should be said about those cases in which wearing a diaper is not recommended. When a child has diarrhea, high fever, then it is best not to wear diapers. Also, you should use diapers a little less in very hot weather.
Pampers should be selected strictly by weight, height and sexYour child, change them regularly. Then they will not harm the child, and my mother will be allowed to spend her time not on endless washing and ironing, but on communication with the child.
