Diapers (nappies)
There is more than one choice of diapers for the mother, because
there are many types of diapers and
each mother can find what
suits her. Some mothers use more than one type, such as using
cloth diapers at home and disposable diapers when out and
about with the baby or when travelling.
Types of diapers
Disposable diapers
This type is preferred by many mothers
because they make it
easy and quick for her to change the diaper. They are also
available in all sizes, suited to the baby’s stages of growth.
Cloth diapers
These are diapers that are washed and reused. There are several
types, ranging from the traditional “flat”
diapers made of
towelling fabric that are folded and secured with pins or tape,
then covered with waterproof pants,
to a dazzling array of
“fitted” cloth diapers in various designs and colours. Some
mothers prefer to use a disposable liner inside the diaper as well
Changing the diaper-‐1
• It is better to change the diaper every time the baby has a
bowel
movement
• After cleaning thoroughly, apply Vaseline or a protective cream
to
the area, but do not use perfumed wipes or cortisone creams.
Try not to fasten the diaper too tightly so as to allow some
ventilation.
• Try to leave the baby without the diaper whenever you can
because not exposing this area to
the air may lead to germs
collecting and causing infection.
