A Guide To Using Newborn Nappies
When you've just brought a new baby home, there are a lot of worries that can hit you all at once and that includes what kind of nappy to use. The subject about newborn nappies is actually a lot larger than you may think but don't worry, we'll cover and answer questions as best as we can to make life easier for you.
How Many Nappies Does A Newborn Use A Day?
It varies from baby to baby. You may use as many as 10 nappies a day as few as 4, it depends on your baby. Sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on their little systems and how much they eat. You never want to leave a baby sitting in a wet or soiled nappy because this could lead to skin irritations, however you don't have to change a nappy (especially if it's dry) just because a certain amount of time has passed.

Typically a newborn goes through 8 to 12 nappies a day for the first six weeks, this then decreases to around 6 to 8 until 6 to 9 months after it can go down to 4 or 5 newborn nappies a day.
How To Choose A Right Nappy For Your Newborn?
If you are going to use cloth nappies, there is a one size fits all. However, if you want to use disposables, you should check if it fits your baby and pay attention to the legs. If your baby has larger legs, he or she may need a larger size to accommodate this. Your baby's comfort is also important so check the material the nappy is made of. Cloth-like material is more comfortable than plastic type coverings. If your baby has a sensitive skin, check the characteristic of the nappy. Choose newborn nappies that are hypoallergenic and chlorine-free, and that don't contain fragrance or latex.
Newborn nappies are also available at varying prices. Purchase by volume of bulk that will last a certain period of time because it is more cost efficient. It is also recommended to have a nappy that has wetness indicators. You don't have to wait until our baby cries before you change their nappies. Know the right time to change with a wetness indicator.
How To Prevent Nappy Rash?
You don't need a cream or powder to prevent nappy rash. If you let this air dry then you won't need a nappy rash cream because it won't get nappy rash most likely. If your baby already has nappy rash, leave the baby's nappy off for about an hour a few times a day. It also helps to change the baby's nappy often. When the rash is at its worst, it may be necessary to change the nappy up to 12 times a day and dry the baby's bottom carefully after each change or call your baby's doctor right away.
So, new parents can use these tips and ideas about newborn nappies. If you follow your mothering instincts and take what advice is most suitable for your baby, then your baby will sleep more soundly without getting any problems from wearing nappies.
