Are Newborn Diapers Safe for the Tender Skin of Babies?

Parents often find themselves in a dilemma about whether they should choose baby nappy pads over disposable diapers. Well, cloth nappies do keep the child’s skin subjected to air passage, enabling it to breathe. But on the flipside, there are a number of advantages when one uses disposable diapers for their baby.

A baby changing mat is far handier when compared to a nappy changing table. A changing mat provides the convenience factor to the parent that a changing table cannot. The parent doesn’t need to rush to the nursery every time their baby needs a diaper change. Changing mats are portable, and can be carried while on the go along with diapers/nappies making it easier for a parent to manage a messy situation while outside.

Even the most attentive parents find themselves in a fix when the changing pad appears to be dirty even after it is thoroughly cleaned after every use. When such instances occur, it is advised to remove the mat’s protective covering and wipe it using disinfectants and soapy water. Thereafter, use a wiping fabric dipped in a solution of bleach and water to clean the changing mat. Leave the changing mat overnight to dry and replace the covering in case the same has lost its efficiency.
