The harm of wearing diapers for a long time in baby girls

Diapers are not a new word for families with newborn babies, but do mothers know why they should wear diapers for babies and what are the dangers of not wearing diapers? In short, diapers reduce the time and energy parents spend managing their children at night. But diapers will also have a certain impact on children. So what are the dangers of baby girls wearing diapers for a long time? Please see the following introduction.

Disadvantages of premature urination

In every family there is someone who considers herself an experienced parent - the child's grandmother. Grandmas like to use the excuse of “That’s how I raised my children back then” to convince mothers to accept their parenting ideas. For example, many grandmothers would say that diapers will cause children to have O-shaped legs or X-shaped legs. I used to hold my children in diapers from the moment they were born, and their legs all turned out well. However, is this really the case?

It is unscientific to say that diapers affect children's genital development. Many countries have used it for decades without finding similar problems. On the contrary, the traditional method of "holding the baby to urinate" or "holding the baby to defecate" can easily cause rectal prolapse in infants. The incidence of hemorrhoids is related to the practice of "holding the baby to urinate" or "holding the baby to defecate" in childhood.

Using diapers for children is not to save trouble for adults, but to avoid causing adverse stimulation to children. When the child feels uncomfortable when urinating or defecating in diapers after the age of 2, parents should take advantage of the situation and teach the child to use the toilet, so that the child can form a relationship between defecation and the toilet and establish normal bowel habits.

The harm of holding the child to urinate is not only physical. In many cases, if the child does not urinate, the adult will continue to hold the child. In order to shorten the process, the child will instinctively try to urinate. This causes potential psychological and character damage to the child, which we cannot detect at the time.

Therefore, both physically and psychologically, it is recommended that mothers do not change their babies' diaper function too early.

The dangers of wearing open-crotch pants

Some mothers think that wearing diapers makes the baby's butt feel stuffy, and using diapers requires constant changing and washing, which is very troublesome. So we simply open the crotch of the baby's pants to make them ventilated and breathable and easier for defecation. But do you know the dangers of open-crotch pants?

Babies have delicate skin and like to play on the ground, crawling or sitting. Without the protection of clothes, bacteria, dust and other dirt can easily invade the anus and urethra. In addition, babies like to bite their fingers. This behavior can easily bring urine and feces on their hands into the digestive tract, causing digestive and respiratory diseases in babies, such as hand, foot and mouth disease and diarrhea.

The baby's genitals are one of the most vulnerable parts of the body and are also the most vulnerable to injury. When the baby wears open-crotch pants, the buttocks and genitals are exposed. Without the protection of clothes or diapers, the baby's genitals and penis may be injured by external objects such as bumps, collisions, punctures, pinches, burns, and rubbing.

Some parents are accustomed to letting their children urinate and defecate anywhere. This habit of urinating and defecating anywhere is not conducive to the development of children's bowel habits.

Little boys’ genitals are often played with by adults, who call it “teasing children” or “loving children”. As parents, it is our responsibility to protect our children from any harm. I am afraid no one can guarantee that there are no people with ulterior motives among those smiling acquaintances and strangers.
