In the parenting life, when the child is born, many mothers will not hesitate to hoard diapers for the baby.
But many times, in dealing with the problem of children's defecation, there will also be some disputes between young parents and the elderly, because in the eyes of many elderly people, it is far better to use diapers directly for children.
There are two main reasons why the elderly are keen to use diapers, one is that they feel that diapers are not wet and too expensive, and the cost performance is not high, and the other is that they think that diapers are not wet and hot and breathable, rather than spending money to let children suffocate red butts, it is better to be diligent and fast, and change the diaper strips several times.
In fact, in the past, when material conditions were relatively scarce, the elderly had many so-called "tricks" in using diapers for children, of which "sand diapers" were an example.
After the baby was born, netizens posted the "sand diaper" of the 70s, is this ignorance or a clever trick?
Not long ago, I brushed up on the Internet and saw several photos of babies changing diapers.
Unlike regular diapers or diaper strips, this baby's little butt is covered with a sandbag in addition to the diaper.
Through the photo, you can see that the sandbag contains fine yellow sand, although separated by a diaper, but the yellow sand will still touch the baby's skin.
This practice makes many netizens wonder: why put sand under a good diaper? Is this hygienic for your baby?
In fact, this situation was not uncommon in rural areas many years ago, and the purpose of this is to allow children's urine to seep into the sand, keep the skin dry, and also facilitate adults to clean up and hygiene, which is the best of both worlds.
As for whether it is hygienic, some people have explained that in the past, the pollution was not serious, and the sand was also fried in a small pot and then used for children, so it generally did not cause harm to children.
So are the little tricks of parenting in the past practical in the eyes of contemporary parents?
Obviously, the vast majority of young parents today not only do not follow the old tradition, but also are very opposed to this, when they see that some parents are now giving their children "sand diapers", everyone reacts very unanimously:
"Completely unacceptable, no matter how clean the sand will hide a lot of bacteria, the baby is young and has poor resistance, and direct contact with the skin by the sand is likely to cause infection."
"My grandmother used this kind of diaper for my mother before, mainly to save money and trouble, and now that everyone's living conditions are good, there is no need to use this method for children anymore."
" Not a clever trick is ignorance, I reject all the diaper strips, only use diapers not wet, children's red butts and diapers are not related, only related to the habit of adults with babies."
Is it better to handle your child's bowels and diapers, and the diapers are not wet?
Before the diaper is not widely listed, parents in the treatment of children's defecation, are using diapers, the benefits of diapers are obvious, economical, breathability is also good, the most obvious deficiency is because of repeated use, making adults clean and dry very hard.
With the development of the times, disposable diapers have been welcomed by more and more people, there are many kinds of diapers on the market, due to the different effects of different materials, high-quality diapers are not only convenient to use, breathability is good, and will not let the baby stuffy red ass.
However, there are also some low-cost inferior diapers that are not wet, and due to poor quality, they lead to sweltering rashes in children, and even lead to inflammation of the baby's private parts.
Therefore, diapers and diapers have their own benefits, and when buying diapers, mothers must choose regular channels to buy brand diapers.
In the new era, is "sand diaper" still suitable for babies?
The answer is obviously no, although the "sand diaper" has become a coaxing artifact for some parents in the past, but no matter how the sand is purified, this way of direct contact with the baby's skin is very risky for the child's health, once the sand accidentally enters the baby's body, it is easy to cause infection.
Secondly, the sand bag is tied to the baby's waist through a rope, which will increase the child's body weight, reduce the child's comfort, and it will be very inconvenient for parents to hold the child.
Finally, although cost savings are necessary for some families, parents should not neglect their children's health in order to pursue cost performance.
