JAKARTA - For parents who have just welcomed the birth of their little one, it is certainly not an exaggeration to say that diapers are a primary need that must be met. In the early first 6 months, there are a number of things to pay attention to, especially thin skin that is still adapting to new conditions so it tends to be sensitive and has a high risk of skin rashes.
At this time, diapers play an important role to accompany and provide comfort for both the little one and the parents. And here are tips on choosing the right diaper for your little one's needs in the first 6 months:
1. Diapers with high absorption and large capacity
The use of diapers is key in baby skin care. The frequency of urination and defecation in infants at the age of 0-6 months is quite intense in a day, between 6-12 times. This increases the likelihood that your skin will come into direct contact with germ-laden feces, so you should change your diaper, ideally every 2-3 hours.
Choose diapers that have high absorption and sufficient capacity to avoid the risk of diaper rash. Diaper rash can cause itching, irritation and even fever. If the rash does not improve within 2 days, contact your doctor immediately.
2. Soft material
In general, babies' skin is very thin and sensitive. The protective layer of baby's skin is still immature and very fragile, so it needs to be protected and strengthened. The skin of babies under 2 years also tends to be dry, so it needs to be kept moist from birth. Therefore, make sure to choose a diaper that is made of soft material so that it can adjust to the baby's sensitive skin condition and reduce friction that can cause skin irritation or rashes.
3. Thin
Even though they still don't move much, babies still need diapers that can support their comfort at all times. Thin diapers with models that follow the body posture can help the growth process of your little one.
Jason Lee, CEO of MAKUKU Indonesia, said, "MAKUKU understands that the First 1,000 Days of Life is an important period for baby's growth and development and it fully supports it through innovations based on the needs of mothers and babies from newborns to toddlers.
"MAKUKU comes with MAKUKU Air Diapers Slim which can answer the needs of mothers in choosing diapers for their little ones, namely with a SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer) structure core that is able to absorb better, capacity up to 600 ml, soft, thin material with 1.6 mm as well as elastic waist and 3D structure," Jason said in his statement, quoted on Sunday, July 24.
SAP is a hydrophilic polymer that has the ability to absorb liquids up to more than 100 times its own weight. The core of the SAP structure in MAKUKU Air Diapers Slim is able to absorb liquids more optimally and lock them in the material until it becomes solid inside so it doesn't expand outward. The liquid will be fully absorbed so that the diaper is not damp, the baby's skin remains dry, and avoids the risk of diaper rash.
Another outstanding feature of MAKUKU Air Diapers Slim is that it has a thickness of 1.6 mm which makes it the thinnest diaper compared to other diapers on the market, a 3D structure that reduces direct contact with the skin, an air cavity surface that allows two-way circulation, and an elastic waist that is flexible and follows baby posture.
"We hope that with the innovation and core technology of the SAP structure, MAKUKU can become a reliable partner for parents in providing the best for their little ones and helping parents deal with various adjustments, especially in the first 6 months phase with their little ones," concluded Jason Lee.
