Size selection and elasticity adjustment: Choose the appropriate size based on the weight of the baby. The waist circumference of the diaper should be level with the navel, and the lower back should completely wrap around the buttocks. The tightness should be sufficient to insert one finger. If it is too tight, it may pinch the skin or affect the development of the hip joint. If it is too loose, it can easily lead to lateral leakage. The waist patch should be symmetrically applied to avoid pulling on one side. ‌

Wearing and leak proof treatment: When wearing, align the back of the diaper with the waist and pull the front to about two fingers wide below the navel. Unfold the three-dimensional leak proof barrier on both sides and ensure it is upright. The leak proof edge on the inner thigh should be gently pulled outward and tightly adhered to the skin folds. When the umbilical cord of a newborn has not fallen off, the front end of the diaper should be folded down to expose the navel. ‌

Cleaning and skin care: Before changing, clean the buttocks and folds with warm water or baby wipes, gently avoiding friction. After cleaning, wait for the skin to completely dry before wearing. You can apply a buttock cream containing zinc oxide to prevent diaper rash, but avoid using talcum powder or alcoholic products. Short periods of time without wearing diapers can be arranged daily to allow the skin to breathe. ‌

Timing and frequency of replacement: Newborns should be replaced every 2-3 hours and immediately after defecation. Determine the replacement time based on the color change of the urine display strip. If the color change exceeds two-thirds or the color area expands, it should be replaced in a timely manner. Continuous use at night should not exceed 6 hours, and the replacement interval should be shortened during summer or diarrhea.

Allergy observation and material selection: When using the new brand for the first time, a small area of the inner leg can be observed for 2 hours. If allergic reactions such as rash and peeling occur, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Priority should be given to low sensitivity materials without fragrances or fluorescent agents, and ultra soft styles can be chosen for premature infants or sensitive skin. ‌
