According to the child specialist, this claim is completely wrong. Wearing a diaper does not have any effect on the child’s kidneys. The job of a diaper is only to absorb the child’s toilet so that the child does not suffer from wetness. Kidney is inside the body and its job is to filter blood. Therefore, diapers do not cause any harm to the kidneys.

If the child continues to wear a wet diaper for a long time, his skin may develop rashes, itching or infection. Bacteria start growing in a wet diaper, which can reach the child’s urinary tract. Sometimes these bacteria cause UTI. Although UTI also gets cured in most of the cases, it does not become a serious problem like kidney failure. Therefore it is important that the diaper be changed on time.

Experts recommend that the diaper should be changed every 3 to 4 hours during the day, even if it does not look very wet. If the child poops, change the diaper immediately, because dirt increases the risk of infection. Maintaining cleanliness is most important for the health of the child.

After changing the diaper, clean the baby’s skin with baby wipes or lukewarm water. After this, leave the skin open for a few seconds so that it dries. If needed, you can apply light baby cream or rash cream so that the skin remains soft and protected.

For the baby’s sleep and comfort, it is important that he is dressed in a fresh diaper at night. The child sleeps for a long time at night, so a wet diaper can cause discomfort or skin infection. With a fresh diaper, the child will be able to sleep peacefully and the skin will also remain healthy.

Do not make the child wear a diaper for a few hours a day. This gives the child’s skin a chance to breathe and reduces the chances of skin rashes. You can keep the baby in cotton clothes or nappy so that he can move comfortably.

Nowadays, cloth diapers or organic cotton diapers are also available in the market. These are reusable, better for the environment and remain soft on the baby’s skin. If you want to avoid chemical diapers, then this is a good option.
