Why my diaper keeps shifting! What to do when your diaper is half-assed

My fourth daughter, now 2 months old, was born small and currently weighs about 4500 grams.

I am currently using size S tape-type diapers, but for the first time with my fourth child, the diaper slips off every time. Every time I notice it, her bottom is half-assed and her back is soaked.

Poop also leaks from his back and gets on his underwear, which is hard to get off and causes more laundry. I think it’s disgusting, so I would like to introduce a solution to the problem of half-assed diapers for babies.

Reasons why a baby’s (newborn’s) diaper is out of place

(1) Diapers are not the right size or do not fit the body shape.

One of the causes of diaper shifting is that the diaper is not the right size in the first place. It is best to buy diapers based on the baby’s age and the age of the baby.

If the elastic leaves marks on the waist or thighs, or if they turn red, it is a good indication of when to go up a size.

Check two things: whether the waist can fit two fingers and whether the navel is visible.

(2) Because the baby is moving well.

Babies only like to flap their legs.

If the baby moves too vigorously, the diaper will slip off.

(3) Diapers do not fit the way they are worn.

The tape is fastened at the point where the belly is bulging, so while you are wriggling your legs or carrying the baby, it becomes waist-panty and half-assed.

Tips on how to wear a diaper that does not slip off easily

By fastening the tape in an inverted “C” shape, the diaper can be worn in a way that it does not shift easily.

It is recommended that the tape be placed close to the base of the legs, where the diaper is most constricted. This will make the diaper fit better and prevent it from slipping down.

How to Check Diaper Wear

If you want to check how well the diaper is on, check when the baby’s legs are stretched out.

Check that two fingers can be inserted at the waist and that the belly button is not visible.

summary

Babies grow so fast that before you know it, they’re all chubby.

When the diapers we buy run out of size in the middle of the day, we tend to use them until the very last minute, thinking we can still use them, but the diapers are too tight and the buttocks are half-assed.

But I would rather have a quick change and be able to spend a comfortable time with my baby than to have to go through the hassle of multiple changes because the diapers end up leaking.
