Parenthood comes with many challenges and one of them has to be taking care of the hygiene of your little baby. When you welcome your newborn into the world, hygiene is one of the major factors that contribute to the well-being of your child. You will find a zillion of baby essential products in the market that are must-haves for daily use. And there is one specific product no mother can do without which is diapers for babies. 

Diapers are truly an essential part of your baby’s initial years. They not only help the babies to stay clean and dry but also eliminate the hassle of cleaning up every now and then for the mothers. An uninterrupted sleep for babies is truly important for their growth and well-being which is often bothered when you use cloth diapers. Besides, when you take your baby out on a stroll or even a tour, diapers are a must have. Also during winters, diapers come really handy as you won’t have to clean your baby using water. All you have to do is just remove and throw.

Here are a few tips on using the diapers right –

• When you buy diapers online in India, you will mainly find two variants, the one that come with adhesive, i.e. a tape style diaper and the one with a pant style. What we recommend to you is to always go for the pant styles as they are super convenient in terms of use and at the same time take care of your baby’s skin effectively. With these diapers, all you need is to pull it up and you are done. When you remove it, just tear the corners and discard. It is as simple as it sounds. These diapers also come with a higher absorbency but, you need to keep a check for stools.
  
  
• Diapering and cleaning up techniques are different for a male and a female child. So, make sure you are cleaning your child's right. For a girl child, always remember to clean from front to the back using a baby wipe, cotton balls or washcloths and then put the diaper on. Do not ever wipe from back to front which further spreads the bacteria that causes UTI. For a boy, remember to cover the penis with an unused diaper and then wipe the rest part before you put a fresh diaper on.
  
  
• If you are learning how to diaper your newborn then you have a lot of learning coming your way. The best newborn diapers will be again the pant style ones. Size plays an important role in keeping your newborn comfortable. The pant style diapers come in different sizes including newborns as well. Use the ones that come with a navel navel care shape which prevents the diaper to come in touch with the navel area, has stretchable thigh support with gentle elastics and has a higher absorbency. When you change the diaper, make sure you use gentle baby cleaning wipes and have a clean towel handy.
  
  
• For all babies in general, make sure you put a fresh diaper on before they crash at night. This will last the entire night without you having to wake up and check every now and then. Also, a fresh diaper at night will absorb better keeping your baby dry and comfortable through the entire night without interrupting their sleep.
  
  
• Always remember to keep a check on your baby’s diaper size. The size you have picked for your newborn may not be as comfortable to them a month later as it is now. Hence, if you are a parent who likes stashing up on essentials, make sure you know your baby’s growth span well before you splurge on diapers well in advance. If your baby grows out of his/her regular diaper size faster than expected, do not ever try to squeeze them in because you have a bunch of unused diapers left as this will only make them cranky.

Diapers come in different price ranges in India; hence you will find so many low price baby diapers that fit your budget.
