Disposable baby diapers have a huge business potential in the United States. This is because most of the parents find baby diapers more convenient as compared to cloth diapers. Other than this, you are not required to wash a disposable diaper.
Disposable diapers were introduced in 1940s, but became popular only gradually. This is because they were expensive in the beginning and not many people could afford to buy them. In addition, early diapers came only in single size and did not fit most of the babies. Therefore, the leakage was more profuse in disposable diapers than cloth diapers. However, disposable diapers started appearing in multiple sizes and designs in 1950's, but they were more popular with rich class. But, with the fall in the prices of disposable diapers in 70's, even middle-class people could afford to buy them. One of the prime reasons to opt for disposable diapers was, and still is - the convenience.
Soon, disposable diapers became light-weighted. Also, they were being manufactured in various sizes and designs. Along with it came diaper rash, which worsens with regular use of diapers. You can easily notice the diaper rash on your child's bottom. However, this rash starts appearing with blisters if the situation becomes worse for the child. Remember, diaper rash is a normal thing, and occurs in almost all the babies, who wear diapers at one point or the other. The child may develop diaper rash due to sensitivity to certain brands or bacterial infection. The baby is also likely to develop rash if the soiled diaper is not removed for a long.
If you want to effectively treat the diaper rash, you must try to keep your baby dry by changing her diapers often. If you clean the area, let it completely dry before you put the diaper rash ointment. It is advisable to use warm, soapy water to clean your baby than using baby wipes. Extra care needs to be taken when you take your baby outside of the house. Remember to frequently check the diaper, and change it if required. You must systematically arrange baby's diaper bag while going out. A diaper bag must be large enough to accommodate all essential items, such as diapers, wipes, clothes, ointment, soothers, blankets, formula milk, bottles, talcum, water bottles, and medicines. However, you can choose to have two different-sized diaper bags to suit different occasions.
In fact baby diapers and diaper bags make great gifts for various occasions, including baby shower and birthday parties. Disposable diapers though don't make great gifts but are certainly useful for parents. However, it makes sense to know the brand preferred by an expectant mother. While gifting a baby diaper bag to an expectant mother, remember to check its size and number of pockets. Most of the bags have plastic travel cases for wipes.
