Improper use of diapers can lead to various skin conditions for babies, such as diaper rash, sores, dermatitis, or even more serious urinary tract infections. This article aims to guide parents on selecting the “suitable” and safe diapers for their children, minimizing potential complications that may arise from improper diaper usage.
Using diapers for their intended purpose
- In infants, the frequency of needing to go to the bathroom is much higher than in adults and because they are too young to be proactive in this matter, this is precisely why babies need to use diapers.
- During the first 6 months after birth, babies urinate numerous times, sometimes up to 15 to 20 times a day, as they are exclusively breastfed. At this stage, mothers should dress their babies in loose, airy clothing. Using diapers with high absorbency allows babies to feel comfortable and dry even after wetting the diaper. While using diapers, parents should check every 2 hours. If the baby has soiled the diaper, it should be changed immediately, ensuring proper cleanliness for the baby, drying and putting on a new diaper.
- If the mother is still on maternity leave and has ample time to care for the baby, using diapers might not be necessary for the first 2 months. Instead, mothers can use moderately thick pads for newborns. When the baby urinates or defecates, mothers can change to another pad to ensure hygiene.
- If parents are concerned about whether their baby is too small to use diapers, they can consider brands like Jo Viet Sing. Jo offer a wide range of products with different sizes: pads for newborns, Jo Rubicon tape diapers, Jo 3s plus pants diapers, Jo Economy pants diapers in sizes ranging from S, M, L, XL and XXL suitable for babies from 0 to 4 years old based on weight.
Using diapers “properly”
According to opinions from some newborn care experts and dermatologists, selecting diapers for newborns should meet the following criteria:
- Diapers with breathable fabric-like back sheets, not excessively thick, with soft, leak-guard sides are most suitable for the sensitive skin of babies.
- Choose diapers that fit the baby’s weight.

Understanding the strict quality requirements for infant and toddler products alongside the ethical responsibility as healthcare professionals, Viet Sing Company has, after years of research and testing, developed a line of Diaper Pants. For over 8 years, the Jo brand has been accompanying millions of diaper-wearing moms and their beloved babies, right from the very first moment a baby cries out into the world.
