Use of safety pins, Diaper liners and Protective pants

One must take exercise care when you put in the pin. Slip two fingers of your hand between the nappy and the baby’s skin so that the pin does not prick him. Also see that you buy good quality pins, the ones which do not open on their own. Also ensure that the sharp end of the safety pin is away from the infant’s body. All these precautions will help you to prevent accidental hurt to the baby. Diaper liners are of special help during traveling. The paper or treated cloth-made, if available, are certainly of help in protecting the nappy from getting wet. These are placed between baby’s skin and the nappy. There is no truth in the saying that these may harm the baby. Protective pants again are of very special help when you are traveling with the baby. They should not be too tight, should not be used in the presence of nappy rash, should be replaced frequently and should be sterilized in the same way as nappies. These pants are waterproof, made of either rubber or plastic and so it is better if the protective pants are not used when you are not traveling out with your baby.
