A. Hello can we use right after birth no such time gap You can use any good brand diaper like pampers either taped or pants. Avoid all day long use If rashes appear Avoid using diapers till rashes heal completely. Giving diaper free time in between the usage of diapers is a must to prevent occurrence of rashes. Use the right sized diaper that is as per baby weight. Change diapers every three to four hours and immediately if soiled by poop Apply some coconut oil or any diaper rash cream like himalaya or ezinapi on the rashes and leave it open to air. Try using cotton nappies sometimes as cotton is a skin friendly , breathable material and lessens the chances of rashes as it has to be changed immediately. Avoid too much rubbing the delicate skin with wet wipes or cloth and try to wash area often with water and pat dry after every poop Before putting on diapers ensure that the area is completely dry. If wet first pat dry.

A. Diapers can be used for babies during day and night. But take few precautions to avoid rashes or infection. First of all, maintain good hygiene by cleaning the area properly with soft cotton wool dipped on water instead of wipes, change the diaper after four to five hours or when soiled by potty immediately, never wear diaper on wet bottom, let the skin dry first and then Apply cream like Vaseline before wearing diaper, if rash is there then appky ezinapi cream and let the rash heal. Give diaper free time intermittently for one or two hours

A. Good branded diapers are always safe use. Ensure you don't use 24/7. Give some free time everyday for about 2-4 hours. This will ensure that baby will get some good air circulation. Else it may lead to infections and other urninary infections. Also ensure to use right size or the next size to stay free from rashes.
