nappies: they say disposable can make babys skin around the bottom dark. true?

Question

they say constant use of disposable diapers make the babies bikini area and bottom area dark when he or she gets old.. is this true?

Answer 1

no you don't have to worry about it.

Answer 2

I have been doing daycare for 5 years now and I have never seen the babies bikini area or bottom turn dark.

Answer 3

I don't know if that is true, but most disposable diapers are full of harsh chemicals that are not good for skin.
Not to mention the toll on the environment!
It is worthwhile to consider cloth diapers, they are much easier and nicer than they used to be!

Answer 4

It isn't true. It's up to you which you use, but I do know that most daycare centers (if you will be using one) do require that the baby be in disposable diapers.

Answer 5

Absolutely not true. My son is 23, and I used disposables, and he is perfectly normal with no skin discolorations at all.

Answer 6

i use disoosable nappies on my 10 month old and have not noticed any change in his skin,nor have i heard any other mum's mention it so i would not be too concerned. You could always try cloth nappies if you are really worried.

Answer 7

It can make it dark even now, the plastic can cause sort of a burn. What you need to do is change it often, clean well, and then use baby cream and baby powder.

Answer 8

What absolute nonsense!!!! I have only ever used disposable nappies on my children and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them!!!!

Answer 9

i know somone that uses disposables every day and she has no problems and she changes them regally to me it sounds like a wise tale

Answer 10

yes its very true u should use some moisturizers to prevent that from happeneing

Answer 11

no unless maybe you did not change them when you should then it would be dark red from a rash
