My Huggies Review!

When I labored my baby, he was under nursery care for a week and two days.  As first time parent we were not particular about choosing a diaper.  We don't care which brand he used. After three days of labor I was advised by the doctor that I can go out of the hospital. But, to our dismay the pediatrician's advised was to wait for another three days before the baby could go out of the nursery care because he was under series of test. I was the only person allowed to cuddle my baby inside the nursery room -in a scheduled and limited time. Few days before his going out of the hospital, I've noticed that my baby was always crying and he really cried out loud. The nurse said my baby was one of the babies who cried so loud among the babies in the room. Yet, I didn't mind it.

 The day of his coming home: we were all excited! Yet, it was a very challenging day for me and my husband.  We've noticed that he cried so loud, when we moved his leg a bit  and every time he Poo's or pee. When we changed his diaper, I felt so worried and pity my baby of the pain he felt because of the diaper rash. My sister who was a nurse defined it as "a close to serious diaper rash". That was the first time, I've seen a diaper rash where my babies stratum was wounded, we could even see blood onto his wounds and on the sides of his legs. It was a heart breaking moment. 

We decided then to use cloth diaper to cure his rashes.When the wound was about to get healed, That was the time I knew Huggies. Since, I am new of using it and I was in doubt, that it might worsten my babies diaper rash,  I put a diaper cloth under the diaper before putting it on. Nevertheless, time came that I got tired of putting cloth onto the diaper. I took the risk of using the diaper without cloth. Also, I Put petroleum jelly on my babies buttocks and side legs. I noticed that my baby's rash didn't get worse and finally it got healed.

I was wondering what's with this Huggies? When I looked at it and I've evaluated the material. Huggies was made of cotton which was soft as a soft cloth that gave comfort to babies skin, even when they Pee or Poo. Though, it  was a bit expensive than many diapers in the market, I just forced myself to forget the price, as long as my baby won't suffer from diaper rash anymore! It was the experienced that I don't want him to feel again.


Is it important to visit your pedia monthly ?

From my personal experience yes! When I stopped seeing my doctor after my baby turned 4 months old. I didn't notice that his weight was not increasing as it should have been, so with his height. Most of my friends and relatives said my baby seemed to be smaller than his age. I realized, they were right when he reached 11 months. Even if his not sick, I decided to bring him to his pedia. I was disappointed of myself becuase my baby was only 8kls. yet he must be 11ks. The doctor checked his height, weight and the diameter of his head. We found out that his physical development was lower than average of his age bracket. The doctor advised was to give him milk that has calories like progress and pediasure.
