Crying is a baby's instinctive reaction, and babies often express their needs via crying. There are two main reasons for baby's crying, one is a normal physiological reaction, which is called non-pathological crying; the other one is caused by disease, called pathological crying.
Reasons for Non-pathological Crying
Multiple factors may lead to non-pathological crying, such as the baby feels hungry or thirsty; the diaper gets wet; the baby wants to sleep, etc. It is relatively easy to distinguish such a situation. Generally, when the baby's needs are met, the crying will stop, and the duration of crying will not exceed half an hour. Specifically, the reasons for non-pathological crying are listed as follows.
(1) Hunger
This kind of crying is mostly before breastfeeding, the baby cries mostly for a long time and shows impatience, his/her head keeps tilting to the sides looking for something, and mouth makes sucking movements. If the mother picks up the baby at this time, he/she will arch the head towards the mother's chest.
(2) Thirst
Babies with hoarse cries and dry-looking lips and mouths mostly occur after excessive sweating in the summer, dry outdoors in autumn, and after sweating due to excessive clothing in winter.
(3) Coldness
The baby's face is slightly pale, the body is curled up, and likes to shrink to a warm place when he/she cries.
(4) Heat
The baby's face is flushed, there is a lot of sweat on the forehead or in the blanket, and the palms of the hands and feet may become cool because of a lot of sweating.
(5) Sleepiness or Tiredness
When babies are sleepy or tired, their cries are low without tears, and they do not move their hands and feet as much as usual and close their eyes from time to time. Some babies have their own sleep signals, such as rubbing their eyes, scratching their ears, etc.
(6) Wet Diaper
The babies' crying is smooth and elongated in tone, and they stop crying as if it remembers something and then cries again, probably because the wet diaper makes the baby uncomfortable.

Nowadays, when it comes to the epidemics, it seems that only the COVID-19 will occur to the general public immediately. And as the weather warms up, other infectious diseases are also on the rise. We are now undergoing the peak period of HFMD. According to the previous years, the HFMD epidemic starts to break out in March every year, with the first peak occurring from April to July. Since children's immunity has not yet been fully developed, they are susceptible to a variety of pathogens.
1. What Is HFMD?
HFMD is a worldwide infectious disease caused by multiple human enteroviruses that prefer hot and humid environments and occur mostly in children aged 5 and younger (especially infants and toddlers aged 1-2). HFMD is highly prevalent from April to July and highly contagious, and prone to break out in collective places such as kindergartens and schools.
2. The Causes of HFMD
HFMD is an infectious disease caused CV-A16, CV-A6, EV-A71, and Echovirus. These viruses often come from children with HFMD and latent infections, and their feces, throat secretions, saliva and even herpes fluid contain a large amount of viruses. Infants and children can be infected when they touch contaminated hands, toys, towels and other objects, breathe in droplets containing the viruses, and eat contaminated food and water.
3. The Symptoms of HFMD
If the children are infected with HFMD, they may have a fever with body temperature over 38℃, accompanied by headache, cough, runny nose and other symptoms. In addition, the blister-like sores can be seen on babies' skin, especially around their mouth and on their hands and feet.
4. How to prevent and treat HFMD?
(1) Wash hands frequently. Parents should help babies to wash their hands with soap or hand sanitizer under running water. AIWIBI Baby Wet Wipes can also be used before babies eat food and touch their mouths or after they go to the toilet and touch infected blisters.
(2) Change baby diapers timely. It is of great significance to change the diapers for the babies in a timely manner and keep baby's skin dry and clean, so as to prevent babies away from bacteria and even viruses.
(3) Pay attention to the diet. Parents should pay special attention to the food eaten by babies or kids, and remember not to let them eat the food that is half-cooked or dirty.
(4) Keep indoor ventilation. Open the window to let fresh air in when staying at home, and do not take babies to crowded public places, so as to keep distance with the infected kids.
1. Baby diapers are too thick and stuffy.
Parents always worry that diapers are so thick that they will make the baby uncomfortable, especially in summer. But in fact, the diapers are not as thick as most parents think. Taking AIWIBI baby diapers as an example, they are designed with ultra-thin and skin-friendly surface layer with strong absorbency, so as to make the baby feel more comfortable.
2. Red butts caused by baby diapers.
Red butts is a widely concern among parents and they are inclined to blame it on the diapers. Actually, the reason for red butts doesn't lie in the diapers, but because parents do not change the diaper and clean the baby's butts in a timely manner. In this case, baby's urine and feces will keep direct contact with their delicate skin for a long time, which can lead to red butts or other skin problems.
3. Diapers will affect the development of baby's legs.
Many parents hold the view that wearing diapers are more likely to cause baby's o-shaped legs, which is another misconception about baby diapers. As a matter of fact, baby's o-shaped legs are caused by the posture of the fetus in the mother's womb and will naturally correct itself during the baby's growth. In addition, AIWIBI premium baby diapers are made of ultra-thin materials, which will not exert too much pressure on the baby.
4. Wearing diapers affects baby's defecation.
Some parents always think that it is wise to train their babies to defecate without wearing diapers, which is actually not desirable. For the reason that their organs and muscles are not fully developed when they are young, and they are unable to control defecation. At this period, it is necessary to use diapers so that both parents and babies can be relaxed. When the baby grows up, they can learn to take off diapers and train their own defecation.

First time being a parent? Changing diapers for newborns sometime may be really messy and troublesome if parents don't have such experience before. But there is no need to worry about diaper changing. Here are some must-know tips for how to change diapers correctly.
1) Prepare for the Change
Lay your baby flat the bed and take off the dirty diaper. Roll up the dirty diaper and be careful not to touch the inner dirty surface. And then remember to pack the dirty diaper with a plastic bag before throwing it into the trash can, which can effectively prevent odor.
2) Clean Gently
Wash your baby's butt with warm water, pay special attention to the folds of on the butt, as they are more likely to breed bacteria. Parents can use a soft wet towel or baby wipes, such as AIWIBI Baby Wet Wipes, which are skin-friendly, chemicals and alcohol free and will not cause allergic reactions to babies. But remember to wipe from front to back to avoid infection.
3) Position the New Diaper
Raise your baby's legs carefully and place a new diaper under his body. Parents should note that the side with elastic waistband is on the back. Once you're sure the direction is correct, lift the front part of the diaper and gently place it over the baby's stomach.
4) Secure the Diaper
Lift the two magic tapes on both side of the diaper and stick the tape onto the front sticking area of the diaper. Don't fasten the diaper too tightly or too loosely either. You should be able to put two fingers between the diaper and the stomach if the diaper is worn properly.
5) Final Adjustments
Readjust the diaper to fit the baby's body shape well so that all parts of the diaper are close to the baby's skin and that there are no bumps or folds on the surface of the diaper, otherwise it may cause frictional discomfort and leakage.
