Continuous use of diaper will cause diaper rash in children. Better to use cloth diaper. Keep 6 hours atleast diaper free to avoid rash

Use whichever makes you comfortable. In western countries they use diapers all the time. There are pros and cons of all types - disposable diapers - cloth diapers - cloth underwear So choose whichever suits you best. Make sure to avoid diaper rashes from developing and let the child be diaper free for a few hours per day. Book an appointment with me to discuss further.

Diaper should not be used for more then 3-4 hours at a stretch . Keep a rubber mat on bed and make baby wear cotton clothes
