Infant motor development is characterized by a series of postural milestones: sitting at around 6 months of age, hand and knee crawling at 8.5 months of age, and walking at 12 months of age. This development is an important part of the Little One's growth in his/her golden years or in the first thousand days of life. Therefore, Mommy needs to give more attention in this important period, one of which is helping to stimulate the learning time of walking of the Little One.
Dr. Fellycia Trie W., Sp. A, a pediatrician at RS Cinta Kasih Jakarta, explains, "Children aged 12 to 19 months take an average of 2368 steps and fall 17 times/hour." There are 3 things that must be considered in stimulating the learning to walk of the Little One, namely:
- The number of times to learn to walk: The amount of exercise will help the muscles stronger in the legs, thus improving balance and maintaining coordination of leg movements that can help the Little One walk independently earlier.
- Performing massage on the child: Baby massage is one of the basic needs that must be given to the child to optimize their growth and development, such as motor and physiological body through the nervous system, circulatory system, gastrointestinal system and body metabolism.
- Create a safe and comfortable environment: When you are helping your child learn to walk, make sure to create a safe and comfortable environment for him/her.[5] One of the ways to do this is by choosing diapers that are thinner and less lumpy, so that your child's feet are not obstructed by the bulging diaper while practicing."
When worn, the diaper is a large part between your child's legs. This has the potential to worsen the baby's balance and shows an immature gait pattern so that the child has more missteps and falls when wearing diapers. Therefore, diapers should make the child comfortable so that it does not become a biomechanical disturbance when learning to walk.
MAKUKU CEO, Jason Lee said, "MAKUKU created a super thin diaper with a thickness of only 1.6mm to provide comfort and help good balance attitude when your little one is learning to walk. In addition, the SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer) core structure in MAKUKU SAP Diapers Slim Care does not make the diaper clump at one point, so that liquid absorption is more evenly distributed and keeps the surface dry. This is because SAP absorbent core technology has higher absorption, does not cause reverse osmosis with a 3D hexagonal structure, reducing the frequency of direct contact of diapers with the skin. The hollow surface and 3D structure will certainly reduce diaper friction and air circulation is maintained during diaper use."
Chelsea Olivia, public figure and mother of 2, shared her experience, "In addition to the thin diapers, the urine indicator also makes it easy for mom to know whether the little one's diaper is full or not with the color change from yellow to blue. So, you can easily change your child's diaper without having to wait for the diaper to bulge first. More importantly, MAKUKU diapers with SAP core structure are technologically advanced, so there is no need to worry anymore about diaper rash that is often experienced by babies. Since using MAKUKU SAP Diapers Slim Care, there is no more drama of red, itchy skin, diaper rash, leaky diapers or discomfort due to clumpy diapers. Now I can teach my little one to do activities and move comfortably and freely despite using diapers all day."
