Patient's question:
Will wearing diapers outside of pants affect leg shape? I'm very worried. My child has been doing this for a long time, and I'm afraid it might get worse.Doctor's answer:
Hello! In your baby's condition description, the diaper has been worn outside the pants since the baby was two months old. Generally, this situation will not affect the baby's leg shape. It is recommended to wear the diaper inside the pants as much as possible, as this will be closer to the baby's skin, making the distance between the legs smaller and thus not affecting the baby's leg growth. However, it is important to note that for babies under one year old, it is appropriate to use diapers, but after one year, it is recommended to stop using diapers. One reason is that it may lead to the baby developing enuresis in the future, and another is that it may cause leg deformities in the baby.
