Most babies like to laugh. There is not a more pleasing
sight than a laughing baby. And not a more annoying sight than a wailing one.
Don’t you remember that one annoying baby in the bus or the airplane or the
cinema hall who made your life miserable? Most often, crying babies are either
hungry, or hurt, or wet. When babies are with their mothers and fathers, with
milk bottles, would they be hungry? No. If it’s a healthy baby, would they be
hurt. Very rarely, they would be. So why do they cry? It’s because they are
wet.
I have a baby. His name is Utkarsh, and we call him Uggi.
Uggi was born exactly a year ago, the same month, March. The last one year has
been quite a journey for me and his father. Uggi is not a crybaby. He enjoys
going out. Take him to a mall, let him see the fancy lights and smell the
soothing fragrance, he will pass an ear to ear smile that outgrows his face.
Take him to any well lighted place, Uggi turns crazy with happiness. What he
hates, and what we hate too, thanks to him, is taking him to a cinema hall.
Once we took him to a cinema hall and we had made wear a diaper, a common
brand, and he kept crying. I tried to feed him, but he was not interested. He
wasn’t hungry. He didn’t seem to be in pain either. His hands kept inching
towards his diaper, as if urging us to remove it for him. I opened the diaper
to find out that despite the promise of keeping my baby’s bottom dry and
sealed, the diaper was damp. His buttocks were wrinkled and red. We were angry,
so were the people around us because of our wailing Uggi, and we stormed out of
the movie theater and rushed to a Chemist’s shop.
We asked for a brand that could seal the pee, that could help
keep my baby dry. There wasn’t one he said. It was not until this year that I
found out that finally there is a brand which can help Uggi remain the outdoor baby
that he is, who loves going out, who loves lights and cinema, who loves the dryness
promised by the new Pampers Baby Dry. Its Magic Gel locked in moisture so helps
Uggi’s skin remains dry and healthy for up to 12 hours. Besides, Uggi never
complains. It’s like a baby diaper pampering him, true to its name.
