Getting Ready

  • Diaper ointment or powder
  • A changing pad or cloth

Remove the old diaper

Lay your baby down on the changing pad or cloth and gently remove the soiled diaper. Give them a toy so that they don’t touch anything or hurt themselves or try to roll while you are changing the diaper.

Wiping

You can either use baby wipes or wipe your with a cloth dipped in warm water. Make sure to wipe from the front to back and not the other way round to avoid infections. Don’t forget to clean the creases in buttocks and thighs.

Place the new diaper

Place a fresh piece of diaper under your baby and apply a little powder to prevent rashes. Bring the front part of the diaper up between your baby’s legs and onto the belly.

Make sure the diaper fits

Make sure the diaper isn’t too tight or too loose. The perfect fit is when you can put a finger in the diaper without a struggle. If you see red lines near the belly or legs, it means you either need to loosen the diaper or try a bigger size.

Follow these steps and you will be a diaper changing expert in no time! If you see rashes or red lines, it might be due to the fact that the baby is allergic to some brands of diapers or the size is wrong.
