Diaper changing table
Set a diaper changing table in a warm and clean place. It is a good idea to have several diaper changing places at home so that the necessary items such as diapers and wipes are readily available.
Hold onto your baby well
Even if you use a diaper pad with a drawstring, you should always hold onto your baby when changing diapers. Because the baby will turn and twist, or it may fall off the diaper table, please be sure to keep an eye on the baby and put one hand on the baby.
Make diapers changing interesting
Some babies like to have diapers changed, but most babies will squirm and be nervous when parents changing diapers. Put a car or picture around the diaper table to make your work easier. Sing a song or talk to your baby, and tell them what you are doing now. When they get a bit older, let them use their hands to "help" , such as taking a wet wipes bag. The baby tends to be curious about the colorful patterns on the diapers, so you can let your baby play with a clean paper diaper. Distract or attract your baby's attention, or let your baby feel its participation in the diaper changing process. Distracting your baby's attention will make your changing diapers easier.
Ready to start changing diapers!
1. First of all, you should wash your hands. It is very important for diaper changing assistants to wash their hands well.
2. Let the baby lean on the diaper changing table.
3. Open a clean diaper and place it under your baby's buttocks and make sure everything is ready.
4. Open the dirty diaper and fold the edge patch back into the bag to avoid soiling you and your baby.
5. Cover the baby's genitals with a small towel to prevent the baby from suddenly peeing to you.
6. Grab your baby's ankle in one hand, gently lift their butt and pull out the diaper.If the baby has stools, clean it with a dirty diaper as much as possible, then fold the diaper and put the baby's butt on it to keep the new diaper clean.
7. Clean your baby's butt with soft baby wipes. Remember to clean the wrinkles on the inside of your baby's thighs and the butt, from the front to the back.
8. Let your baby's butt dry for a few minutes, then pat dry with a clean towel.
9. Apply care cream for diaper rash or Vaseline. Good diapers help prevent diaper rash, and care cream is an extra layer of protection.
10. Remove the dirty diaper and put it aside. A new clean diaper is ready to be placed under the baby's buttocks.
11. Pull the front half of the diaper to your baby's abdomen. For a newborn, fold the waistline of diaper reversely instead of covering the umbilical cord of your baby. For a male baby, put the penis down so that it does not pee outside the diaper.
12. Make sure the diapers between your baby's legs are loose and comfortable. For a baby boy, please put the patch down.
13. Help your baby get dressed and place the baby in a safe place, such as a game mat or crib.
14. Next, it is recommended to throw the baby's stool into the toilet and wash it off. Then fold the dirty diaper well. It is best to put it in a plastic bag and keep it sealed, then throw it into the trash can or diaper bucket.
15. Remember to thoroughly wash your hands with a healthy antibacterial hand sanitizer after changing the diaper to avoid bacterial spread.
