17 steps to change newborn diapers

In the past, when there were no diapers, everyone just used cloth. After diapers appeared, everyone bought diapers to use. However, for newcomers who use diapers for the first time, their movements will inevitably be slow. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. The following editor will introduce to you in detail some steps for changing diapers for newborns, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

1. Open a new diaper and place the half with the waist sticker under the baby's dirty diaper. Note that the top of the new diaper should be placed at the baby's waist. If your baby's diaper is very dirty, you can put a piece of cloth, towel or disposable diaper pad under his butt when cleaning it to avoid dirtying the new diaper.

2. Open and fold the waist sticker of the dirty diaper to prevent it from sticking to the baby's skin.

3. Pull down the front piece of the soiled diaper. If your baby is a boy, it's best to quickly cover his penis with a clean cloth or another diaper to prevent him from suddenly peeing.

4. If there is feces in the baby's diaper, you can use the front piece of the diaper to wipe off the feces stuck on the baby's buttocks.

5. Grab the baby's ankles with one hand and lift them up gently. Use the other hand to fold the dirty diaper under the baby's butt with the clean side facing up to prevent the baby's dirty butt from soiling the clean diaper to be replaced.

6. Use baby wipes, cloth or gauze to clean the front of your baby. If your baby is a girl, be sure to wipe from front to back (towards the bottom) to help prevent bacterial infections.

7. If the baby has smelly poop, take another wet wipe and wipe his butt. You can lift his legs up to wipe him, or you can gently let him turn over to the sides and then wipe him. Be sure to clean the crevices of your baby's thighs and buttocks as well.

8. After wiping, let your baby's bottom dry naturally, or pat it dry with a clean cloth. If you need to treat or prevent diaper rash, you can apply diaper rash cream or petroleum jelly to your baby. However, the best way to combat diaper rash is to keep your baby's bottom dry. Therefore, you should check your baby's diapers regularly and change them in time.

9. Take away the dirty diaper and put it aside. If you started from step one, your baby should already have a clean diaper waiting to be used.

10. Pull the front piece of the new diaper up to cover your baby's tummy. If your baby is a boy, make sure his penis is facing down so he is less likely to pee in the top of his diaper.

11. If your baby is a newborn, be careful not to cover the umbilical cord stump with a diaper until it dries and falls off. If possible, you can buy diapers that allow the umbilical cord stump to be exposed, or you can fold the edge of a regular diaper down a little.

12. Make sure the diaper between the baby's legs is as flat as possible to make the baby as comfortable as possible. If the diaper bunches up and gets wrinkled there, it will be uncomfortable for your baby and his skin may get chafed.

13. Stick the waist stickers on both ends of the diaper firmly. But be careful not to make it too tight so as not to squeeze the baby. At the same time, be careful not to let the waist patch stick to the baby's skin.

14.The diaper has been changed!

15. Dress your baby, place him in a safe place (like on the floor or in his crib), give him a toy, and then you can clean up the diaper-changing area.

16. If possible, try to empty the stool from the diaper into the toilet. Then fold the diaper, attach the waist tape securely, and throw it into the trash can or diaper bucket. If it is a flushable or biodegradable diaper, be sure to dispose of it according to the product instructions.

17. Wash your hands thoroughly. If you can't wash it under the tap, you can use hand sanitizer. Okay, now everything is done, you can go play with your baby!
