How to change diapers for newborns

Nowadays, most parents wear diapers for their babies in order to avoid the trouble of washing diapers frequently. This is a very convenient diaper. After putting it on the baby, it can not only prevent the baby from wetting the bed, but also reduce a lot of burden for parents. Diapers can be thrown away directly after use, which is much simpler than washing diapers constantly. However, there are also methods to put diapers on newborns. Let's learn about it below.

1. Choose comfortable diapers

To use baby diapers well, you must first choose the right ones. Here are two tips: First, look at the waist circumference and the design to be attached. Choose ones that can fit the baby's waist tightly and are easier to tear off. The second is to observe the design of the leak-proof edge of the diaper. A good design can reduce friction on the baby's thighs and prevent marks.

2. Keep the diaper tight

Some mothers are confused because diapers are never tight enough and fall down when the baby moves. If this happens, it may be that mothers touch the Velcro of the diaper again after touching the baby care product, which will reduce the adhesion. In addition, when fixing the diaper, make sure your fingers are clean and dry.

3. Diaper changing time

Generally speaking, the diaper should be changed as long as the baby wets it or poops. Even if there are no such situations, the diaper should not be changed more than 4 hours. So how can you know when your baby has a "problem"? Mothers can tell whether the diaper is wet or dirty by paying attention to these times, such as before and after feeding, before and after sleeping, and when the baby goes out. Of course, experienced mothers can discover it from the baby’s small movements and micro-expressions.

4. What to do after your baby has bowel movements

There are also some things to pay attention to when changing diapers, especially the handling after defecation, otherwise skin problems such as diaper rash will occur. Therefore, after the baby has a bowel movement, you should wipe the buttocks clean with a baby wet wipe, then apply a layer of diaper cream, and finally put on a new diaper. Doing so can protect your baby's butt to the greatest extent, keeping it dry and comfortable.

5. Prevent urine leakage

The thing that mothers hate most is that their baby’s diapers leak urine. It doesn’t matter if the clothes get wet, but they are worried that the baby will catch a cold. Therefore, you need to choose the right size of diapers and master the skills of wearing diapers. In fact, the most important point is that the back should be slightly higher than the abdomen to prevent urine from leaking from the back. If you use Pull-Ups®, you don’t have to worry about these problems because your baby won’t be displaced no matter how he moves.
