2. Prepare a Place to Change Your Little One's Diaper You
can change your baby's diaper on a special table, on a bed that has been covered with a blanket, or on a floor covered with a blanket. However, make sure you put your little one in a safe place so that he doesn't fall or roll over while you're changing his diaper or if you want to leave the baby for a while unattended.
3. Prepare Necessities for Changing Diapers
Prepare clean diapers, and other necessities such as dry wipes, wet wipes, warm water and towels to dry the baby's skin after the mother cleans it.
Step 2: Clean Baby's Skin from Dirt
Next, here's how to clean baby's skin from urine or feces that sticks:
4. Open the Diaper
Remove the soiled diaper by opening the adhesive without damaging the adhesive. The trick, pull the front of the dirty diaper and then lower it down. Don't open the baby's diaper by lowering it like shorts, so that the baby's feces don't splatter everywhere. In baby boys, cover his genitals with a clean cloth so that when he urinates, urine does not get on the mother or himself.
5. Clean
Use the front of the diaper to clean most of the feces if the baby has a bowel movement. Clean from the front to the back. When the baby does not defecate, the mother must also keep cleaning the front and back.
Then lift the baby's buttocks off the table by holding both ankles slowly, immediately grab the front of the diaper, then fold it to cover the dirty part, and tuck it under his buttocks.
After that, clean the little one's genitals and also the surrounding skin area with a wet cloth or tissue, and make sure there are no more remnants of dirt that are still attached to the groin and vital organs.
6. Apply Cream
After drying the baby's skin, the mother can apply a special cream as recommended by the doctor if there is a diaper rash on the baby's skin.
7. Dispose of Dirty Diapers
Prepare a special bag to dispose of dirty diapers and used wet wipes. Don't throw used diapers into the kitchen trash.
Step 3: Change to a Clean Diaper
The final step is to put a clean diaper on the baby. The trick, first of all, is to open a clean baby diaper and tuck it under the little one's buttocks, then slide it towards the waist because the adhesive position is at the back. Then, pull the front diaper towards the baby's stomach. In male babies, point the genitals down so that the urine does not wet the top.
After that, make sure the front and back of the diaper are aligned so that it doesn't leak, then secure the diaper by opening the tape and pulling it towards the stomach to be glued. Remember, don't be too tight when gluing the diaper so that your little one still feels comfortable.
Important Things to Know When Changing a Baby's Diaper
In order to maintain the cleanliness and health of the baby, the mother should not only change the baby's diaper when it smells bad. However, mothers also need to check if the baby's diaper is wet or dirty periodically and replace it with a clean diaper immediately. You may need to prepare 10 diapers or even more for your little one in a day. This is because babies generally urinate about 20 times a day for the first few months.
If the mother puts the baby in a disposable diaper, the mother is advised to change the diaper at least every 2-3 hours. However, if the mother chooses to put the baby in cloth diapers, immediately change the diaper when it is wet so that the baby's skin does not get irritated.
Well, that's the correct order of changing diapers.
