From amongst the many baby care etiquette, you require adopting to take care of a newborn, a significant one of which is Changing Baby Diapers. So to help you sail through this one we present to you a little Guide to Diaper changing. Do read ahead-
What all would you be needing-
A never ending the supply of diapers. In the initial few weeks, the number would be 100+. So buy and stock them up neatly well in advance.
Baby wipes for cleaning baby bottom every time you change the diaper. Consider purchasing alcohol-free wipes to avoid rashes.
Hand sanitizer to keep your hands germ-free to cut down the chances of infection while changing nappies.
A diaper pail to dispose off the soiled diapers is a must. While traveling plastic bags could be a for-the-time-being replacement.
Baby Lotion and talc. Once you clean, use some lotion to moisturize the area always covered with the diaper, and talc to absorb any wetness that remains.
Baby suits or rompers to dress and cover your baby immediately after changing the diaper. You can consider buying baby rompers online.
Tips To Keep It Safe and Easy:
- Once you place the baby on the changing table or bed, do not leave him/her unattended. A sudden turn and they may topple off.
- Before making the change wash your hands properly with soap. Hand sanitizers come in handy but when at home, no harm in taking better precautions.
- Do make it a habit to keep a diaper changing bag, in order to have everything at your disposal once you are at your task of changing the nappies.
- Babies create quite a fuss while getting the change, keep some toys or pacifiers to keep him/her distracted.
- There are many a baby items you need, but going overboard is not needed. Diaper change is like a battle to be fought. So keep it simple. Indulging in buying a special changing table, wipe warmer etc. is not essentially needed.
- Once you are done with the diaper change, don’t just wash your hands, wash the little one’s hands too. You don’t know where all did those tiny hands fidgeted around in the process.
- Understand the signs with which your baby communicates the need of diaper change, and check for leakages at regular intervals. Wearing wet or soiled nappies for long could be very dangerous for your little one.
- Last but the most important, don’t look at it as a dirty task. While most of you will naturally discard this thought once you are at it; it would be even better if you do so now.
