How to Change Nappies
Changing a nappy is not something that comes naturally to people; it must first be taught. Changing nappies might seem like a simple process, but it is worth the time to learn how to do it properly. Incorrect changing of a nappy can lead to chafing and rashes for the baby.
Preparation
When preparing to change a nappy, there are a few things that should be kept in mind. First, be sure to wash and dry your hands. Next, create a warm dry place to change the baby. Changing mats are sold in stores, however any towel or cloth in a warm dry area will do. Finally, assemble your materials. You will need either your cloth or disposable nappy and some baby wipes. Additionally you may want to use a nappy cover and baby lotion.
Changing the Baby
Changing a nappy is pretty standard process. First, lay the baby down on the table on his or her back. Next, unfasten the nappy tabs and fold them back so they do not stick to the baby’s skin. If the baby is a boy, cover the penis with a clean cloth. Next, clean away any poop that the baby might have left, lift the baby’s bottom up and fold the nappy closed. Carefully dispose of the nappy.
Next, use a baby wipe to clean the baby’s front and bottom thoroughly. If the baby is a girl, be sure to wipe from front to back, to prevent infection. Next, apply the baby lotion. After the baby is clean, put on the new nappy. Place the side with the tabs underneath the baby and fold the other side between the baby’s legs and up and over the front side of the baby. Finally, either clip, pin or fasten the nappy shut, making sure the nappy is snug but not too tight. Check that the nappy does not bunch between the legs as this can cause chaffing and rashes. If you have chosen to use a nappy cover, fasten the cover over top of the diaper.
After you are finished and have disposed of the nappy, remember to wash your hands thoroughly.
