That is why every parent should change their beloved baby 's diaper frequently using soft diapers for babies.
If mom and dad are still confused about how to change and install a baby's diaper, it's a good idea to listen to the following guide. Follow this guide carefully to prevent your little one from feeling uncomfortable due to a wet diaper.
Prepare Equipment in Advance
Apart from new diapers, mom and dad also have to prepare some other equipment, namely
- A clean, flat place to change diapers. Mom and dad can use a special table that is widely found in the market, on a mattress, or even change diapers on the floor as long as it has been given a clean mat.
- ️Wet wipes specifically for babies that do not contain alcohol. Mom and dad can also use warm water, mild soap, and a clean cloth to clean the baby's skin. The use of this soap is highly recommended if your baby has just defecated.
- Cream or lotion to relieve diaper rash if your little one has red skin in the area covered by the diaper.
- A change of clothes for your little one if the previous clothes were wet with pee. This is common in babies who use cloth diapers.
- Pockets to hold used diapers.
Steps to Change and Install Baby Diapers
After all the equipment is available, it's time for moms and dads to do the following step by step.
- ️Wash hands thoroughly before changing diapers using soap and running water. If mom and dad are on their way and there is no water available, you can also use hand sanitizer or wet wipes.
- Place your baby on a surface prepared for changing diapers. Make sure this surface is covered with a clean base. Open the baby diaper tape and fold it back so it doesn't touch your baby's skin.
- Lift your little one's buttocks by holding both his ankles and then slowly raise your little one's feet up. Then, take the front of the diaper and fold it over to cover the soiled area. Then put the folded diaper into the plastic bag provided. You can throw these dirty diapers in the trash after the diaper changing process is complete, because mom and dad shouldn't leave your little one out of control while at the table to change diapers.
- ️Wipe the diaper-covered area beforehand with a wet tissue or warm water and a clean cloth. Clean the genital area and its surroundings by gently rubbing from front to back. Wiping from front to back prevents the spread of bacteria that are usually present in your baby's stool to the genital area. This bacteria can cause infections in the urinary tract, mom and dad, especially in babies with female sex.
- Dry the buttocks, genitals, and groin area using a dry, soft cloth. You can also let this area dry on its own due to exposure to air. It is highly recommended indeed to give your child a break from using disposable diapers so that the skin in the area covered by the diaper can breathe properly.
- If necessary, mom and dad can use creams or lotions that can relieve the red rash that appears in the area covered by the diaper. Use creams and lotions that have a balanced PH level and have been dermatologically tested. You can also consult a pediatrician to determine the best cream or lotion for your beloved baby.
- After the skin on the buttocks, genitals, and groin is completely dry, you can immediately put on a new diaper. Again lift your little one's bottom by holding his ankles up. Tuck a comfortable and clean diaper under your baby's bottom and slide it up to the waist area. Next, pull the front of the diaper towards the baby's stomach.
- Open the diaper tape then pull it towards the stomach to be glued. However, don't be too strict, moms and dads. Make sure you can fit two fingers between the diaper and the baby's waist so that your baby is still comfortable. If your little one has not lost the umbilical cord, try not to cover the diaper area of the umbilical cord.
- Place your little one in a safe place first before moms and dads throw used diapers and dirty wet wipes into the wastebasket. Don't forget to wash your hands again after changing your baby's diaper.
