Disposable-diaper-changing routine

You’re going to do a lot of diaper changing over the next few months and years, so here’s a helpful diaper changing routine. Check it off and make every diaper change smooth like your baby’s bottom.

2 mins to read Sep 18, 2020

Set up a diaper changing station with everything you need in arms reach. Diaper changing supplies might include: clean diapers; cotton balls; fragrance- and alcohol-free baby wipes; diapers creams; a diaper pail; a changing mat or clean towels.
If you’re using a changing table, keep your eyes on baby all the time—they can wriggle a lot even when they are small.
Use this time to engage with your baby. Singing or chatting to your baby can help to soothe and calm them.
Always keep at least one hand on your baby to prevent a fall.
Undo the dirty diaper. Fold it up and move it out of your baby’s reach.
Use warm water to clean your baby’s bottom using wet cotton balls, a single-use cloth, or a baby wipe. Wipe front to back for a girl, back to front for a boy.
Pat your baby’s bottom dry with the towel.
Gently lift your baby’s legs with one hand and put the clean diaper (with the tabs at the back) under their bottom with the other.
Only use diaper cream if there is redness or a rash.
Fold the front of the diaper up to baby’s waist and fasten the tabs on the sides.
Wash and moisturize your hands after every diaper change.
