Changing baby’s diaper: a quick recap of the key steps
Here is a short summary guide that we have put together to help parents when washing their baby:
- Prepare all the necessary equipment: baby wipes, clean diapers, moisturizer, warm water, soft towels.
- Remove the dirty diaper by gently untying it to avoid rubbing against your baby’s bottom.
- Use baby wipes or a clean, damp cloth to clean your baby’s bottom. Make sure to use clean, warm water to avoid irritation.
- Dry your baby’s bottom thoroughly with a soft, clean towel.
- Apply moisturizer to your baby’s bottom to protect their skin and prevent redness.
- Put a clean diaper on your baby.
- Change your baby’s diaper regularly to avoid irritation and diaper rash.
- Always listen to your baby and their needs, if you notice any redness or irritation, consult your pediatrician.
- Remember to wash your hands after each change to avoid the transmission of possible infections.
- Take advantage of this time to cuddle and talk to your baby; this will strengthen your emotional bond.
