Changing a baby's diaper may seem trivial. But if you've never practiced before, especially if you're a new parent, this job can be overwhelming. Come on, look carefully at how to change baby diapers below.
Step by step changing baby boy's diaper
1. Prepare the equipment
Prepare 1 change of diaper, damp cloth or wet tissue, dry towel, baby body lotion, and others. Make sure all of this equipment is at hand at your fingertips. For newborns or those with diaper rash, it's best to use a cotton ball soaked in warm water.
Also, make sure the table where you change the baby's diaper is covered with a rubber mat or plastic mat before putting the baby to sleep there.
To make it easier to put on a new diaper, it's best to take off the baby's clothes first. Put it on again or replace it with a new one when finished.
2. Hold the baby with one hand
When you start changing your baby's diaper, make sure you are ready to hold the baby in one hand. This hand is responsible for lifting the baby's legs so that he does not move much, while the other hand takes off the old diaper, cleans his bottom, and slides in the new diaper.
3. Clean the baby's bottom
Lift the baby's bottom off his ankles so you can pull the soiled diaper, and immediately fold the front of the diaper so that the litter doesn't stick to the baby's skin. Wipe a damp cloth or baby wipes starting from the penis, testicles (testes), and the surrounding area before moving to the buttocks.
Before cleaning his buttocks, you can cover his penis with a clean cloth so that he doesn't pee on you while he is changing his diaper.
To clean baby's bottom, start from top to bottom. Don't forget to also wipe every skin crease and wrinkle. Next, apply lotion and pat the baby's bottom dry, do not rub.
4. Pull out the soiled diaper and put a new one on
Still in the position that the baby's buttocks are lifted from his ankles, immediately pull the dirty diaper out with the idle hand. Immediately slide the clean diaper under her bottom so that it is parallel to the baby's waist.
Straighten the baby's penis downward, then tape the diaper neatly but not too tightly. Make sure that you can fit two fingers between the diaper and the baby's waist.
5. Discard old diapers
Fold and tape your old diaper tightly so that the contents don't spill out. Put it in a special plastic bag before throwing it in the trash.
