Changing diapers can be a little tiring if you’re a first-time mom. But, it shouldn't be a problem after following these steps.
Keep your stuff close
Keep wipes, plastic bag, tissues, a clean diaper, barrier cream, and a towel or mat right next to you.
Keep his hands away
Newborns can move their hands during the diaper change causing a lot of mess. Roll his hands in the shirt to keep it away during changing diapers.
Keeping the place under the baby clean
Place the mat under the baby, then place the clean diaper under the baby before removing the dirty one.
Placing the diaper the right way
It might sound like common sense, but you’ll get surprised by how many people get confused while placing the diaper.
The right way is to place the sticker part under the babies back.
Cleaning the baby
Use the front part of the diaper to wipe the baby’s bottom if there is a poop.
Wipe the girl’s bottom from front to back to avoid infections. Cover the boy with a wipe so you don’t get sprayed.
Avoid changing diapers less frequently to avoid diaper rash
And then you’re done.
