Congratulations! It's a boy... or a girl! You've been dreaming of this moment for nine months. But now comes the practical part: changing nappies!
Even with my experience of having two girls, I was nervous about changing my little boy’s nappy for the first time. To my surprise, it was actually easier than I expected!
Tips for Changing a Nappy
If you’re using disposable nappies, here’s how to get started:
1. Prepare the Surface:
Lay your baby on a flat, soft changing mat. If using a raised surface, never leave your baby unattended. Babies can unexpectedly roll off, risking injury.
2. Check if the Nappy Needs Changing:
Modern nappies keep wetness away from your baby's skin, making it hard to tell if it's wet. Check by feeling if the nappy is soft and squishy or has increased in size. A soiled nappy is easily detected?"often by smell!
3. Keep Your Baby Occupied:
As your baby gets older, they may become more wriggly during changes. Distract them with a mobile or a toy to make the process easier for you.
4. Clean Wisely:
Remove the old nappy and use cotton wool pads soaked in warm water to clean your baby's bottom. Avoid soap and scented wipes for newborns, as their skin is sensitive. A daily warm bath is usually sufficient. For older babies, you can use a warm soapy cloth or sensitive wipes.
5. Wipe Properly:
- For girls: Wipe from front to back to prevent infection.
- For boys: Ensure you clean around and under, but never pull back the foreskin to avoid damage and infection.
6. Skip Creams and Talc:
Modern nappies are excellent at keeping skin dry, making creams unnecessary. They can even hinder the nappy’s absorption. If nappy rash occurs, apply a thin layer of cream and let the air reach the affected area by laying your baby on a towel without a nappy for a while.
7. Apply the Fresh Nappy:
Place the fresh nappy under your baby with the sticky tabs at the back. Pull the front up and fasten it comfortably?"not too tight, allowing the baby room to breathe.
And that’s it! All done... until the next change!
