Changing your baby’s diaper may seem a bit daunting, especially when you’re a new parent. With daily practice of diapering your baby, you will soon become a pro. Here are few expert tips about how to change a diaper:

  • Babies may need diaper change up to 10 times daily, so it is important for you to check the diaper to see if it is wet or dirty, especially before and after each nap. Always change the diaper immediately when it's soiled to prevent chafing and diaper rash.
  • You can set up a safe diaper changing station with clean diapers, wipes, and any rash ointment (such as zinc oxide cream). This station should be a clean flat surface where your baby will not be in danger of rolling or falling.
  • Never leave your baby unattended as the slightest movements could cause her to fall.
  • Keep a diaper bag packed with diapering essentials so you can change your child quickly and comfortably when you're on the go.
