Whether you’re changing a sleepy newborn or a squirmy toddler, with Baby Diaper Service cotton diapers, diaper changing is easy and convenient! Before you even get your child on the changing table, you will want to prefold your diaper and place it in the wrap. For boys, lay the diaper out so the seams are vertical and then fold it in thirds. For girls, lay the diaper out with the seams horizontal and fold in thirds. This will ensure the most absorption in the area that needs it most. Lay your child on the changing pad or table and remove the soiled diaper (a clean diaper can serve as a changing pad in a pinch). Cleanse the diaper area and pat dry, then apply powder, calendula cream, or diaper rash cream—depending on your baby’s needs. If using powder it’s best to shake the powder away from the baby, into your hand, then onto your baby. This minimizes powder inhalation. Place the clean diaper, in the wrap, under your baby’s bottom. Make sure the diaper is large enough to cover the entire diaper area, but not so large that leakage will occur. Close the velcro tabs and buckle, and where necessary, the wrap. Adjust the waistband so the diaper is snug, but not too tight—diapers should never leave marks on baby’s skin. Check the fit of the diaper, especially around the legs. The diaper should fit snugly around the legs—this will reduce the chance of leaks. Leaking is caused by a diaper that is left protruding around baby’s legs or waist, and can be avoided by simply tucking the diaper into the wrap. Remember, always wash your hands after a diaper change. If you have a particularly active baby, try to make changing time a fun, social time for you and your baby by talking and singing. Your baby will be easier to change, and happier! For more information on Baby Diaper Service, or to sign up, call 1-800-562-BABY, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. |
