Step-by-step diaper change for baby boys
1. Prepare equipment
Prepare 1 changing diaper, damp cloth or wet tissue, dry towel, baby body lotion, and others. Make sure all these equipment are ready near your reach. For newborns or those with diaper rashes, you should use a cotton ball dipped in warm water.
Also make sure that the table where you change your baby's diaper has been covered with a rubber mat or plastic mat before putting the baby to sleep there.
To make it easier to install new diapers, you should remove the baby clothes first. Use it again or replace it with a new one after it's finished.
2. Hold the baby in one hand
When you start changing baby diapers, 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 doesn't move much, while the other hand takes off the old diaper, cleanses the buttocks, and slips the new diaper.
3. Clean the baby's buttocks
Lift the baby's butt from his ankle so that you can pull the dirty diaper, and immediately fold the front of the diaper so that the dirt doesn't stick to the baby's skin. Apply a damp cloth or baby wet tissue from the penis, testicles, and surrounding area before finally moving to the buttocks.
Before cleaning his buttocks, you can cover his penis with a clean cloth so he doesn't urinate on you while he is changing his diaper.
To clean the baby's bottom, starting from top to bottom. Don't forget to wipe any folds and wrinkles. Then apply the lotion and pat the baby's bottom until it's dry, don't rub it.
4. Pull the dirty diaper and install the new one
Still in the position of the baby's butt lifted from his ankle, immediately pull the dirty diaper out with the unemployed hand. Immediately slip clean diapers under her buttocks until they are parallel to the baby's waist.
Align the baby's penis down, then glue the diaper neatly but not too tight. Make sure you can insert two fingers between the baby's diaper and waist.
5. Remove old diapers
Fold and glue your old diaper firmly so that the contents don't spill. Put it in a special plastic bag before throwing it in the trash.
