How do you install baby diapers?
Maybe you have done various preparations to welcome the presence of the baby since long ago. However, you still need a big adjustment because your new role is now as a parent. From heavy duty to light duty, everything needs adjustment and learning.
The business of putting baby diapers on your baby sometimes becomes a thing that makes you overwhelmed. Relax, you can be an expert, if you know how to put baby diapers in the following steps.
- Always wash your hands using soap, hand sanitizer, or wet tissue when you are going to put on your little diaper. Don't forget to dry your hands, huh.
- Prepare a place to put your baby's diaper, for example a special diaper changing table. However, you can also put your little one on the floor or bed that has been covered with blankets, towels, clothes, or mats to change his diaper.
- Prepare a new, clean diaper, tissue, or wet cloth. Also provide warm water and a towel to dry the baby's skin so that it is always dry.
- When putting on baby diapers, place your baby in a safe place so as not to fall or roll over. To protect it, give it a base first. Don't leave your baby unattended, even if only for a while.
- If your baby is a boy, cover the genitals with a clean cloth so that when urinating is not about you or himself.
- Lift the little buttocks off the table by gently holding the ankles with your hands.
- Clean your child's genitals and the surrounding area with wet tissue or wet cotton. Do not forget to clean the remnants of dirt that still sticks around the anus surface, thigh folds, and genitals to clean. Clean the dirt from front to back to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections, especially in girls.
- Directly throw wet tissue or wet cotton into the trash.
- Even if your baby doesn't defecate, you should still clean the front and the back. Also clean the surrounding skin area with a cloth or wet tissue.
- Let your baby's skin dry itself in a few moments. Or wipe using a dry cloth or clean towel.
- You can apply a special cream as instructed by the doctor on the skin if there is a diaper rash.
- Open a clean baby diaper and place your baby by tucking it under the buttocks and sliding it toward the waist, where the adhesive position is behind. Pull the front diaper towards the baby's stomach.
- For a baby boy, point the baby's penis down to prevent the urine from being at the top. For newborns who have not dislodged the umbilical cord, note that the diaper does not cover the umbilical cord.
- Make sure the diaper part is between your baby's legs in a balanced manner. Then tighten the diaper by opening the adhesive, which is then pulled towards the abdomen to attach it. Don't get too tight when tying them together so the baby feels comfortable.
- After that, don't forget to wash your hands again after changing your baby's diaper. If no one else can take care of the baby as long as you wash your hands, use it hand sanitizer.
