Changing baby diapers may look easy. Simply prepare cotton or cloth, diapers, and change clothes for your little one. But be careful, changing baby girl diapers is actually not as easy as a baby boy, you know. So, has it really been your way to change baby girl diapers?
All you have to prepare before changing a baby girl's diaper
Changing diapers for a baby girl should be done more carefully, than when you do it for a baby boy. Because the baby girl is more at risk of urinary tract infections if the genital area is not cleaned properly.
Before starting to change a baby girl's diapers, the tools that must be prepared first are:
- Clean diapers
- Wet tissue or washcloth
- Washcloth or dry towel
- Needless or soft cushion
- Baby powder and diaper rash ointment (if necessary)
How to change the right baby diaper
Here's the order in which to change the right baby diaper:
1. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly and dry them until they are completely dry.
2. Lay the baby on top of a bed or soft pad. Take off the little girl's clothes.
3. Hold both baby's ankles and slowly lift his buttocks so you can easily remove the diaper that he uses.
4. Clean the baby's genitals and buttocks carefully using a tissue or wet washcloth.
5. Separate the baby labia slowly, then wipe from top to bottom or front to back and along the folds in the baby's vital organs.
6. Clean each side of the labia and make sure the baby's sex organs are completely clean of dirt.
7. Wait for a while until your baby's skin dries. Or you can also wipe the baby's skin with a dry cloth or clean towel.
8. Apply a special ointment or cream as instructed by your doctor if your baby has a diaper rash.
9. Open the baby's diaper clean, then lift the baby's buttocks by holding both of his ankles.
10. Slip the diaper under the baby's bottom and slide it towards the waist. Make sure the adhesive position is around the waist.
11. Pull the front diaper towards the baby's stomach. Make sure the diaper is properly placed between the baby's feet.
12. Open the adhesive on the diaper on the back, then pull it towards the baby's stomach to stick it together. Do not get too tight so that the baby's stomach is not depressed.
So, don't misunderstand when changing baby girl diapers!
