Changing diapersThe art of changing diapers
Unless you have raised with several younger siblings or you’ve been a devoted aunt, need a little practice to learn to change diapers quickly but effective, even at midnight and can barely open his eyes. Changing diapers is all an art and can only be learned with practice. Do it again and again will lead to perfection, but not before going through some diapers placed upside down, others lose their contents, and even some accidental spillage, if you have a boy.

Prepare
• Wash and dry your hands (you can use a disposable washcloth).
• Choose a warm, dry baby changing. You can use a special mattress for baby changing, but also helps you a towel, a clean cloth diaper or any other soft surface and warm.
• Prepare all necessary materials. If you are using disposable diapers, need a clean diaper and a plastic bag, if you use gauze or cloth diapers, you’ll need a clean diaper, safety pins and a waterproof panties, if you use cloth diapers tight, need a clean diaper and a liner. If your baby is prone to irritation or diaper rash, you also need a barrier cream or petroleum jelly.

Step by step: How to change a disposable diaper
1. Release the adhesive closures of the diaper and fold them back, sticking them on themselves for not adhering to the skin of the baby, but still do not remove the dirty diaper.

2. If any poo, clean it first with the diaper itself, taking care to cover the penis (if boy) with a towel for hygiene reasons and to avoid the “splash” mentioned above.

3. With one hand holding the baby by the ankles and legs slightly crank up a little lifting her buttocks. Although this gesture seems a bit odd, is a very efficient way to do it.

4. Fold the middle and leave the soiled diaper under the baby’s bottom with dirty side inside the diaper.

5. Use a disposable baby wipe or a wet washcloth to gently wipe the baby’s genital area. The girls should wipe from front to back (in the opposite direction to your vagina). This will decrease the possibility of introducing bacteria from the rectum to the vagina that could cause an infection.

6. Raise both legs and clean his baby ‘s bottom .
7. Changes the clean one dirty diaper . Open the diaper and put the part with adhesive closures under baby’s bottom. Now fold the bottom of baby’s tummy, sliding it between her legs (sepárale legs as possible without harm). Be careful that the bulge too diaper between the baby’s legs, which could cause irritation and discomfort. For newborns, avoid covering the umbilical cord (no diapers specially designed for infants who have cut the front). For men, make sure that the penis is pointing downwards to reduce the possibility of leakage of urine.

8. Close the diaper sticking the adhesive strips on both sides. Make sure it is snug but not so much that it pinches his skin. Consult the manufacturer of the diaper for other tips specific to that brand.
9. Close the dirty diaper, wrapping the strips around and hitting himself. Place in plastic bag and throw into the pot of dirty diapers. Dress the baby, wash your hands well, and you’re done!
