How to Change a Baby’s Cloth Diaper

Instructions

• 1

  Lay the baby on the changing pad
  
  First of all, take the baby’s clothes off and lay him or her on a changing pad. A changing pad is very important as placing the baby on the carpet or bed may cause stains. Also, the changing pad is soft and makes the baby comfortable.

  Remove the old diaper
  
  You need to unfasten the pins of the diaper that the child is wearing and lift both feet of the baby to remove it. Set the diaper aside and make sure the dirt does not fall on the changing pad or floor.

  Wipe buttocks
  
  While the feet of the baby are in the air, wipe the buttocks and genitals with the help of baby wipes and make sure the area is clean. Also, wipe the thighs and lower back with another wipe and throw it in the dustbin.

  Pat dry with a towel
  
  Once you are done with the cleaning, pat the area dry with the help of a baby towel and make sure the body does not remain wet. Now apply the nappy rash cream and some powder.

  Place new cloth diaper and fasten diaper pins
  
  Place the new diaper under the baby and put the feet down. You need to make sure the back of the new diaper is placed high enough so that there are no leaks. Fasten the diaper pins and be certain that the diaper is just under the abdomen of the baby. In the end, check nicely whether the diaper pins are fastened firmly.
