How to Change a Baby’s Diapers?
Grab Your Supplies:
- Change table or change mat
- A fresh diapers (Kiddicare diapers, of course!)
- Baby wipes or wash cloth
- Diaper cream or ointment
- Change of clothes for your baby (in case of a blowout)
- Disposable diaper bag or bin
Follow These Simple Steps:
- Get ready with your change table or change mat, and a fresh diapers.
- Lay your baby down on their back and remove the used diapers. Dispose of the diapers by rolling it into a bundle, and sealing it with the grip tabs.
- Gently clean your baby’s diaper area, taking extra care to clean between the folds of the skin where moisture can get trapped. You can use baby wipes, like Kiddicare sensitive baby wipes, or a damp washcloth. For girls, wipe front to back. For boys, use the front of the diapers to cover their diaper area as you clean (and to protect yourself from any surprise sprays!)
- If necessary, apply a diaper ointment or cream and allow to completely air dry.
- Open the fresh diaper so the inside is facing up toward you.
- Open the two grip tabs (on either side of the diaper), untuck the double leak guards (elasticated sides that run down the diaper) and soft leg cuffs (ruffled-like material). These should sit flat on your baby’s skin.
- Gently raise your baby’s legs and lower body by their ankles, and slide the fresh diapers underneath. Their bum should be in the middle of the diaper.
- Pull the front the diaper (side closest toward you) up and over your baby’s diaper area. The Kiddicare logo on the front of the diaper should be facing you.
- If necessary, untuck the double leak guards and soft leg cuffs. These should sit flat on their skin.
- Secure the strong grip tabs, by folding them up and over your baby’s hip. These should sit comfortably on your baby’s hip – no need to make the fastening too tight. The tabs are also resealable.
Did you know?: On average, each baby will have 3,500 diaper changes before they are toilet trained
How Often You Should Change Their diapers?
Babies need frequent diaper changes to keep their skin clean, fresh and to help prevent diaper rash. If your baby has sensitive skin, changing their diaper as soon as they wet themselves can prevent further irritation.
It is recommended that your baby’s diapers is changed as soon as possible when they have done a poo.
Newborns may need changing as many times as 10 to 12 times a day, while older babies average 6 to 8 times per day.
How the diapers Should Fit?
Made with seriously good features, Kiddicare deluxe diapers also have a unique fit. Here’s a few tips on how the diapers should fit:
Our high back waistband is soft and stretchy, designed to sit a little higher on your baby’s back. This makes for a comfy and snug fit to reduce the chance of sneaky leaks or blowouts.
We recommend choosing a diaper size based on your baby’s weight. Our diaper size guide helps you find the right size and an estimate of how many diapers you’ll use per day.
If your baby is in-between sizes, contact our Customer Love team to get their expert advice on the perfect Kiddicare fit.
Our diapers have a stretchy high back waistband and strong grip tabs, which can sit further apart when fastened onto the front of the diapers.
Our fit means that when the diapers is on your little one, it should be snug on their tummy (pulled up just under their belly button) and at the same level on their back.
