Which parent hasn't experienced the "battle" of changing diapers? Little ones either writhe in knots or burst into tears, leaving new parents feeling overwhelmed. However, with a few tips, disposable diaper changes can become a joyful time for parent-child bonding.
First, be prepared. Lay out a changing mat on the changing table in advance. Remember to turn on the heater in winter and avoid direct air conditioning in summer. Choose alcohol-free wipes, and warm them beforehand. Applying cold wipes to a baby will upset anyone. I have a close friend who treats every disposable diaper change like she's preparing for surgery, with disinfectant, lotion, and a new disposable diaper lined up. The whole process often leaves her baby in tears before the change even begins.
Be gentle when changing. Grab your baby's ankles and gently lift them upwards; don't pull them hard like a chicken. Remember to remove the dirty disposable diaper first and place a clean diaper bottom underneath. This way, even if your baby pees unexpectedly, there's no risk of staining the countertop. Wipe from front to back, especially for girls. Don't rush to put on a new disposable diaper after wiping. Let the baby's bottom air out and apply some diaper cream to prevent diaper rash.
There's a trick for dealing with a crying baby. Hang a spinning toy overhead, or simply turn your phone to black and white animation. Guaranteed little one will be glued to the screen. My son loved watching the Peppa Pig theme song when he was little. I'd put this on every disposable diaper change, and he instantly became a well-behaved child. Another great trick is to have dad act as a "human toy," holding the baby up like an airplane, allowing him to quickly change his diaper.
Choosing disposable diaper is also important. Don't make the waistband too tight; it should be just the right amount of tightness to fit a finger. Use ultra-thin ones in the summer and thicker ones in the winter. Remember to monitor your baby's skin reactions; some babies may be allergic to certain brands, which can cause small red spots on their bottoms.
Finally, a reminder for new parents: talk to your baby while changing disposable diapers. "Baby, come lift your butt!" "It's time to put on your new pants!" This kind of interaction can help your baby relax. My cousin sings nursery rhymes with her baby every time she changes disposable diapers, and now her baby even claps along during disposable diaper changes.
