Step four
Take some gentle wet wipes or a damp washcloth and proceed to wipe your baby. It is very crucial to remember to wipe front to back especially for girls, to prevent infections.
Then, with a fresh wipe or a clean washcloth, lift their legs slightly to properly wipe in between the bum area. Make sure you've also reached any other hidden folds.
Step five
The next thing you need to do is to observe the area for any unusual signs. Sometimes babies can swell or get an allergic reaction to a diaper or product you're using so you have to check for any signs.
At this step, if you need to apply any cream or oil, do so.
Step six
Finally, get the fresh diaper and open it. The side with the tape should be the one you will place at the back so you need to lift their legs once again and push it to the back.
Finally, fold the front part between their legs and fasten the tape properly. Note that, if the umbilical cord is still fresh, fold the diaper at the waist before fastening the tape so the area remains uncovered.
Make sure that there aren't any parts of the diaper that are tucked around the thigh area for a leak-free experience and, you're all done.
