Our quick tricks make it easy to change a baby’s diaper.
Organize your diaper changing table
- Keep clean diapers and wipes within reach, along with spray or diaper cream.
- Store diapers in a drawer, on a shelf, or in a basket. A basket is a nice place to keep cloth diapers.
- With a basket you don’t need to fold prefolds or fitted diapers since most cloth diaper folding can be done in a few seconds during changes. Plus, you can easily pick up the basket and move diaper changing duty anywhere in the house.
- Protect the changing table with an absorbent or waterproof pad.
- Make the area interesting for your toddler. If you have a mobile, look at it from below. What does your baby see?
- Put the a flip-top diaper pail within arm’s reach so you can toss the wet diaper away without letting go of your baby.
Change a baby’s diaper whenever wet
- Frequent diaper changes keep your baby’s skin dry and healthy. This might mean 12 times a day for a newborn, while a toddler may only need 4-5 diaper changes every day.
- Notice your baby’s signals. You may find that you can anticipate wet or soiled diapers by their facial expressions and body language.
- Once your baby begins to communicate more, ask whether it is time to change the baby’s diaper. Giving the baby a voice in this process is an early step toward potty training toddlers.
