NAPPY CHANGING

Welcome to the world of nappies – you are going to see a lot of them! The average newborn gets through 10–12 nappies a day, while older babies only need changing 6–8 times a day. Some babies have delicate skin and as soon as their nappy is wet it should be changed to prevent their bottom from becoming sore and red, however other babies only need to be changed before or after every feed. When a baby has done a poo, however, they will always need to be changed immediately to avoid nappy rash, which will only upset them (and you).

As soon as your baby is old enough to start squirming you might want to start changing them on a mat on the floor or in the middle of your bed for safety. And always make sure you have the following equipment to hand:

Changing mat

Clean nappy/liner and cover if reusable

Cotton wool or baby wipes

Barrier cream

Clean clothes

Bag for the dirty nappy/wipes
