CHANGING NAPPIES
Before changing a nappy make sure you have everything you need within arm’s reach,
This includes a fresh nappy , baby cream , baby wipes , and some water.
Lie baby down on the change table… give her a favourite toy to keep her entertained.
Undress baby’s bottom half and unfasten the nappy.
Use the front of the nappy to wipe off any poo,then fold the nappy into a tight bundle to prevent any spillage.
Gently cleanse baby’s bottom using baby wipes….
To wipe the back of baby’s bottom hold him by the legs with your fingers between his ankles ,and gently lift so his bottom comes slightly off the change table…
Apply a dollop of baby cream to prevent against nappy rash,.
Open a clean nappy making sure the fastening tabs are towards the top,.
Lift baby up by the ankles and slip the nappy beneath her bottom…
Once you've dressed baby secure him in a bouncer or cot ,
dispose of the dirty nappy and wash your hands,.
Remember: ..never leave a baby unattended on a change table…
If you have to take your eyes off baby keep your hands on.
