1. Prepare All Changing Supplies in Advance

2. Standard Steps to Replace Dirty Diapers

Lay the baby flat on the changing mat, gently untie the diaper magic stickers, slowly lift the baby's hips, take off the used diapers. When cleaning the baby's private parts, follow the principle of wiping from front to back, gently wipe off dirt, do not rub hard to prevent skin damage.
After cleaning, wait for the hip skin to dry naturally, evenly apply a thin layer of diaper care cream to form a protective film, isolate moisture and reduce skin redness and swelling.

 

3. Correct Wearing Method of New Diapers

Put the clean diaper flat under the baby's buttocks, adjust the front and rear position, pull up the diaper front end, fix the left and right magic stickers symmetrically, keep the tightness moderate. It is recommended to leave the space of one to two fingers at the waist, not too loose or too tight.

Most importantly, pull out the three-dimensional leak-proof leg guards on both sides completely, let it fit closely with the baby's thighs, which is the core step to prevent side leakage.

Newborn babies with unhealed umbilical cord can fold down the front waistband of the diaper to avoid squeezing and rubbing the umbilical cord part, which is conducive to wound recovery.

 

4. Reasonable Selection of Diaper Size

Diaper size selection should be based on the baby's actual weight, not simply judged by age. Too small diapers will strangle the waist and legs, leaving red marks; too large diapers are easy to loose and leak urine.

 

5. Scientific Replacement Frequency

Newborn babies within 1 month: change diapers every 2 to 3 hours during the day, replace immediately after defecation

Infants aged 1 to 12 months: replace every 3 to 4 hours normally

Toddlers: replace in time when the diaper is obviously heavy and saturated

Do not use diapers for a long time, long-term moisture immersion is the main cause of diaper rash.

 

6. Solutions to Common Using Problems

In daily use, leakage and red buttock are the most common problems. Side leakage is mostly caused by unfolded leg guards or inappropriate size; back leakage is usually due to too loose waist fixation or long replacement interval.

Once the baby has red hip skin, increase the frequency of diaper replacement, keep the hip ventilated for 15 minutes every day, and choose breathable soft cotton diapers to improve the skin condition quickly.
