First time parents take weeks of mastering the art of diaper changing, or at least find a way to spend less time working on it. While diaper changing may not be every parent’s favorite task, it surely is convenient to know a thing or two on how to get the hang of it.
Every mommy usually has her own technique in changing diapers, and we believe you will too but until then, we would be delighted to shed some light and give you some helpful tips.
Here are 4 things to consider when changing diapers:
1. Set up the Essentials
Diaper changing is easier when you have everything prepared before it’s the changing time. Keep the diaper changing table clean and organized. And on the days out with your baby, a complete portable diaper changing kit will be handy. In fact, there are changing table organizers that can be a bag insert as well. Take a look at these cool mommy items:

Have everything stored here and you are good to go for any impulsive afternoon stroll and more.
2. Get Down and Dirty
Diaper changing is a dirty duty. Make sure to wipe well all traces of poop from your baby’s legs and other neighboring areas. Keep in mind that a newborn baby’s skin is very delicate. Also, wash your hands with soap after changing the diaper.
3. Baby’s Safety First
Buckle up your little darling. Especially when your baby is on the changing table, never leave your baby unattended. Always keep your eyes on him to avoid unexpected mishaps. If you need to change on the floor, you may do so. Changing on the floor may be the safest way, in case your baby is all hyperactive.
4. Sing and Make Faces
Tricking your little one in thinking diaper changing is a fun activity is not easy but a little effort in singing or playing around might be worth a try. Also, seeing your darling smile and giggle would make you feel less stressed during these kinds of mommy tasks.
*****
Motherhood brings both joy and challenges. The first few weeks may be the hardest but despite all those sleepless nights and effort in making things perfect for you and your baby, seeing your baby smile and grow every single day is a priceless gift you wouldn’t trade for the world.
