Nappy Changing Tips

Changing your baby’s nappy may not be yours or their favorite task of the day, but for new mums knowing when or how to change is a whole new ball game. Newborns can need changing up to 12 times a day, so it is important you know what you’re using and doing to keep that nappy rash away.

Some babies need frequent nappy changes whilst others don’t, it depends on how sensitive their skin is. Babies with sensitive skin need changing as soon as they wet themselves whilst little ones with normal skin can wait to be changed after each feed. It is important to note that all babies need changing as soon as possible after they have done a poo.

Nappy changing essentials.

• A few clean spares: When changing nappies, it is always useful to have spares in case of emergencies – the more the merrier! We recommend using hypoallergenic nappies that are made without chlorine bleaching to reduce the risk of allergy and nappy rash.

• A clean packet of baby wipes: Whether you prefer flushable (made from pulp, GMO free) or 100% cotton wipes, they are an absolute nappy changing essential. It is recommended to use hypoallergenic wipes that are fragrance free to keep that bottom smooth and clean! Not only are baby wipes essential for nappy changing but a can be super handy on the go for any unwanted spillages or marks.

• Change of clothes:In the circumstance that your nappy has leaked, it is ideal to have a spare change of clothes for baby to stay clean and fresh!

• Ointment:If nappy rash occurs, it is important to stay on top of it before it gets worse. It can be very sore and uncomfortable for your baby, so is important you treat it accordingly.

• A distraction:If you have a squirmy baby, changing a nappy is a task that can sometimes feel close to impossible – especially when out and about. It is good to have a favourite toy visible for distraction to get the job done! Singing and talking to your baby can help too!
