Changing a newborn’s diaper is an essential task that needs to be done regularly to maintain their hygiene and prevent discomfort or infections. Proper cleaning during this process is crucial to ensure the baby’s well-being. In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of how to clean when changing a newborn’s diaper.

1. Gather essential supplies: Before you begin, gather all the necessary supplies to ensure a smooth diaper change. These include fresh diapers, baby wipes, a changing pad or cloth, diaper rash cream, and a clean towel or washcloth.

2. Find a comfortable location: Choose a clean and comfortable space where you can change the diaper. Using a changing table or laying down a soft towel on a bed or floor can be ideal. Ensure that the area is warm and well-lit.

3. Prepare the newborn: Lay the newborn on their back on the changing pad or cloth. If the baby is wearing clothes, unbutton or unzip the bottom portion for easier access to the diaper.

4. Remove the soiled diaper: Gently open the tabs on the dirty diaper and fold them back. While keeping one hand on the baby’s lower abdomen, use the other hand to carefully lift the baby’s legs and buttocks off the soiled diaper. Slide the dirty diaper out from under the baby.

5. Clean the diaper area: Take a baby wipe or a damp washcloth and gently cleanse the baby’s diaper area. Start from the front for girls, wiping from front to back to prevent the spread of bacteria. For boys, clean the penis area gently, making sure to clean under the scrotum as well.

6. Pat dry: Use a clean towel or a dry part of the cloth to gently pat the diaper area dry. Avoid rubbing the delicate skin as it may cause irritation.

7. Apply diaper rash cream (if necessary): If the baby’s skin appears red or irritated, apply a thin layer of diaper rash cream to protect and soothe their skin. Make sure to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer for proper usage.

8. Put on a clean diaper: Open up a fresh diaper and slide it under the baby, ensuring that the back of the diaper is aligned with the baby’s waistline. Bring the front of the diaper up between the baby’s legs and fasten the tabs securely on both sides. Ensure that the diaper is snug but not too tight to allow for proper airflow.

9. Dispose of the dirty diaper and wash your hands: Fold up the soiled diaper and fasten it securely using the tabs to contain any mess. Place it in a lined trash bin. Clean your hands thoroughly using soap and warm water or a hand sanitizer to prevent the spread of germs.

10. Dress the baby: If necessary, dress the baby in clean clothes after changing the diaper. Ensure that the clothes are comfortable and don’t rub against the diaper area.

Remember, regular diaper changes are essential to maintain your newborn’s cleanliness and comfort. It is recommended to check and change their diaper every two to three hours or whenever it becomes soiled. By following these steps, you can ensure a clean and sanitary diaper change for your precious little one.
