You may also have the eagle-eyed young parents watching your every move to see that you do it right. Try to take any helpful advice with equanimity. ‘No, Dad, not like that! You’re putting it on back to front’ – ‘Mother! Watch out! He’s peeing all over you!’ Such remarks are just part and parcel of the re-learning experience.
Tricks of the Nappy-changing Trade
To put the changing mat on the floor is probably best because then there is no risk of the baby falling, though you may prefer to use a changing table (in which case, don’t turn your back for a second – even with a new, supposedly helpless baby).
You will need:
a clean nappy
a nappy-sack to receive the soiled nappy
a bowl of warm (but not hot) water
cream
cotton wool
tissues or kitchen-roll
a toy for the baby to look at or hold
What to Do:
1 Get the above ready and in easy reach before you begin.
2 Lie the baby on the mat, talk gently or sing and give it a toy to look at or hold.
3 Undo the tabs of the soiled nappy, one at a time, being careful still to hold the front of the nappy over the baby’s genital area (babies will often pee at this moment – and boys can get you in the eye).
4 Now fold the front of the nappy under the baby’s bottom, covering up the wet or soiled area. Alternatively, you may want to remove the nappy entirely and put a piece of clean kitchen roll under the baby’s bottom.
5 Moisten the cotton wool and wipe gently all over the tummy area and leg creases. Use clean pieces as necessary. With a boy, now wipe over and under the penis and scrotum. With a girl, always wipe from front to back, using a fresh piece of cotton wool if you have to wipe the front again. There is no need to part the labial folds – just wipe carefully over them. (Don’t worry, it will all come back to you, unless of course you didn’t do it first time around, grandpas!)
