The things your would need for your baby’s changing are:
Diapers
Diaper changing tables
Mild baby powder
Diaper rash ointments
Cotton balls
Baby wash cloths
Changing pads
Terry cloth towels
Baby wipe warmers.
You can use wither cloth diapers or plastic ones. Usually for newborns cloth diapers should be used.
Lay a fresh diaper on the changing table. Put your baby on the table with her tummy facing you. Then unfasten the soiled diaper and gently pull it out from beneath the baby while slightly raising the baby’s legs.
Clean your baby’s genitals and buttocks gently with baby wipes or cotton balls dipped in luke warm water. Then thoroughly dry up the area. You can apply mild baby cream and cornstarch powder if wanted.
Then pull the clean diaper underneath the baby and properly fasten the tabs of the diaper.
Most of the babies do get diaper rash at some point; do not be afraid or tense as it is very common in babies and will usually clear up soon. If your baby gets diaper rash on the genitals or on her buttocks or thighs, make sure you change her very often and that every time you do the area is cleansed properly. Rash cream may be applied where appropriate. It might be good to leave the baby without the diaper as often as possible as this helps in keeping baby’s skin dry and helps heal the rash faster.
