Diaper Changing Checklist (0-3 month)

List of things that I find useful for changing diapers
  • Disposable diapers - roughly 70 per week
  • Diaper disposal system + disposal liner refills - might just keep diaper bag next to bed and system in bathroom
  • Changing light
  • Clean / fresh change of clothes
  • Wet wipes + wipes warmer
  • Soft tissues
  • Changing table + changing pad
    • Typically I layer it: changing pad -> mattress protector (easier to change) -> soft cloth sheet
  • Burp cloth / tissues
  • Baby rush cream

Procedure:
  • Prepare gear
  • Place infant on changing table
  • Remove cloth to provide access
  • Place clean diaper under dirty
  • Open dirty diaper for a few seconds to let cold air in and wait for baby to pee
  • Pull legs up or roll baby to a side to remove dirty diaper (you can also use clean part of diaper to wipe)
  • Clean with wet tissue front to back only
  • Damp with dry tissue
  • Apply rush cream if needed
  • Fix diaper tight to prevent leakage, do not put over umbilical cord (bend it if needed)
  • Disinfect hands
