How To Put Diaper On Newborn With Umbilical Cord
You'll be changing a lot of diapers, so it's important to learn the drill early on. With today's modern disposables, it can be nearly impossible to tell by touch if your baby's diaper is wet. Try and plan on changing your little one after every feeding at first, as well as after every bowel movement. While her cord is attached, use the notch-cutout diapers (such as Pampers Swaddlers), and try to keep the area clean and dry.
Here Are A Few Helpful Diapering Tips
If you have time after a diaper change, especially before bedtime, your baby might enjoy a gentle baby massage to help soothe them. Just make sure you are extra gentle around the umbilical cord area.
When It Comes To Taking Care Of Your Baby's Umbilical Cord, Keep These Guidelines In Mind
FYI: If you start to experience frequent leaks or diaper rash, it may be time to move up to the next biggest diaper size.
No matter where you are with your little one, learn how to change a diaper in different scenarios.
