How to Put a Nappy on a Baby Boy?

Putting a nappy on a baby boy involves a few key steps to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Here's a breakdown of the process:

Step-by-Step Guide:

Prepare the Changing Area: Lay down a changing mat or a soft, clean surface.
Gather Your Supplies: Have a clean nappy, wipes, and nappy rash cream (if needed) within easy reach.
Position the Baby: Gently lay your baby boy on his back on the changing area.
Remove the Dirty Nappy: Unfasten the tabs of the dirty nappy and lift his legs and bottom to slide it out. Fold the dirty nappy closed to contain the mess.
Clean the Baby: Use wipes to clean his genital area and bottom thoroughly, wiping from front to back.
Apply Cream (If Needed): If your baby has a rash, apply a thin layer of nappy rash cream.
Prepare the New Nappy: Open up the clean nappy and slide it under your baby’s bottom. Ensure the top of the nappy reaches his waist.
Positioning: Make sure the front of the nappy is positioned correctly over the baby’s genital area.
Fasten the Tabs: Secure the nappy using the tabs, making sure they are snug. The nappy should fit comfortably around his legs and waist.
- The tabs should be snug, according to the video reference.
Check the Fit: Run your finger along the leg openings to ensure that the nappy is not too tight or too loose. It should be snug around the legs and waist to prevent leaks but not restrictive.
Final Check: Give a light tug on the nappy to make sure it is properly fastened and comfortable.

Always keep one hand on your baby when changing him.
Have all your supplies ready to go before starting.
Distract your baby with a toy or song during the change.
Check the nappy frequently and change when it’s wet or soiled.
Ensure the nappy tabs are snug for a good fit, as advised in the video reference.
