How to Wear a Baby Nappy?

Published in Baby Care 2 mins read

To wear a baby nappy, secure it around the baby's waist and legs using the velcro tabs to create a snug and leak-proof fit.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

  1. Prepare the Nappy: Open the clean nappy and lay it flat.

  2. Position the Baby: Gently lift your baby's legs and buttocks. Slide the open nappy underneath, positioning it so the back of the nappy reaches approximately to the baby's waist.

  3. Secure the Front: Bring the front of the nappy up between the baby's legs.

  4. Fasten the Tabs: Pull the velcro tabs from the back of the nappy around to the front. Fasten them securely onto the designated landing zone, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. Make sure the nappy fits snugly around the baby's leg to prevent leaks.

  5. Ensure a Good Seal: Check that the elasticated edges around the legs are pulled out to prevent leaks. Run your finger along the edges to make sure they sit comfortably in the crease of the baby's leg.

  6. Adjust for Comfort: Make sure the nappy isn't too tight, allowing room for movement and breathing. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the nappy and your baby’s stomach.
