To change a baby's diaper and apply cream, follow these steps:
Gather all necessary supplies: fresh diaper, wipes, diaper cream or ointment, and a changing pad or clean surface.
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before starting the diaper change.
Lay your baby down on the changing pad or a safe, flat surface.
Unfasten the dirty diaper and carefully fold it underneath the baby, but do not remove it completely just yet.
Use wipes to gently clean the baby's diaper area, wiping from front to back. Be sure to clean in all the skin folds and creases.
Lift your baby's legs and slide out the dirty diaper. Dispose of it properly in a diaper pail or trash can.
If your baby's skin is irritated or prone to diaper rash, apply a thin layer of diaper cream or ointment to the diaper area. Avoid using too much cream as it can make the diaper less effective.
Allow a few moments for the cream to dry before putting on a fresh diaper.
Slide a clean diaper under your baby, making sure the tabs are at the back and the front of the diaper is positioned correctly.
Dress your baby and wash your hands again after the diaper change is complete.
Remember to check your baby's diaper frequently and change it whenever it is wet or soiled to prevent diaper rash and keep your baby comfortable and clean.
