Not all parents can correctly put on a diaper for a newborn baby the first time.
Instruction for young parents
Place your baby on a changing table on a clean diaper. It can also be a bed if you don't have a table.
Unfold the diaper and straighten it well.
Please note: the Velcro must be placed at the top edges and hang freely at the sides.
Lift the baby up by the legs. Take them by the shins with one hand. In this case, your specified finger should be between your heels.Do not lift your baby very high. Calculate the place so that you can put the diaper up to the buttocks with your other hand.
The diaper should reach the level of the baby's waist. However, if you lift it very high, you can damage weak neck muscles.
Then stretch the top of the diaper between your baby's legs. It should be properly fixed in the navel area.
Straighten the diaper again and place it on the baby's tummy.
Pull the Velcro straps out a little and secure them on the sides with a colored strip.
Now you will definitely not get confused how to put on a diaper for your baby.
