You must also never leave the baby unattended. To start with place the child carefully on to the mat, undressing the bottom half of the child’s clothes, get a clean nappy and open it up making sure it is the right way round, then unstrap the child’s dirty nappy, unfolding the front of the nappy, then gently grab the child’s ankles lifting their legs slightly up in to the air so the baby’s bottom is a couple of inches from the floor.
