Changing a Baby’s nappy
Organization of the task.
I washed and dried my hands, tithed my hair. Then I prepared the area where to change baby’s nappy. I was using changing table, so I put on a changing mat and paper. If I wouldn’t be using changing table I would lay a blanket, towel or changing mat on the floor or bed.
Then I gathered everything I will need-
Gloves.
A clean nappy.
Something to clean baby’s bottom like a baby wipe (moist cotton wool or soft flannel).
Barrier cream (or powder).
Something to put the dirty nappy in such as a bin (or plastic bag).
Implementation of the task.
I prepared the table and got all equipment.
I washed my hands.
I disinfected the changing mat and washed my hands again then put on the glows.
I laid the baby down on the changing mat.
I took of baby’s trousers.
I opened up a new clean diaper and placed the back half under baby. The top of the back half should come up to baby’s waist.
I unfastened the tabs on the dirty nappy. To prevent them from sticking to baby I folded them over.
I pulled down the front of the dirty nappy.
There wasn’t a poop, but if there was poop in the nappy, I would use front half of the nappy to wipe the bulk of it off baby’s bottom.
I folded the dirty nappy in half under baby, clean side up. To do this I lifted baby’s bottom of the table by grasping both ankles with one hand and gently lifting upwards.
I cleaned baby’s front with baby wipe and let the baby’s skin air dry for a few moments.
I applied rash cream (or powder).
I removed the dirty nappy and set it aside, out of baby’s reach.
I tidied the clean nappy under baby’s bottom, pulled the front half of the clean dipper up to baby’s tummy.
I checked if the dipper between baby’s legs is spread as wide as seems comfortable.
I fastened the nappy at both sides with the tabs.
Then I dresses baby and put it in a safe place (play room with other adult).
I fold up the dirty

    Cloth vs Diapers

    • 1176 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Diapers have been used by humans throughout history. But, the word diaper did not originally refer to its use. Instead, the term originally referred to a type of cloth with a pattern of small repeated geometric shapes. The first diapers were made of a special type of soft cloth cut in geometric shapes. The method of creating geometric shapes in cloth was called diapering, but it eventually gave the name of the cloth used in making diapers back in 1590s in England. Diaper is used on children who are not yet toilet trained to prevent bed-wetting and to keep babies’ skin clean and dry. While it was originally made of cloth material, several variations and improvements were made on the diaper resulting in the creation of disposable diaper. Unlike cloth diapers which can be washed and reused multiple times, disposable diapers are thrown away after use (Leverich). The boom of the disposable diaper industry suggests that it is more preferred by parents that its cloth counterpart. Parents choose what they think is best for their baby. Hence, while the use of disposable diaper has become a trend, it actually has a number of disadvantages that may want parents to reconsider using cloth diapers.…

    b. Why you may ask? It has Talc in it. Talc is closely related to the potent carcinogen asbestos. Talc particles have been shown to cause tumors in the ovaries and lungs of cancer victims. For the last 30 years, scientists have closely scrutinized talc particles and found dangerous similarities to asbestos. Responding to this evidence in 1973, the FDA drafted a resolution that would limit the amount of asbestos-like fibers in cosmetic grade talc. However, no ruling has ever been made and today, cosmetic grade talc remains non-regulated by the federal government. Talc is used on babies because it…
