More detailsDiaper changing involves replacing soiled diapers with clean, dry ones andcleaning the baby’s bottom. This is done 6 to 10 times a day during the first few months. Remember that changing your baby isn’t just about hygiene—it’s also a special moment of joy and bonding for your baby.
You should change your baby as soon as the diaper is soiled with urine or stool, even if you changed them just 5 minutes ago. This often coincides with mealtimes. In any case, you should check the diaper at least every 2 to 3 hours. If your baby cries because the diaper is wet or soiled, you’ll need to change it more often.
Your baby doesn’t like being undressed. At birth, they leave the liquid, overprotected intrauterine environment—where they enjoyed a stable temperature, curled up in a ball inside their mother’s womb. Your child isn’t yet used to moving around in the air. Throughout the pregnancy, he was in contact with the walls of the uterus; his back was supported, his knees were raised, and he could bring his hands to his mouth.
At birth, they are unsettled by the emptiness around them; they feel the pull of gravity and tend to curl up, hunching into a ball to return to their previous state. With a few gentle, precise movements, you’ll establish contact that respects their well-being. Keep in mind that changing your baby’s diaper frequently is the best way to prevent irritation or redness on the bottom.
During the first year of your baby’s life, you’ll change their diaper thousands of times. Diaper changes are essential for your little one’s hygiene. They should therefore be done as often as necessary to keep your baby feeling clean and dry. It’s also important to do them properly to avoid a red bottom—every baby’s nightmare!
Your baby needs to be changed up to 7 or 8 times a day. Their little bottoms are very delicate and can easily become irritated due to moisture, contact with urine and stool, and friction from diapers. They therefore require special care with every diaper change. Check out our tips for properly cleaning your baby’s bottom!
To prevent a red bottom, changing your baby frequently isn’t enough. Apply a diaper cream that protects the bottom from moisture and friction from diapers, especially if your baby’s bottom is already red. As a preventative measure or as soon as redness appears, it’s best to use a diaper cream specifically designed for this purpose.
If you’re using a “ water-based” cream, spread a generous layer to act as a barrier against the acidity of stool or urine. If using a preventive cream, apply a small amount and massage it in very gently. Certain times are riskier than others for your baby’s bottom, particularly when they’re teething or when their stools are a bit loose. During these times, use as much cream as you need—and don’t be afraid to use plenty—for your baby’s comfort.
