Diapering your Baby: It is easy to become an expert at changing your baby's diaper -- just wash your hands, gather the following items and make sure you keep everything out of your baby's reach:
A fresh diaper: If you are using a cloth diaper, you will need either a clean diaper cover or pins and waterproof pants.
Baby-wash supplies: Diaper wipes or, if your baby is just one month or has diaper rash, cotton balls and warm water for cleaning and a small towel for drying.
Ointment: If necessary, for diaper rash (preferably one containing zinc oxide)
Cornstarch-based Powder: If needed, which should be applied to your hand and not shaken on your baby to prevent it from getting into your baby's lungs
Swaddling your Baby: The first few weeks in the wide-open world can be unsettling for your newborn baby who recently emerged from the closeness of the womb. Swaddling, or wrapping your baby in a blanket can help him feel secure as he adjusts to his new environment.
Swaddling is effective for the first few weeks after birth. After one month, swaddling, which inhibits movement, can restrict your baby's development. Do not swaddle a baby in an especially warm room because overheating is a risk factor. If your baby does not enjoy being swaddled, it is fine. Holding your baby in a sling-type carrier is another best way to help your child feel safe and secure.
