Another word for nappy change?

Question

Hi. I am not a native speaker of English, but for a couple (friends) I am currently translating the medical journal for their baby, who is ill, and the English-speaking specialist who will treat her, wants the baby's history in English.

Is there a word for nappy change/washing in English, a word nurses would use?

Hope you understand what I mean. I'm looking for one word for the whole procedure.

Anyone..?

Answer 1

Diapering!  :)

Answer 2

Here in the UK we tend to refer to 'nappy changing' or simply 'changing' (ie changing a baby means to change his or her nappy).  I don't know of a more technical term.

In North America they refer to diapers rather than nappies.

Answer 3

No, not that I know of. In childcare we also call it nappy change

Answer 4

diaper changing

Answer 5

What you are writing is fine anyway....just don't forget that some countries call nappys diapers.....

Answer 6

Diaper change is what we call it over here in the US.
