Never changed a diaper?

Question

I have to babysit a 2 year old boy tomorrow, and I have absolutely no experience in diaper changing. I'm freaking out! Please help.

Answer 1

At 2, he'll be wearing pull-up pants already and it is much easier for you. just clean the area(using baby wipes), dry it(no baby powder) and put on the pant(like an underwear). good luck!

Answer 2

Here is what you do: If there is a changing table, lay the boy down on that or maybe they have one of those pads you set on the ground. if not use a carpeted area. Lay the boy down, what i usually do is open up a clean new diaper and slide it under him with the side with that two tabs under the 2 year olds bottom so you have the new one ready to put on. Take off the two tabs of the current diaper and open it up. If the little boy peed just wipe with a cloth a few times to clean him up and put the cloth into the dirty diaper and roll it up and use the tabs to close up the rolled up diaper. If the boy pooped you need to wipe his bottom really good because if you don't wipe it all off it'll irritate the boy. Put the wipes you've used in the dirty diaper and roll it up. Now you need to put the new diaper on. Since you already put it underneath him pull the side closest to you up around him and pull the tabs underneath him on top of the one in front. Put them on fairly tight so it stays but not where it may be too tight. You don't want the diaper to be so tight he has trouble moving around. And don't forget to wash your hands!  I hope that helped you for tomorrow!

Answer 3

here it is step by step:

1. Lay the child down

2. open the diaper that's on the child

3. With one hand take both of the child's feet and lift his legs in the air so his butt is just slightly off of the diaper

4. use a wipe to wipe from FRONT TO BACK, making sure that all urine and fecal matter comes off.

5. drop the now dirty wipe into the dirty diaper and roll up the dirty diaper

6. Take a clean diaper, open it up and sit the baby on the diaper so that the velcro/glued pieces are at his BACK.

7. drop his legs gently so that his butt is on the diaper

6. fold the front of the diaper up toward is stomach

7. use the velcro pieces in the back to velcro the back to the front

8. Throw the dirty diaper away.

It's a lot of steps but very easy. Since you are new to this change him on the floor, because you don't want him squirming away from you on a couch and tumbling down.

Good luck

Answer 4

it is just like putting in a tampon except in a different hole

Answer 5

Ask the child's mother/father to show you before they leave.

Answer 6

its not hard u just look at the one u are taking off and put the other one on the opposite of taking the other one off and dont forget to wipe even if its nothing there if he uses powder then use a little

Answer 7

Ok, all you have to do is: 1 check to make sure that the diaper is wet. 2 get a diaper and wipes 3 lay the child down and take off the diaper 4 wipe if a girl make sure to wipe from front to back. 5 put the diaper on, and strap the strap to the diaper. 6 throw the diaper away. Good job! Its not that hard.

Answer 8

Just make sure you get the area clean and then dry (air drying is usually sufficient). Once his bum and bits are dry, on goes the powder. Nappies are pretty user friendly, just make sure it's not too lose or too tight when you put it on him.

Answer 9

he is two and still wears a diaper? wellllll  just lay them down undo the straps wipe till he is clean. then put some baby powder. lift him up put the diaper under him then strap him up tight so the diaper won't fall off.

Answer 10

Don't worry, it really isn't as bad as it seems! I had never changed a diaper until I had my baby. The best thing to do is to ask the parents before they go to show you where the diapers and wipes are. Ask them to show you how to change the diaper. It is really easy once you watch someone do it. Don't use baby powder! New studies show it is not good to inhale. Good luck.

Answer 11

At 2 years old he might be wearing pull-ups.  They just go on like underwear.  If he is still in diapers that's not a big deal.  He will probably lay down for you to change him.  Open up the diaper, put the side with the sticky tabs under his tush, wrap the other end between his legs and fold it up to his tummy.  Then pull the sticky tabs up and tape to the front side.  You will get it...it's not hard at all.

Best of luck dear!

Answer 12

Not a big deal seriously... wipe the area he or she peed or pooped in and make sure the diaper is on secure... you will be fine I promise!

Answer 13

lol

Answer 14

Just relax and take it one step at a time, there shouldn't be that much pressure involved, dont forget the baby powder
