]]> 4401 1 40 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262/40.jpg Gather supplies Make sure you have all your supplies within easy reach. Once you start changing your baby, you won’t be able to go off in search of wipes.

]]> 4402 2 49 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262/49.jpg Spread cloth Spread the changing cloth out on the changing table, where your baby’s bottom will be.

]]> 4403 3 54 Tip Put down a fresh changing cloth after each change so you can skip this step.

]]> 4404 4 59 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262/59.jpg Remove soiled diaper Lay your baby on the changing table and remove her wet or soiled diaper. Set it aside.

]]> 4405 5 66 Tip Leave the dirty diaper open and within your reach. You can pile used baby wipes in it, then roll the whole thing into a neat, disposable bundle.

]]> 4406 6 74 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262/74.jpg Clean bottom Using as many wipes as necessary, gently clean your baby’s bottom, being sure to wipe from front to back. Be thorough, so there’s no hidden mess left behind.

]]> 4407 7 86 Tip Boy babies have been known to pee as soon as their diaper comes off. To avoid a soaking, lay a changing cloth over him as soon as possible.

]]> 4408 8 94 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262/94.jpg Slide diaper under Unfold the fresh diaper. With one hand, lift up your baby’s hips slightly; with the other, slide the back of the diaper—the side with the tabs—underneath her bottom.

]]> 4409 9 105 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262/105.jpg Apply diaper cream If your baby has a diaper rash, cover it with a generous amount of diaper cream.

]]> 4410 10 111 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262/111.jpg Fold & fasten Fold the front side of the diaper up and over your baby, and fasten it with the tabs so that it’s snug but not tight.

]]> 4411 11 119 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262/119.jpg Check edges Run your finger around each leg opening of the diaper to make sure the ruffled edges aren’t tucked up under the elastic. This will help prevent leaks.

]]> 4412 12 129 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262/129.jpg Put on clothes Put your baby’s clothes back on or dress her in a fresh outfit if needed.

]]> 4413 13 134 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/262/134.jpg Discard & wash Throw away the old diaper and thoroughly wash your hands or wipe them clean with a fresh baby wipe. Then enjoy a post-diaper-change cuddle—she may not smell this sweet for long.

]]> 4414 14 145 Fact A mom who created a plastic covering for cloth diapers out of a shower curtain went on to invent disposable diapers.
