First of all, lay your baby flat on a table or diapers changing area. Make sure you have place a towel on the table as to avoid the table from getting dirty. If your baby is moving around, try to distract him/her by playing some musical toys or singing while unfastening the diapers. Once you have unfastened the diapers, use a baby wipe to clean the remaining urine and stools. Then, remember to use a dry cloth to wipe your baby's skin until dry. Do not keep it wet as this might cause infection later on.
It is advisable to keep an eye on your baby and observe his reactions to the new diaper you put him on. Here is a checklist which might help you buy your baby's diaper;
1. Buy a Small Pack at First: Do not buy big packs of diapers because your baby might not like to use them. You may end up burning your money to ashes. Purchase a smaller pack in the beginning.
2. Observe Your Baby's Skin Carefully: The diaper may react badly on the sensitive skin of your baby. Check if the baby's skin is developing rashes. It pays to know the nature of your baby's skin.
3. Go For Trusted Brands Only: Do not buy cheap baby diapers especially when you do not know about it. The diapers you choose must be medically tested before you test them on your baby itself.
4. Check For Performance: It is not you who will wear the diaper, it is your baby. Therefore you need to look closer and check whether it's convenient to your baby before you buy.
5. Compare Prices & Quality: Quality must be your utmost concern while choosing a diaper. However, if you find another product having same quality but lower price, go for it.
It's not a deal, if the shipping is to high. I know from experience I've seen sites advertise diapers for cheap prices only to find out once your ready to checkout the shipping is more then the cost of the diapers. So make sure you always compare the price per diaper including shipping to make sure it's a good deal.
If you have no budget concerns, there are some really top class diapers available in the market. These are made from PUL-fabric, microfleece, sherpa and even bamboo. They are extremely absorbent, soft, anti-bacterial and repel odour. And they are fitted with all types of loops and Velcro. They are available in unique prints and even have appliqué work. They are best fits, best felt and keep your baby driest and happiest.
So how many diapers does a baby use a day depends on the age of your baby and how often you plan to wash diapers. You will need fewer in each size as you baby grows. The type of diapers you choose will also influence the number of diapers you need.
