Let's Make Diaper Changing More Fun!

Sounds ridiculous, right?It is very easy, you’ll see.

Diaper-changing is one way through which parents bond with their babies. It lasts just a few minutes, but this “ritual” enables both parent and child to have a quiet connection.

 The position of parent and baby during a diaper change helps too! 

You are leaning over your baby, and your face is at the perfect arms-length distance for engaging eye contact and communication. What’s more, this golden opportunity presents itself many times during each day; no matter how busy you both get. 

It’s too valuable a ritual to treat it as simply maintenance. Try to reconnect with the bonding experience that diaper changing can be — a moment of calm in a busy day when you share one-on-one time with your baby.

Diapering offers a perfect opportunity for you to truly absorb your baby’s cues and signals. You’ll learn how his little body works, what tickles him, what causes those tiny goose bumps. As you lift, move, and touch your baby, your hands will learn the map of his body and what’s normal for him. This is important because it will enable you to easily decipher any physical changes that need attention. 

Regular diaper changes create rhythm in your baby’s world and afford the sense that the world is safe and dependable. Your loving touches teach your baby that he is valued, and your gentle care teaches him that he is respected. 

The designs on the new Pampers Baby Dry diaper are now quite picturesque. 

This way, the diaper can serve as a distraction. Babies are little bundles of energy. They don’t want to lie still to have their diapers changed. They cry, fuss, or even crawl away. A simple issue can turn into a major tug-of-war between parent and baby. Let your baby play with a new diaper while you change him/her. The colourful designs on the diaper may appeal to your little one, and distract him long enough for you to change him.

During changing time, your baby is also a captive audience to your voice, just as you are to hers, so she can focus on what you are saying and how you are saying it — an important component of her language learning process. This is crucial to the growth of your relationship. Sing songs, tell a story using the fun pictures on the new Pampers Baby-Dry, blow on her tummy, or do some tickle and play. A little fun will take the dread out of diaper changes for both of you. A game that stays fresh for a long time is “hide the diaper.” Put a new diaper on your head, on your shoulder, or tucked in your shirt and ask, “Where’s the diaper? I can’t find it!” 

A fun twist is to give the diaper a name and a silly voice, and use it as a puppet. The more colourful the diaper, the more appealing it is to your child. Let the diaper call your child to the changing station and have it talk to him as you change it.

Time for you to have some diaper-changing fun!
