How to Change a Nappy

Based on content from Johnson & Johnson's Baby Care Basics: Practical Tips for Parents-to-Be.

Changing your baby's nappy is an important skill you'll want to master right away. It's part of a simple, loving regimen of care you can provide for a healthy start for your baby. Needless to say, you'll be putting it into practice quite often!

You can change your baby on a changing table or on any surface covered with a changing pad or towel. It's important to have all the supplies you'll need within reach before you begin. NEVER leave your baby alone on a bed or changing table, even for an instant.

Many first-time parents are surprised by how many nappies they go through in a day. To make life a little easier for yourself, have plenty on hand.
