How to Properly Wipe a Baby
When a woman becomes pregnant there are several “How to” books in order to take care of your infant. Even if a new mother has not had experience there are different places she can go to find the answer. What about the person who is taking care of an infant or toddler while mother is away? Does the babysitter or nanny now how to do these things as well? Many parents check nannies and babysitters for their qualifications before hiring them. One thing parents may want to consider in hiring a babysitter or nanny is whether they can correctly change a diaper. Correctly using wipes is a part of this. Here are some hints for those who are new to taking care of infants even if you are not a mother: Be sure to wipe the child from front to back. This is done to prevent infection. Even if a child has only wet him or herself, it is still important to wipe for the infants hygiene. It is important to use hypoallergenic wipes for the baby and make sure the wipes are intended for wiping a baby’s bottom. Other wipes could cause a rash or other health problems for the child.
