The first year of the baby is all about diapers. You lose track of the number of times you change diapers each day. However, diaper change is not just about diapers. You need several other products to make diaper changing comfortable and ensure that the baby’s skin remains soft and delicate. 

First-time parents will be amazed at all the products you need for a single diaper change. From keeping the baby’s skin clean, dry and soft, you need to ensure that you have all essential products in your diaper changing station. 

Let us look at a few of the must-have products for each diaper change:

Diaper

Diapers are available in different sizes, ranging from newborn to XL. The size that you select depends on the weight of the baby. The newborn size is available for 2.5kgs, increasing to small, medium, large and extra large. The weight changes depending on the brand. 

A few diaper brands you can try out are Pampers, Pureborn, Rascal+Friends, Nappy Premium, Huggies and Fine Baby.‍

Baby wipes

Baby wipes are a must-have to keep the baby clean and soft after a diaper change. Wet wipes are now available that are enriched with different extracts like chamomile, aloe vera, and grapefruit. Perfume-free wipes are also available if you want to go all natural. A few of the brands worth trying are Fine baby, Cool & Cool, Cetaphil, Hello Bello and Sebamed.

Cotton balls

Cotton balls are useful for cleaning the baby after every diaper change. Cotton balls are extremely soft and easy to use and do not irritate the baby’s delicate skin. The super absorbent quality of cotton balls leaves your baby clean and dry after every change. 

Nappy rash cream

Wetness can cause rashes on the baby’s skin. It is best to apply a nappy rash cream after every change to keep the nappy area free from rashes. 

Nappy bags

Nappy bags are used to dispose off the soiled nappy after every change. These bags are fragranced and hence can neutralise the unpleasant odour.
