Use phone flashlight to create light that isn’t in the baby’s face
Have a step by step prep plan you usually follow when you change the baby, including setting out cotton , water, the next nappy etc.
Open up the nappy before you begin changing , take this time to orient it
If you’re going to change a poopy baby, consider if the water usually drips out everywhere and undress the baby to avoid this (may be difficult during winter)
If not, expose the least amount of baby
Wipe down changing surfaces after changing poopy baby.
If you’re still changing meconium, best of luck, that’s the worst kind
