• If there's faeces in the nappy, use the front half of the nappy to wipe the bulk of it off baby's bottom.

• Fold the dirty nappy in half under a baby, clean side up. To do this, lift baby's bottom off the table by grasping both ankles with one hand and gently lifting upwards.


• Clean baby's front with a damp baby wipe or cloth. If baby's a girl, wipe from front to back (towards her bottom) to prevent bacterial infection.

• To clean any faeces that remains, grab another wipe and gently clean her bottom. We can either lift her legs or roll her gently to one side then the other. Clean in the creases of baby's thighs and bottom.


• Let baby's skin air-dry for a few moments or pat it dry with a clean cloth, or with the towel that a baby is lying on. Apply a barrier cream or, if it's needed, a rash cream.
