[blparent] changing dirty diapers

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Don't be afraid to touch.  Using your hands won't hurt anything.  You can 
always wash them, and your fingers will let you know when your baby is 
clean.  You can feel mostly through the wipe as you wash the mess away, and 
it usually takes only one or two wipes unless the baby has a serious case of 
diarrhea.  If she does, or if there is a lot of soil, you probably want to 
put on ointment with your fingers anyway once she is clean.  But again, 
don't be afraid to touch.  A lot of men, blind or sighted, are timid about 
getting hands-on with their babies too much, especially their baby girls, 
but there is absolutely nothing wrong with proper touching when it comes to 
baby care, or plenty of affection.

Hi everyone,

Do any of you have any suggestions on how to change soiled diapers and make 
sure that your baby is sufficiently clean? Changing wet diapers is not an 
issue and something I do regularly, but I am nervous to do the same thing 
when my baby soiled her diaper, because I am not sure how to be certain that 
she is clean especially without using a whole box of whipes. I have a girl 
so of course I am aware that you should whipe from front to back in order to 
prevent infection, but babies don't always leave their mess in one tidy 
place ready for you to just whipe it away.

Any tips or resources would be greatly appreciated.

Niko Carpenter
