Diaper changing at night

The following tips will be useful for these difficult times:

• Before going to sleep, it is a good idea to gather everything you will need for changing the baby's diaper at the point where you will change it (diapers, baby wipes, cream, towels, underpads, clean clothes, etc.)
• Make sure the lights are dimmed in the room, as the sudden shift from absolute darkness to light may startle and wake the baby.
• If you choose to clean your baby with a towel, you should keep it in your hands for a few moments so that it takes your body temperature and does not startle the baby.
• Whisper a lullaby to keep it calm.
