Ways to make diaper changes extra special for your little!
-If they are just getting out of the shower or your putting them into a diaper instead of changing them out of a dirty one, use an extra soft blanket instead of a plastic changing mat. So long as it won’t get dirty from their accident, it’s a great way to make them comfortable.
-Ask your little lots and lots of questions! Do they know how many toes and fingers they have? Can they name the parts of the body you’re wiping or what each diapering item is? What was their favorite part of their day so far? Questions give a little the opportunity to express their littlespace through their voice!
-Restraints may sound like a punishment but they add to a little’s natural helplessness! Just using a chest strap ensures they won’t roll around, but strapping down appendages to the table will let them know that you’re able to take care of them so well they don’t even need to move.
-Baby oil and/or powder is a must! Maybe during their diapering you can give them a full body baby oil massage to drive an infantile scent deep into their skin and keep them exposed and helpless for an extended period of time.
-Change your little on an elevated surface, and lift them on to it if you physically can. Being able to change a little without too much bending is better on your body anyway, and your little will feel extra infatilized knowing they have a spot dedicated for cleaning their stinky bum!
-Make LOTS of comments about their diapers! Tell them how many accidents they’ve had today, ask them how many have been poopy and pee-pee diapies, or how full their diaper pail is. Read off the descriptions of the diapers to let them know what it can do, or what the scent of their lotion is.
-Have different diapers for different situations. By picking out from a selection of diapers, such as thinner daytime diapers or super thick night time ones, your little will feel as though you know what’s best since you’ve taken on that agency.
-Take the time for extra contact, such as tickling, blowing raspberries on their tummies or some light spanking if they enjoy that. Make diapering a time for love instead of just a chore!
-A diaper change isn’t complete until the clothing matches the padding! Punctuate a diaper change with appropriate clothing, such as shorts with an elastic waistband, a onesie or overalls and let them know how much easier a diaper change will be while they are wearing it.
-If your little feeling sickies, it’s time for doctor daddy or nurse mommy to take care of their little one! A diaper change gives you the chance to take their temperature rectally, give them a suppository if they are constipated or apply some vapo-rub to their chest for their congestion.
