How to Change a Squirming Baby…

When I was pregnant I was totally clueless.  I mean I have six brothers and sisters that are all younger than me, but none of our friends had kids so I had no good advice from anyone.  I knew the basics of course of taking care of a baby but the whole pregnancy was all new to me.  I remember reading book after book and scouring online forums on advice and posting questions.  Like I had no clue you shouldn’t eat deli meat when you were pregnant.  Or that your water doesn’t always break for you to be in labor.

When our first child came I learned quickly how to work with one hand around the house.  I could change a diaper, cook a meal, do laundry, and just clean up all while holding my baby boy.  Once Aidan got bigger changing him while squirming was a new challenge for me.  I worried that he’d squirm right off the changing table or his diaper contents would get all over!  Quickly I learned to hold his tummy with one hand and work fast!

Walmart has come out with a new website called Baby Steps.  It features videos and product suggestions for all your baby’s needs.  Like if you go to Changing a Diaper and filter in your baby’s age and weight, it will pull up diaper changing solutions and then Huggies recommended products.  Baby Steps is a great resource whether you are a new mom or just need a refresher!
