Why not use Australian words? Nappies/poo?

[@EmmaHubbard]

@@ChumpyChicken2 My audience is from all over the world, so I try to use words that everyone understands / can relate to. Australians and Kiwi's know what nappies means, but when I use those terms there are lots of Americans, Europeans, and others who have no idea what it means. On the other hand, the vast majority, including Australians, understand the term diaper etc. so I use those to make my videos easier to consume for that global audience 🙂

[@invitado6262]

One of the most useful advices someone gave me about babies is to buy sleepsuits with zipper and avoid buttons. It can be very hard to button the sleepsuits because babies tend to move a lot . It's even harder in the middle of the night if you have to change their diapper and you are half asleeped

[@EmmaHubbard]

This is great advice! I avoid button or press stud onesies for this reason😂

[@wyaldkingdom]

Me too. The buttons are very small as well so adult size fingers have a harder time grabbing them to hold them in place.

a great tip we used at the beginning when our baby was younger and cried during bathtimes, was wrapping him in a light cloth which if I understand correctly helps him regulate the changes of sensations and cope with it more easily. Nowadays at almost 10 months, bath time is one of the highlights of his day! :)

Thanks for this video. I also use a size bigger for night that’s a good idea. Also, better do not close pamper too tight, for air circulation I always keep 1 centimetre extra before closing it.👍

[@intuitive_duck]

I used a wipe as a “peepee teepee.” Did the trick! I lift the legs, wipe bottom, wipe front, slide new diaper on. Done. I never liked layering the new diaper underneath because I was more likely to dirty it by accident.

Another trick is button all your ones and dress the baby from legs up. Instead of over the head. Makes it easier to wear and baby wouldn't be so fussy. I wash my lil girl clothes and when I fold I make sure all her ones are button up so when to dress her its just legs in and slide up.

Hi Emma I now have a baby boy of 6months (turning 7 months 09-July) I use to have TIP 2 problem , however now I have the problem.... As soon I am about to close up the new clean diaper (after bum cream) , he then urinates. It s been happening for the last week now. Just wanted share. hehehehe

Also, Q-tips are great for cleaning between fingers and toes (NEVER use for their ears!)

Amazing hacks. I tried the hack about flapping their diaper and also using the wet wipe on their belly and it totally worked on my boy.. thank you.. our home had turned into a laundromat due to constant accidental wees while changing him.

Sneak a portable washer into your home! Hands down the best baby gift I got since we don't have a washer and dryer.
