As new parents, there are a lot of things that make them anxious and changing baby's nappies tops the list. New parents, however, practice changing disposable nappies on dolls and soft toys. However, changing babies' nappies can be cumbersome as babies begin to move around by four months.
New parents will find all the answers on how to change nappies, how often to change, benefits, side effects, and how to prevent diaper rashes in babies.
Disposable diapers for babies are made of a porous film containing wood pulp, plastics (including the SAPs now in most diapers), tissue paper, and polyester nonwoven fabric. The nonpermeable film is made of polyethene, polypropylene, adhesive, hook tapes, etc.

The disposable diaper should be changed before bedtime to prevent the baby from waking up with a heavy diaper and rashes.
