How to diaper your baby?
对新爸新妈来讲，这可不是一个小问题啊。注意了，男宝宝和女宝宝有区别的哦~ 
Changing a girl
First, lift her legs with one hand and remove any poop with a wet washcloth. (Many new moms use baby wipes on their newborns with no problem. If your child’s skin reacts to the chemicals in wipes, you can use a washcloth or cotton balls and plain water when cleaning baby’s derriere during the first few weeks.) Using one area of the cloth at a time, clean inside all the creases, wiping downward. To clean the genital area, wipe from the vagina toward the rectum. Do not pull the labia back to clean inside. Dry the area with a soft cloth. Apply ointment around the genitals and on the buttocks to prevent diaper rash.
Changing a boy
One big difference for boys: Don’t leave the penis exposed — keep it covered with a diaper or you may get sprayed. Clean under the testicles, gently pushing them out of the way. Wipe under the penis and over the testicles, toward the rectum. If he’s circumcised, do not attempt to pull back the foreskin. Dry the area with a soft cloth. Apply ointment around the genitals and on the buttocks to prevent diaper rash.
If you had your baby circumcised, a light dressing of gauze and petroleum jelly was placed over the head of the penis. The penis will take about one week to heal. The tip will look red, and a yellow scab may appear, or you may notice a yellow secretion. For a few days, apply petroleum jelly over the tip of the penis every time you change your baby’s diaper. Circumcision sites rarely become infected, but if the redness persists beyond a week, or you see swelling or crusted yellow sores that contain fluid, call your baby’s doctor.

Moms’ Bath-Time Hints
I put some butterflies on the ceiling above the tub. When I want my baby to look up so she won’t get soap in her eyes, I ask “Where are the butterflies?”
– Alicia Lucio
Instead of pouring water on baby’s head, use a turkey baster to gently get his head wet and rinse the soap off.
– Elene Fox
I hang a plastic tub mirror on the wall so that my daughter can watch me shampoo her hair. I make funny hairdos with the lather. She loves it.
– Courtney Barton
I use the suds to make a horn on each of my two boys’ heads. They like playing monster with one another and don’t mind the shampoo.
– Kathryn Thomas
I use a plastic watering can on my son’s hair to wet and rinse it. I’m able to control the flow better and he likes to be watered so he can “grow.”
– Christy Farris
I let my daughter choose her own shampoo. I also let her her “help” rinse her hair with the cup. She doesn’t get as upset when she’s the one who puts water on her face.
– Kristi Russo
To keep from splashing into baby’s eyes, use the squirt bottle they gave you at the hospital.

一旦脐带脱落，就可以用婴儿澡盆给宝宝洗澡了。不过这时候他们一般不会太脏，一周只须洗几次就可以了。
1. Gather your supplies (same as for sponge baths) and fill the tub with a couple inches of warm water — it should be slightly cooler than your ideal temperature, as baby’s skin is more sensitive.
2. Gently lower baby into the tub as you support his head and neck with your arm.
3. Clean his face just like you did when sponge-bathing him.
4. When baby’s all clean, dry him while you’re still sitting, so you don’t have to stand from a kneeling position.
5. Apply lotion once baby’s dry — and breathe deeply.
换大澡盆：
当宝宝可以自己坐起来（大概6个月左右）的时候，就应该考虑换一个大一点的澡盆。
安全提示：
Don’t turn your back on your baby for even a second — babies can drown in just a few inches of water.
If the phone rings and you must answer it, take her with you wrapped in a towel. Better yet, let the answering machine pick it up.
Set your water heater to 120 degrees F. That way, if your baby turns the hot water faucet handle, she won’t get scalded.

擦澡用品：
Baby body wash (often can double as shampoo)
Two washcloths
A towel
A bowl of warm water
Several cotton balls
Lotion (optional)
A diaper
An outfit to change baby into
初次擦澡：
一般来讲，初生宝宝在脐带尚未脱落之前（如果是做了包皮环切术的男宝宝，在伤口愈合之前），是不能在婴儿浴盆里洗澡的。这段时间一般持续2周左右，而这段时间内，对宝宝只能采用擦澡的方法来进行清洁。
1. Wash baby’s face before you take off any of his clothing. Dampen a cotton ball or washcloth and wipe his eyelids from the inside corner out. Use one cotton ball for each eye. With another damp cotton ball, clean around his nose.
2. To clean outside baby’s ears, use a damp cotton swab or washcloth. Don’t clean inside baby’s ears; using a swab could puncture his eardrum.
3. To shampoo, support his spine and hold his head back slightly. Sprinkle his head with warm water and squeeze on a drop or two of soap. Lather, scrub gently, and rinse with a wet washcloth.
4. Dry baby’s head with a towel.
5. Now you can undress him and lay him flat.
6. Put a little bit of soap (don’t overdo it; newborn skin is prone to irritation) on a soft washcloth to wash his body.
7. When he’s clean, pat him dry with a towel, apply lotion if you like, and get him dressed.
擦澡要诀：
“Down there” care: If your son was circumcised, do not attempt to pull back the foreskin; in fact, until the circumcision wound heals, avoid using soap on the area. After the penis has healed, you can wash it as you would any other part of his body. Clean a girl’s genitals by wiping from front to back. Don’t use soap in her groin area; it may cause irritation.
Location, location: “Bathing my newborn on my bed (I put a towel on top of a plastic tablecloth) works well. I talk to her softly, play relaxing music, and she never cries.”
–C. Smith
Warm and dry: Newborns get cold quickly. Try to dry and cover with a towel the areas you just washed to keep your baby as warm as possible.

For the first week or two until the umbilical cord stump dries and falls off, you shouldn’t bathe your baby in a tub. A quick sponge bath every few days is sufficient. Keep the cord dry and exposed to air when possible during the day and swab it with rubbing alcohol at each diaper change to hasten drying. If the area turns red or the stump oozes call your doctor.
