Sounds silly but when I was pregnant this was something that I was a bit iffy about. I was worried that I would gag and wouldn't be able to do it, but when the time came to changing nappies for real I managed it.
As a mum you worry, have I put the nappy on right, or is it too tight and going to make them throw their milk back up.
One thing to remember with nappies is they grow so fast, it's a good idea to have a stock pile of a few different sizes, so that there is no drama when nappies aren't big enough. I personally love Pampers as they are always really nice and roomy and the wetness indicators are brilliant when you are getting used to when you're little one has filled their nappy.
When changing a little boy's nappy you can sometimes end up covered and I have lost count of the amount of times my son has peed on me. However I learnt from the midwives a really good tip, that when you have undone the nappy you put the front piece back over for a few seconds before changing them, as it's the cold that makes them fire pee.
When dealing with the latter the use of toilet roll is really handy for taking the worst of it off before using the wet wipes.
Sudocrem is brill for nappy rash as it brings the redness down quickly and soothes the irritation.
On a whole nappy changing can either be hard work or really funny, especially when you're little one starts to laugh when they have peed on you.
