Diaper changing is a messy sport. I am constantly trying to prevent an impending disaster from taking place. Oftentimes, it's more convenient to change Emily on the couch or on the floor instead of the changing table. I don't always have my favorite waterproof changing pad handy.
So my mother suggested to just slide the new diaper underneath the old diaper before I change my baby. I know it sounds so simple but it has made changing diapers a relatively stress free process. The new diaper catches any spillover or mid-change pee from soiling my furniture, carpet, blanket or whatever is underneath.
This is also great for public changing tables in case you forget your changing pad. Your baby's bottom will be protected from the germ saturated surface by the new diaper underneath!

TIPS FOR HAPPY TUMMY TIME
Getting a baby to spend 50% of the time she is awake on her tummy is a daunting task for any parent or caretaker. It's especially difficult when your baby despises being on her stomach. Here's a couple of tips to help make tummy time more productive!
- Try doing tummy time on the dining room table or bed for easier face to face time. It's boring to always look down at the floor. On a higher surface, there are so many interesting things for the baby to see. Put a yoga mat or a towel down first to make the surface comfortable and supervise at all times!
- Clothes hamper natural body movement and make tummy time more cumbersome for the baby. Get your baby down to just her diaper or no diaper on a waterproof mat and see how much more mobile she is.
