Baby Diapering for Dads: A Gentle, Confident Start

Baby Diapering for Dads: A Gentle, Confident Start

Gone are the days when diaper duty was seen as just “Mom’s job.” Today, more dads are stepping in with love, care, and confidence—and we’re here for it.

At Bunnies, we believe every parent, no matter their experience level, deserves to feel supported. Whether it’s your first diaper change or your fiftieth, this guide is for you. Designed with new dads in mind, it's simple, practical, and focused on what really matters: your baby’s health, comfort, and sleep.

Because when your baby is clean, dry, and happy—you feel more confident too.


💡 First Things First: Why Diapering Matters

Diapering isn’t just about cleanliness. It’s a vital part of protecting your baby’s sensitive skin, supporting uninterrupted sleep, and helping them feel secure through all those early months of growth.

With the right tools and know-how, diaper time can even become a calm bonding moment between you and your little one.


🧼 What You’ll Need at Diaper Time

Before you begin, make sure your diapering space is stocked and safe. Here’s a quick list of essentials:

  • A clean changing surface (changing table, mat, or bed)

  • Bunnies Diaper in the correct size

  • Soft wipes or cotton + warm water

  • A diaper rash cream (gentle and pediatrician-approved)

  • A change of clothes (just in case!)

Tip: Try to keep everything within arm’s reach so you never have to leave your baby unattended.


👶 How to Change a Diaper—Step-by-Step

Even if you’ve never done this before, don’t worry. Here’s a simple step-by-step that’ll help you breeze through:

1. Wash Your Hands

Start clean to keep your baby protected.

2. Lay Baby Down Safely

Place your baby on a flat, secure surface. Always keep one hand on them if you're reaching for supplies.

3. Open and Remove the Used Diaper

Unfasten the tabs, lift baby’s legs gently, and wipe front to back. Fold the dirty diaper under (clean side up) if needed for an extra barrier.

4. Clean Thoroughly

Use baby-safe wipes or warm water and cotton. Be extra gentle—especially for newborns.

5. Let the Skin Breathe

Give your baby a few seconds of airtime before putting on a fresh diaper. This helps reduce the risk of rashes.

6. Apply Rash Cream if Needed

Only a light layer is needed. Always check the label and use baby-safe products.

7. Slide On a Fresh Bunnies Diaper

Position the back waistband under your baby (just above the bum), bring the front up, and fasten the tabs snugly—but not too tight. You should be able to slide two fingers comfortably inside the waistband.

8. Check the Fit

Make sure the leg cuffs aren’t tucked in and the diaper sits well under the belly button. A good fit helps prevent leaks and blowouts—especially during naps and overnight sleep.


💤 Diapering and Better Sleep Go Hand-in-Hand

A well-fitting, high-absorbency diaper isn’t just about cleanliness—it directly affects how well your baby sleeps. Overnight leaks and discomfort are top reasons babies wake up frequently.

That’s why Bunnies Diapers are made with:

  • 12-hour leak protection to support longer sleep stretches

  • SoftDry+™ Core that locks in moisture and keeps skin dry

  • Breathable, plant-based materials that are free from harsh chemicals

  • Hypoallergenic layers to protect your baby’s skin during those long night hours

Because fewer wake-ups mean more sleep for both of you. And more rest makes everything feel a little easier.


🙌 Diapering Tips Just for Dads

Here are a few bonus tips for dads who want to master diapering with care and confidence:

💬 Talk During Diaper Time

Your voice is soothing—even during messy moments. Talk, sing, or make silly faces to help your baby stay calm.

👃 Don't Fear the Poop

It’s natural. It’s normal. And with a good diaper (hey there, Bunnies), most of the mess stays exactly where it should.

⏰ Stay Consistent

Try to follow a rhythm—especially at night. A consistent routine helps your baby sleep better and reduces surprises.

🤝 Teamwork Wins

Some days will be easier than others. Share the load, support your partner, and remember: every diaper change is part of the bigger picture of care.
