How to Change a Fuzzi Bunz Diaper

Cloth diapers can help parents save a lot of money.

Prior to the introduction of the disposable diaper, cloth diapers were all that parents had available. Cloth diapers had all but faded into obscurity once disposable diapers become readily available at a price that every parent could afford. In recent years there has been a huge push for families to find more "green" methods of living. With this idea in mind, cloth diapers have seen a surge in popularity. These are not the same bulky, safety-pin using diapers that our parents and grandparents are familiar with. Cloth diapers, like Fuzzi Bunz, are comfortable, affordable, easy to care for, and can help parents save money. Fuzzi Bunz have a customizable snap-adjusted waist along with form-adjusting leg button holes.

Things You'll Need

• Cloth or disposable wipes
• Washcloth
• Diaper pail
• Clean Fuzzi Bunz diaper

Instructions

1. 

   Keep one hand on your baby at all times.

   Lay out your diaper-changing supplies prior to changing your baby, Tthis will ensure that you don't need to turn your back on the baby and risk him rolling off a raised surface. Remove the soiled diaper from your child and dispose of it accordingly. Cloth diapers should go into a cloth diapering wet-bag and disposable diapers should go into your diaper pail or directly into the trash.

2. 

   Talk to your baby to keep him from getting fussy.

   Lift your baby's legs up slightly to slide the clean Fuzzi Bunz diaper underneath his behind in the exact same manner that you would a disposable diaper. Cover the area that could sprout a leak while you are fitting the Fuzzi Bunz diaper as it could take several attempts to get the right fit.

3. Remove the elastics from their casings and place the front piece of the diaper into place in the exact same manner as you would a disposable diaper. Fit the two-snap side pieces across the front piece of the diaper and snap the buttons on to the front snaps that provide your baby with the most comfortable fit. The diaper should be snug to avoid leaks without being binding.

4. With the front snaps in place you will be able to determine which button hole will provide your baby with the most comfortable fit around his thighs. Snap the elastics into place and ensure that the diaper is secured to your baby.

Tips & Warnings

• If your baby experiences leaks after naps consider doubling up on the cloth inserts to provide additional absorption.

• If you are still having problems with leaks, consider adjusting the front snaps to a more snug fit.

• Use cloth wipes in lieu of disposable wipes to help save additional money.

• Wash your Fuzzi Bunz diapers and cloth wipes according to the manufacturer's directions. Failing to do so can jeopardize your warranty on the products.

• Only use approved detergents to clean your Fuzzi Bunz diapers in order to keep them in good shape. Using bleach and other harsh chemicals on your cloth diapers can void your warranty and damage the diapers.
