A newborn can have as many as eight to ten bowel movements a day, or as few as just one. Even going one day without a bowel movement is usually no reason to worry, unless she is uncomfortable or has a persistently swollen abdomen. Since changing diapers is probably one of your most frequent activities these days (second only to feeding), here are some tips:
To help deodorize the diaper pail, throw in a scented dryer sheet or two.
Create little mini-changing stations at several locations around your house so you don't have to run to the nursery for a quick change. Stock each station with a few diapers, wipes, a changing pad, and a few toys. Keep the items in a basket that can be stored under a table or bed.
Keep several diaper bags packed and ready to go with the basic necessities. This will save you from tracking down lotions, wipes, and diapers when you're trying to get out the door.
