Change Your Nappy

Changing time is a great opportunity for face-to-face interaction. Show lots of smiles and expression on your face as you share this song while you change your baby's nappy. Soon your baby will associate the song with nappy changing and will know what is about to happen!

Sharing this song as you change your toddler's nappy is a great way to let them know what you're doing. Let them hold the clean nappy for you before you need it, giving them some ownership and responsibility during the nappy change.

Let your child hold the nappy or wipes as you share this song and change your little one's nappy to give them some responsibility. For children who are beginning to use the toilet or the potty you can change the words:

'Use the potty dear,

Use the potty dear,

Use the potty,

Everybody give a great big cheer.

Wipe your bottom dear.

Wipe your bottom dear,

Use the potty,

Everybody give a great big cheer,

Wash your hands now dear,

Wash your hands now dear,

Use the potty everybody,

Give a great big cheer.'
