<human>: I'm a new mom. What is the proper way to change a baby's diaper?
<bot>: 
1. Start by making sure your baby is clean and dry before changing their diaper.
2. Place the baby on their back on a soft surface, such as a bed or blanket.
3. Gently pull down the baby’s diaper and wipe away any excess urine or feces from the baby’s buttocks and genitals with a clean, damp cloth.
4. Remove the soiled diaper and replace it with a fresh one.
5. Secure the diaper around the baby’s waist with safety pins or tape.
