Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Embodiments disclosed herein relate, in general, to a baby product, and more particularly, to a diaper changing article.


BACKGROUND

Baby diapering is an important task for every parent as a dirty diaper can irritate skin of a baby if worn for longer periods. While travelling, it is very difficult to find a clean place for changing the diaper of the baby. In case of emergency, the parents have to lay the baby down on any changing surface such as public washing slabs. However, no parent wants to put their baby on the public washing slabs that can cause infectious diseases. To avoid such issues, diaper changing stations have been developed in public washrooms where a parent can lay the baby down to change the diaper.


However, the public washrooms failed to provide enough diaper changing stations due to which the parents have to use the public washing slabs in case of an emergency. Further, while changing the diaper, if the baby urinates, then the urine can spray back onto the baby's body as well as spoil clothes of a person changing the diaper. Also, the diaper changing stations require a complete setup including diapers, a changing table, and so forth, which consumes a lot of space. In addition, some of the diaper changing stations are affixed in one place which restricts a use of the diaper changing stations at limited places only.


Therefore, there is a need for an improved diaper changing article that can stop a urine attack while changing the diapers in a more efficient manner.

At step 304, the diaper changing article 100 may be unfolded by the user to form the L-shaped diaper changing article 100.


At step 306, the diaper changing article 100 may receive the baby on the first portion 102 of the diaper changing article 100. Once the baby is received on the first portion 102 of the diaper changing article 100, the user may remove a bottom portion of clothes of the baby or lift the clothes up above a belly button to remove the already worn diaper. Upon removing the already worn diaper, let the private part breath while watching for immediate urine spray.


At step 308, the diaper changing article 100 may be used by the user to cover the private part of the body of the baby with at least one of, the second portion 104 of the diaper changing article 100 or with a new diaper if the baby urinates. Once the baby urinates, the user may use a non-wiping hand to pull a leg of the baby to bring the baby close to the user and the diaper changing article 100 for cleaning the baby. Further, the user may lift or tilt the baby sideways to cover the private part of the baby with the second portion 104 of the diaper changing article 100 while cleaning the baby.


At step 310, the diaper changing article 100 may be folded by the user upon cleaning the baby and putting the new diaper.
