Changing a baby
The most important means to avoid harming your back while changing a baby is to ensure that you have a changing station of the appropriate height. If it is too low (below your waist) you will be forced to bend forward from the waist. The correct height is approximately waist high and allows you to manoeuvre your baby without having to bend much (Figs. 7A and B).
