Diaper rash and steps to prevent it




      Mother’s like their baby to feel good. When your baby is born the skin is gifted to be perfect in every way. The skin is smooth and soft. But as days pass on the skin gets affected by rashes. The main cause of rashes is done by the way diapers are used.  Diaper rash irritates both mother and the baby. It can be caused by the soap used in washing baby diapers. If the diaper is not removed after baby passes urine or stool it ends up in rashes. Once the baby is affected by the rashes we need to change the baby diaper frequently. The baby skin has to be left dry to cure rashes. The baby can be kept on rubber sheets covered with washable clothes. The baby has to be always clean and dry. When you change your baby diapers you should make sure that you dry the baby bottom completely with a clean towel. It is best to expose the skin to open air for a few minutes before putting on a new diaper. It is advisable to use a pediatrician recommended diaper rash cream or ointment. The widely used diaper rash creams are A and D ointment, Diapering, Destin and zinc oxide. You should dry baby diapers in open air. If the rashes have become red, raw or sore looking it is best to examine with a pediatrician.
