Taking Care of Diaper Rash

Is your baby's bottom in need of some tender loving care?

Having a diaper rash is a normal part of being a baby. There are many ways you can limit the amount of rash, but from time to time it will flare up again.

Taking excellent care of your baby's skin and keeping your baby's diaper dry is a great start. Let's take a closer look at some common rash ailments and what you can do about them.

Step 1. Skin Care 

New parents worry about a crying baby and feeding schedules, but they often don't think about baby skincare like they should. Babies have incredibly soft skin, and that is one thing that parents find to be very comforting.

There is that baby smell that helps bond parents with child, and the wrong skincare can alter that smell for some people. Some even say that baby smell will alter with products used, and that smell will be the one that parents recognize for years to come.

Step 2. Baby Lotion 

Keeping baby skincare products around the house is a good idea. I always slathered my daughter with baby lotion. I'm not really sure that was necessary, but it always seemed to be soothing for her. Perhaps it is a form of baby massage, and that is why it calmed her down so much.

Some of these lotions come with the lavender scent that is said to relax the baby, but I think it works more to soothe the parent. Either way, it's a great idea to get some. Both baby and new mom could use some calming scents during the first two months of life.

Step 3. Change That Diaper 

The most important part of baby skincare is the bottom. There are many problems that can happen with the diaper area.

A rash is most commonly caused when the urine comes in contact with the bacteria in the feces causing a amonia to form which in turn burns the skin (aka causes a rash).

Some parents are luckier than others and they don't have many problems, but most babies will have at least one rash before they outgrow the diapers. The best form of baby skincare in this case is prevention. Keeping the diaper changed when needed will go a long way. If a child is in daycare or other care, make sure the providers are aware of your changing timetable when baby skincare is not completely in your hands any longer.

Step 4. Powder the Dupa 

I used powder on my daughter every single time that I changed her, and often used lotion that kept moisture away from the skin. This worked quite well for us, and she rarely had an issue with diaper rash. She never had a bad rash, but there were time when she would get red and irritated. Good baby skincare tips from mom always helped clear this up rather quickly.

You can use whatever products you want, as long as they are safe for baby. The most important thing is diligence. There are a few times when rash is a medical issue, and might need medical intervention. If a rash keeps occurring even though you have been using proper baby skincare, take them in to see the doctor for help.
