Diaper Rash

Sassoo Said,

I have found Desitin does well when my baby gets diaper rash but what can I do to help prevent her from getting it in the first place.

Make sure your baby is completely dry before you put the new diaper on. Also A & D Ointment is good if the baby is just a little red but doesn't actually have a diaper rash.

TLM Said,

Make sure your baby is getting changed enough or the diapers you are using are keeping the moisture away from your babies skin.

You might consider a different brand of diaper, or if you are using cloth to switch to disposable.

LUCY Said,

The key to preventing diaper rash : every day after you baby has had a full diaper and you are confident there is not more right around the corner, just put a clean diaper under his/her butt. This will keep the air to the bottom. The key is air flow. You will not need cream or ointment if you try this before and/or after rash comes.
