Diaper rash is very common but should never be ignored as it can be quite painful. Wetness, irritation from urine and stool, or allergy to specific diapers can be some of the trigger factors.
What you can do:
- Expose baby's bottom to air as much as possible.
- Use plain water to clean his bottom especially when at home; reserve alcohol free wipes for trips.
- Apply diaper rash cream but don't pile it on; it can affect the absorbency of disposables.
- If a rash does not improve in two to three days, call your pediatrician.
