Ways to Prevent a Diaper Rash

Today's discussion is ways to prevent a diaper rash.

Diaper rashes are caused by a number of things such as irritation to the skin, fungal(yeast infection) and wearing the diaper to long. Diaper rashes can get worse and become very painful if not treated right away. Today I am going to provide you with three ways to prevent and heal a diaper rash.

Irritation: The skin gets irritated by urine, feces and or soap.To prevent the skin from getting irritated, apply a dime size of Aquaphor healing ointment to the infants bottom every diaper change.This is a preventive measure.

Fungal: Once the skin is infected, fungal (yeast infection)  has set in giving the skin a reddish  tint. Fungal is caused by the warmth and moister that has set inside the diaper. To heal this type of rash you can use your traditional Desitin diaper cream, but I recommend a good old fashion use of baking soda bath which is a  remedy my mother and grandmother would use to treat a diaper rash. Place one table spoon full of baking soda in warm water and let the infant sit for ten minutes.Then rinse the infant off'. Pat dry, then place ointment of choice onto the infants bottom,

Change diaper:Wearing a diaper too long can cause a diaper rash as well The simple solution to this problem is too change your infant every two hours or as needed.

Tell me what you think after trying these top three ways to prevent a diaper rash.
