Ways to Prevent Diaper Rash
It's practically a parental rite of passage: opening your baby's diaper and seeing his sweet little bottom covered in red splotches. Welcome to the world of diaper rash. Before you start questioning your parenting skills (or running to the emergency room), remember that the rash is harmless if treated. Most babies get a diaper rash at some point but won't continue to get it once they're toilet trained.

What Causes Diaper Rash?
When urine and stool are pressed against the skin, they break down its protective barrier, resulting in an angry-looking rash. Some untreated diaper rashes progress to yeast infections; yeast thrives in warm, moist, dark environments. Fortunately, a diaper rash is usually simple to prevent and treat.

10/13/2011 06:58:21 AM Report AbuseMy son had a diaper rash at 3 months. When I noticed it, I IMMEDIATELY put Desitin on it. After it was gone, I used Vaseline mixed with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and he hasn't had one since. I suggest whatever you decide to use, make sure you use it ALL THE TIME and not just when you visiually see a rash. Just my opinion.
