Ways to Prevent Diaper Rash

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.
Change Baby Often
Change Baby's diaper often (eight to 10 times a day is normal).
Chances are good that your tot is going to experience diaper rash at one point or another. Learn how to treat it and when you should call your doctor.
Wash Baby's Hiney
Thoroughly clean and air-dry the diaper area at each changing. Sometimes sitting Baby in a few inches of lukewarm water does the best job.
Not Too Tight!
