How to get rid of Diaper Rashes?
Applying little bit Vaseline before wearing diaper helps
I prepare a simple paste at home and I call it my magic lotion.
Just mix equal quantities of vaseline, coconut oil and olive oil and mix it well till it becomes a nice paste and store it in any air tight container.
Now for rash care:
1. Make sure you change the diaper as soon as a baby poops. Do not leave a dirty diaper on for too long if the skin has rash.
2. Try to use water to wash the baby instead of wipes (at least for as long as the rash is there). If goin to the toilet to wash the baby is too much work then bring a bowl of water to the room and use cotton balls or tissues to wet and clean the baby's bum.
3. And the most important part is to NEVER put the diaper on wet skin. Make sure the skin is dried well. blow on it if u have to or use a tissue or cotton cloth to make it dry and then generouslt apply the paste prepared before every diapering and then put the diaper on.
4. NEVER put powder in the diaper area as it crystalises and irritates the skin and worsend the rash.
5. Avoid chemicals/diaper creams. use natural products. once before i came up with my magic potion, i had removed my baby's diaper, put him on his tummy a rubber mat, applied a thin layer of patanjali's aloevera gel and let his bum be open all night. he was fine by the morning.
Follow these steps every time u diaper the baby and u will see results very soon.
