POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. To prevent diaper rash in a 3-month-old baby, it’s essential to maintain proper hygiene and create a protective barrier on the skin. Change the diaper frequently to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, urine, and feces, which can irritate the skin. Clean the diaper area gently with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap during each change, and ensure the area is thoroughly dry before putting on a new diaper. You can apply a thick layer of a barrier cream or ointment that contains zinc oxide or petroleum jelly to protect the skin from moisture and irritants. These products help create a barrier that keeps the skin dry and prevents rashes. Additionally, allowing your baby some diaper-free time each day can help air out the area and reduce moisture buildup. If diaper rash does occur, consider using a mild antifungal or hydrocortisone cream as recommended by your pediatrician, and always consult with a healthcare professional if the rash persists or worsens.
