A. Diapers are safe if you Maintain precaution. It is important to change diapers every two to three hours. Keeping the baby longer than this period with a used diaper can cause infections or rashes. When the baby passes stool, then it is a must to change the diaper immediately to maintain hygiene. After removing the diaper, don’t make your baby wear another diaper immediately. Allow his skin to breathe, let it be free for some time. Clean your baby’s skin with baby wipes or cloth after removing the diaper. You can apply any of -candid cream, or eazynappy cream, Sofirash cream or Himalaya's diaper rashe cream. All these help in curing rashes. maintain good hygiene. Vaseline before wearing diaper n keep baby diaper free for 1 to 2 hrs a day...diaper rash cream can itself cause rash...so dnt use it for prophylaxis...use it nly if rash is developing..U can use coconut oil also instead of Vaseline
