Change your baby's soiled or wet diapers as soon as possible and clean the area well.
Occasionally soak your baby's bottom between diaper changes with warm water. You can gently scoop the water over your baby's bottom with your hand or squeeze it from a plastic bottle.
Let your baby's skin dry completely before you put on another diaper.
Pat the skin gently with a soft cloth when drying it
Rubbing can irritate skin.
Change diapers often ideally every 2 hours or so and after every poop.
Applying diaper cream or ointment with each diaper change can help some babies with sensitive skin, but not all babies need this.
