✔️ Pat dry with a soft towel, do not rub.
2️⃣ During Diaper Changes
✔️ Use fragrance-free baby wipes or warm water.
✔️ Wipe front to back to prevent bacteria from spreading.
✔️ Change diapers frequently to avoid rashes.
✔️ Let the area air dry before putting on a new diaper.
3️⃣ After Pooping

✔️ Always clean from front to back to prevent infections.
4️⃣ Bath Time Cleaning
✔️ Use mild, fragrance-free baby soap (not daily, 2-3 times a week).

✔️ After bathing, gently pat dry.
