A. Baby diapering is very important where specific precautions are necessary. Baby skin is very tender and soft specially in the genital area where frequent urination and motion may be a increase risk factors for bacterial infection . you need to change the diaper frequently in such condition to avoid prolonged contact and friction which can cause rash . A regular mousturisation with a petrolium jelly or a diafper rash cream is required . try to use disposable dtiapers as they are better absorbent than cloth one. Dont use diapers all the time for 24 hrs. keep some diaper free interval .

A. Clean the skin with warm (not hot) water or very mild soap. Let him or her go without a diaper when possible to let the air dry the skin. Try placing your baby on an open cloth diaper during naptime. (Check the diaper shortly after your baby falls asleep and replace it if it's wet.A mild hydrocortisone (steroid) cream.An antifungal cream, if your baby has a fungal infection.Topical or oral antibiotics, if your baby has a bacterial infection.Change diapers often. ...Rinse your baby's bottom with warm water as part of each diaper change. ...Gently pat the skin dry with a clean towel or let it air dry. ...Don't overtighten diapers. ...Give your baby's bottom more time without a diaper. ...Consider using ointment regularly.
