A. You can use diapers for a longer time interval of 6-8 hours but it should be of very good quality for example premium pampers, baby hug ,mothercare etc. but diaper free interval is also important in such a case.the diaper should be of correct size as per the weight. it will be better to use a good cream like ezinapi cream before making the baby wear a diaper or for rashes caused by long wearing of diaper. cotton diapers can also be used, it may help in reducing the diaper rash if any. If the diaper is full or if it is soiled it should be changed immediately lurwhich will help to prevent any kind of diaper rashes specially in summer season.diaper related hygiene is utmost important for preventing rashes and maintaining the baby skin health.

A. better to use cloth diapers during the day. Change the diaper every 2-3 hours. You will have to change it every time it gets wet or soiled immediately and clean the area with water. Pat dry after that. Use a good quality rash cream or coconut oil every time you change the diaper.apply a thick layer of diaper cream. Give diaper free time to your baby for a rew minutes everyday. Also try to use cloth nappy during the day and diaper at night or whenever required occasionally. Use the right sized diaper. Baby will be uncomfortable in a too big or too small diaper. Use super absorbent disposable diapers. Use a good brand diaper that will soak up well and not make the baby feel uncomfortable. Make sure you keep the diaper area clean and dry. Clean skin with baby wipes or water and pat dry.
