A. For treatment of rashes , avoid diapers altogether. maintain hygiene. expose the area to air. consult paediatrician if rash spreads, or is painful and pus filled. diaper rashes typically occur due to fontact of ammoniacal substances in urine with skin for longer time. also stools mixed with urine add up to that. hence creams ,oil serve as barrier between the two. also check that diaper is not too tight. also provide some diaper free time to your baby so that skin gets some air.

A. Avoid using diapers till the rashes are cured clean dry the area apply some coconut oil on the affected area or some baby powder on the affected area and expose to air for some time. Don't sprinkle put some on your hands and apply. Change the diaper after every 4 to 5 hours or if soiled and apply coconut oil before using the diaper give some diaper free time to the baby after every change use correct size
