Here we are talking about the top 6 tips to deal with Diaper rashes that would make your baby happier and healthier:

  • Keep the babies, clean and dry
    Although no mom leaves babies dirty, but there are times when we over-look soiled diapers or delay the changing times. This often causes the skin to come in contact with germs resulting in rashes. Give them some free nappy time, and remove their diapers, so that the skin can breathe and the area becomes fresh and cool.
  • Check the diaper brand, fit and performance
    Each baby is different, so the sort of diaper that would be apt needs to be figured out. Avoid making your baby wear really tight ones, make sure the fabric is soft and causes no allergy to the delicate skin of your little charm. Always clean the diaper area with a soft cloth during each change. Pat the area dry and avoid too much of lotion as that would cause an increase of dampness.
  • Stock up on rash creams, gels and corn starch
    Yes, right we know there is no cooking going on here. But this is one secret that nearly half of us are not aware of. Pat dry the diaper area for your baby. Apply the prescribed anti rash cream, religiously over the rash and pat with corn starch that you can store in a powder box and apply with a puff.
    You would be amazed to see the rash disappear in as less as 3 hours!
  • Watch the rash
    Keep an eye over the kind of rash it is. In case it is turning bad, you must apply anti-fungal creams. They help in soothing the skin and clear out the infection.
  • Avoid an acidic diet
    Rashes can be aggravated even further due to citric juices and acidic food stuff, so they are best avoided if there is a rash. Instead you can offer foods like oats, whole grains; multi grains etc. to feed your baby and keep them healthy.
  • Oatmeal works wonders
