TIP:
Talcum
powders do nothing to protect against diaper
rash, and the powder can be harmful for baby's
developing lungs.
If
your baby has diaper rash, don't use commercial
baby wipes that contain alcohol. Soap is also
too harsh. Instead, when you're changing a
diaper, clean the skin with cool water and
then apply a soothing baby protection cream.

| TIP:
Some
diaper rashes are caused by a yeast called Candida
Albicans, which often causes problems when a baby
already has a diaper rash, is on antibiotics,
or has thrush. This rash appears bright red and
raw, covers large areas, and is surrounded by
red spots. Call your pediatrician for a special
cream to treat this rash. With proper treatment
these rashes are usually better in 2-3 days. |
