[blparent] Diaper Rash

[sharon howerton]

Diaper rash is very tactile. It feels bumpy. My sons are adults now and they 
had it only maybe once when each of them was that young. They used cloth 
diapers then so it was easy to tell when they were wet. I am not experienced 
enough with disposable diapers to tell, but just clean the baby's bottom 
whenever you change her and especially clean the part between her legs at 
the top. Keep him/her clean, dry her off if you have to use soap and water 
to clean up #2 and she should be fine. Also I teach a parenting series for 
Hadley, and this is a topic we discuss.
And if your sister's baby is a boy, put something over his front when you 
take off his diaper. The air seems to stimulate little showers and will 
surprise you if you aren't expecting it! :)
Good luck.
Sharon
