[blparent] Diaper Rash

[Jennifer Jackson]

This is a really good point, a little air is a big help for both preventing
and treating diaper rash. You might consider a little tummy time on a towel
with the little bare bottom. I used to do this after baths.

It did sometimes lead to some extra laundry, but my boys did seem to enjoy
being naked. :)

It feels like a sunburn.  If its really bad the skin will blister.  When my
two were little I would use the diaper cream at either the first changing of
the day, or after nap time to be shore.  Also, if your in a hot climate baby
pouter sprinkled on the bottom can wick moisture away to prevent a rash.
And if you're brave leave the diaper off for a few minutes before putting on
a new one.  But only do this if your very brave and are confident their
done.

HTH.

Hi
  I am sorry if this is a stupid question but I am just not really
sure how it all works :)  I am watching my sisters baby for a while
and she is about 3 months old.  My sister tells me she is prone to
diaper rash so I need to be on the lookout for it.  I am just not sure
how as a blind person would you spot diaper rash.  Is there a
difference in skin texture or does someone just put rash cream on
periodically just to be sure there is nothing.  Anyways thanks for the
help and sorry if this has been gone over in the past.  I am new to
this:)
