Ask the pharmacist
Everybody knew about diaper rash, it is one of the most common skin problems for baby. Usually it occurs anytime or most common between 9-12 months becoz of wearing diaper.
How do we treat diaper rashes?
Remember ABCDE
A = air out the skin by allowing the child to go diaper-free to reduce skin contact with feces and urine
B = barrier; use a paste or ointment to protect the skin, apply thickly dont save, choose those without preservative, do not use powder becoz of inhalation risk
These two are my favouritesD = disposable diapers; during an episode of diaper rash, consider using disposable rather than cloth diapers, why? becoz disposable have a better absorption
E = educate; educate yourself about how to prevent a recurrence of diaper rash
If your baby develops fever > 38ºC or has bloody stool, constipation, diarrhea, frequent urination, or any other worrisome signs or symptoms, u should see your doctor especially if the baby develop blisters or sores.
So, far my baby have 0% rashes becoz we practice above methods. Hope this article can help for new father and new mother. Congratulations on your new born baby.
