When your baby is born, its skin seems perfect in every way. It is softer and smoother than it will ever be again. Then one morning you discover your child’s bottom is red and irritated.  What happened! What did you do wrong? Absolutely nothing!

All children can experience diaper rash.  Having a diaper rash is a normal part of being a baby. There are many ways you can limit the amount of rash, but from time to time it will flare up again. A regular application of Bums ‘n Roses® can heal a diaper rash outbreak and go a long way toward seeing another one in the future.

Why do babies get diaper rash?

It’s a combination of their ultra sensitive skin, chemicals from lotions and detergents, and the moisture found in urine and stools.  Cover this all up with a diaper that rubs back and forth, and you have diaper rash. This damaged skin is susceptible to the invasion of bacteria and yeast, which can make the rash worse.

Ways to prevent or minimize diaper rash

If your baby does not have a problem with diaper rash, then you don't need to be too strict with these preventative measures. However, if you are constantly battling rash, here are some helpful hints to minimize it:

1. Change diapers frequently - at least every two hours in newborns. You can space this out as baby starts to urinate less often.

2. Change poopy diapers right away - this is a lot of trouble at first since newborns often have small, frequent stools. This will slow down as baby grows.

3. Try different brands - if using disposables, another brand may fit a little better and cause less friction.

4. Rinse cloth diapers - add a half-cup of vinegar to the rinse cycle. This helps remove alkaline irritants. Your diaper service can also do this.

5. Cleanse thoroughly - be sure to wipe all the stool and urine away.

6. Use unscented wipes or just plain water - these are less irritating. You can even rinse out the wipes with water, although this takes more time.

7. Apply Bums ‘n Roses® whenever irritation or threat of irritation appears.
