Babies have very sensitive skin, they can easily get rashes in their vulnerable parts. This might be caused by the weather change. But some babies have diaper rash from other causes. And most parents are annoyed when they notice this skin condition in their babies. They would like to know right away what is the best solution for this problem and also how to prevent it from happening in the future.

HOW TO DEAL WITH DIAPER RASH

First of all, to avoid diaper rash you need to change a baby's diapers frequently so that the old diaper will not irritate the skin. You have to check it before feeding and after, or in between feeding. And never forget to put diaper ointment on during every change. But if the rashes are there already, you have to buy a diaper ointment that can cure rashes. The best ointments for rashes that we've found are mild formulations that use calendula cream, and the next best are ones that use zinc.

The most popular two products (the ones you'll find in most baby sections of your local drug store) do not contain calendula cream. You have to really look for it or ask your pharmacist to order it. Calendula cream works by gently and naturally aiding in skin regeneration. (It works for irritated adult skin too.) Always remember that whenever you change the diaper be sure that you put thick ointment in it for fast recovery.

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR BABY NEEDS HELP

It is easy to tell if the baby needs help. Usually, they are cranky and fussy. And that makes the babysitter become alert; baby will be cranky and fussy if they are starving, not feeling well, or they have gas pains and wet diapers. Any attentive parent will sense that something is wrong. It's up to you, the parent, to discover what the problem is. In some cases it will be diaper rash. A redness indicates this is the problem.

HOW TO SELECT THE BEST PRODUCT

Selecting the best product is done by looking at the ingredients. It is very important that ointment have good ingredients in it so that it will not be harmful for the baby. We advise parents to read ingredients on ointments and food. Even if you don't do it for yourself, do it for your baby. They are more susceptible to injury by harmful ingredients. Manufacturers list ingredients so that you can judge whether the product is worth your money. If it has calendula cream it will do a baby's diaper rash a world of good.
