Diaper Rash IS A PAIN

By Julie Johnson

For some babies, diaper rash isn�t a problem. For others, diaper rash can be mild and for others severe. For whatever reason, it is important that your baby doesn�t suffer. Here are a few reasons why babies get rashes.

*A milk allergy either from formula or the breast feeding mother�s diet

*An allergy to detergent

*A diaper that stays on too long or is not sufficiently absorbent

*Antibiotics

*Thrush or a yeast infection

My second child had a bleeding rash off and on for 2-3 years. The one product that helped in this severe case was a skin paste called ILEX. This was a miracle for my son�s comfort, as well as his mothers. My other son rarely had a diaper rash and when he did, a popular diaper rash cream was applied and within a few days the rash was gone.

SOME HELPFUL TIPS:

If baby's bottom appears red and painful, avoid using scented wipies to clean. The wipie solution stings the bottom and baby will cry. I have used wipies only after washing them in warm water and rinsing out the solution. This helps but it isn�t perfect. Don�t ever wipe a sore bottom. Wiping will cause more pain. Use warm water and gently dab to clean. For brave parents, airing out the affected area works wonders as well.

TREAT OR PREVENT:

First find out the reason behind the diaper rash. Go see your pediatrician. You can talk to a lactation consultant as well if you are suspecting it is thrush or a milk allergy.

Another option is preventative care. Wouldn�t something natural and organic on the baby�s bottom be nice? There are special soaps with no additives. There are wonderful ointments that help protect your little one's bottom as well. Visit www.birth-angel.com for soap and ointment to help soothe and protect your baby�s delicate bottom. Baby will thank you. Happy baby, happy parents.
