Diaper Rash Ointment

It happens red, scaly, maybe even swollen rashes on your baby's beautiful skin. The combination of sensitive skin and warm, wet diapers is disastrous for any baby. Here are a few things you can do to cut down on the likelihood of diaper rash: * Go without a diaper to let your baby "air out" as much as possible. * Avoid clothing that is binding or tight. * Change your baby as frequently as possible. Check the diaper for wetness as soon as your infant has fallen asleep. * Use warm water and mild soaps instead of baby wipes. * If you must use wipes, they should be unscented. If these preventative methods fail and your baby gets a diaper rash, try using an ointment. A good ointment should provide gentle healing and protection to relieve and soothe your baby's sensitive skin. It also provides a moisture barrier to help keep the affected area dry. For this purpose, you might want to consider using the ointment even when your baby isn't suffering from a rash.
