Not Diaper Rash!
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
