Despite your best efforts, chances are that your little one will develop a diaper rash once in a while.
Most babies do.
Most cases occur when a baby's sensitive skin has routine contact with urine and stool. A rash is more likely to develop if a baby has frequent stools, bowel movements at night, or is on antibiotics . The best ways of preventing and treating mild diaper rash is to keep your baby clean and dry as much as possible by frequently changing your baby's diapers and carefully washing the skin each time. Exposing air to the affected area can hasten healing. This may mean removing plastic pants or even allowing your baby to go without a diaper for awhile during the day.
