Nappy area care

Every baby has a unique skin type and caring for the diaper area is different because they need special care. Fortunately there are some straightforward procedures and basics for dealing with your baby's skin that are easy to learn when the time comes.

What is the rash caused by the diaper ?

A red patch of skin on a baby's bottom indicates a diaper rash, a frequent type of dermatitis.

In addition to friction and skin sensitivity, wet or infrequently changed nappies are often associated with diaper rash. 

Diaper rash most often affects young children, although it can happen to anyone who uses a diaper frequently.

What are the signs that indicate diaper rash?

When changing a baby's diaper, the baby may appear more unhappy than usual. In addition, the baby's skin will appear red and painful if you come close to him.

How is diaper rash treated?

Keep the area dry by frequently checking and changing your baby's diaper, and applying lotions or ointments to the affected area is something your doctor may choose to do.

When a rash appears due to a diaper, when should I visit a doctor?

It may be time to call the doctor if your child's nappy rash doesn't seem to improve or go away after trying everything to treat it, especially if any of the following apply: 

• If your child is feverish.
• If your child seems uncomfortable when urinating or urinating.
• If the rash persists than keep despite home remedies.

Nappy area care

• When your baby is a baby you have a lot of things you need to do for him, including taking care of the nappy area so it's important to change your baby's diapers frequently and wipe his skin with baby wipes gently but thoroughly each time.
• Next, apply KiddiSoft Nappy Cream to your baby's bottom or gently dab it with warm water from a spray bottle before gently drying it off. 
• Wait a bit for it to dry naturally to prevent annoying moisture rashes, and in addition, make sure you get comfortable, fragrance-free diapers for your baby.

Tips when changing a diaper

Before changing a diaper for your child, there are a number of instructions that must be taken into account to make it easy and simple as follows:

• Gently wash the skin with warm water where you can also put warm water on your child's bottom using a squeeze bottle.
• If you use soap, make sure it is gentle and unscented.
• Gently dry the skin with a small cloth.
•  Apply Vaseline paste or ointment to the skin.
• Use disposable nappies instead of cloth nappies because they are more effective at absorbing moisture from the skin.
• Allow your baby's bottom to breathe occasionally without a diaper. Your baby can be laid on the floor on a large towel or waterproof sheet.

DON'T:

• Use dry baby wipes only.
• Avoid rubbing the skin.
• When your child simply urinates into the diaper, avoid wiping all the paste or ointment with each change of diaper and wash with warm water only.
