So the first step toward clearing one up is to change your baby’s diaper more often – at least every two hours or so, as well as the minute you realize that it may be wet or soiled.

]]> 88823 1 46 Tip Disposable diapers tend to be better at keeping rashes at bay than cloth ones. If you use cloth, but your baby’s rash-prone, consider using disposables overnight.

]]> 88824 2 55 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218185/55.jpg Clean the area Urine and poop left behind can make rashes worse, so clean the diaper area thoroughly at every change. Use unscented wipes, without any added ingredients that could further irritate skin, and use unscented, alcohol-free soap during baths.

]]> 88825 3 72 Tip Sometimes a warm, damp washcloth can be less irritating than wipes. You can also fill a squeeze bottle with warm water, squirt some on your child’s bottom, and use cotton balls to wipe.

]]> 88826 4 82 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218185/82.jpg Pat – don't rub No matter what you wipe with, pat – don’t rub! – your baby’s bottom.

]]> 88827 5 88 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218185/88.jpg Apply cream Once your baby’s bottom is completely dry, smooth a visible layer of rash cream with zinc oxide over the affected area. The cream will form a barrier between the rash and the next barrage of pee or poop. Diaper your baby as usual.

]]> 88828 6 102 Tip Don’t use baby powder or cornstarch. They can cause a yeast infection, which can make a diaper rash worse.

]]> 88829 7 109 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218185/109.jpg Expose it to air If you have time, let your baby go bare-bottomed for a while during the day on several layers of soft towels. The fresh air will help heal their rash.

]]> 88830 8 119 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218185/119.jpg Prevent a recurrence Once the rash has cleared, keep a new one from cropping up by continuing to change your baby frequently and watching what they eat. Some rashes are food-related, so watch for connections between foods and flare-ups.

]]> 88831 9 132 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/218185/132.jpg Dress them right When you dress your baby, don’t use plastic pants, which trap heat and cause a rash or make a rash worse. Now that your baby feels better, don’t you do too?

]]> 88832 10 143 Fact Did you know? Breastfed babies tend to have fewer diaper rashes than formula-fed ones.
