Here's a report from dermatologists about taking good care of kids:
In addition to using disposable diapers that feature these design improvements, Dr. Spraker recommends the following tips to prevent and treat persistent diaper rash: * Promptly change diapers containing stool. Since urine by itself is not irritating, mildly wet diapers do not need to be changed immediately. Industry studies show that most parents change a baby´s diaper six to seven times per day on average. * Cleanse fecal matter off baby´s skin with baby wipes, which are non-irritating. * To treat irritant diaper dermatitis, apply a barrier cream that contains zinc oxide or petrolatum. It is not necessary to use a barrier product to prevent a rash. * Avoid using unnecessary products, such as powders, on baby´s bottom. Baby powder should be avoided, as babies can breathe them in and develop pneumonia.
