There are many reasons which can cause rashes and if you don’t want to see your child crying because of the harsh and painful skin rashes, here are few tips to protect your kiddo’s delicate skin.
- Change the nappies regularly after every four hours to avoid rashes. If the nappy gets dirty change it immediately.
- Wash the diaper area with a mild fragrance-free cleanser or plain lukewarm water and let it dry before putting on a fresh diaper.
- Soap might be good for your skin but it will not suit your baby so always use baby special products like soaps, shampoos and creams for the baby.
