5 steps on how to heal a diaper rash

5 steps on how to heal a diaper rash

If you are a mom, you've probably already dealt with diaper rash. For those of you that haven't, you will. One of the laws of nature, I guess. Have baby, have diaper rash. Some only see it a few times, others  get to be pros at handling it because we do it so frequently. With multiple kids and multiple bums, you gain experience. Hopefully my experience can help a new mom avoid some headache.

Here's what I know:

1.     Air – encourage air on the skin.  Naked time after a bath is both fun and beneficial.  Make sure clothing is breathable and not too restrictive.

2.     Switch your wipes – use just water and a washcloth, or one of those new less-chemical wipes, like WaterWipes or BumBoosa. Baby's bottom could be irritated by something some chemical or fragrance in your wipes

3.     Use a protective cream barrier to prevent, heal minor redness

·      Keep a few different types on hand, some work better than others depending on the rash. 

·      Consider a zinc oxide based cream

·      Consider a more natural healing balm, like coconut oil, breastmilk, oatmeal bath. Coconut oil worked like a dream for me

·      Skip the powders

4.     Be sure to get all the bm and urine off at each change. I know, this sounds like a "duh" point, but you'll think of this when you've got poo stuck on a diaper rash and you're trying to scrape it off and your baby is crying in pain. Yes, you really do need to get it off.

5.     Still doesn’t heal?  - Contact your pediatrician as it may be a yeast or bacterial infection.  I was afraid to be "that mom" that took her kid into the doctor for a diaper rash, but it was a good thing I did. Turns out, we needed a round of antibiotics to get rid of a particularly nasty rash once.

Prevent future outbreaks

·         Timely changes – at least every 2 hours or when baby has a bowel movement.

·         Plenty of fresh air time sans diaper

·         Look for the cause:

o    Did Baby try any new or acidic foods? There's a good reason that I hate blueberries.

o    Baby's teething? Not sure of the science behind it, but teething wreaks havoc on everything, including baby's bum.

o    Consider your diapers:

Cloth diapers – Did you change detergents?   Do your diapers have an odor or need to be stripped?  Consider more natural fibers for inserts, or a stay-dry layer to keep the wet off the bum. Consider using disposable until an infection clears up.

Disposable Diapers -  Consider a different brand.  Try 1-3 samples of a brand to see if it works – does not leak or cause skin irritation.  Consider brands that are latex free (Kirkland, Bambo), fragrance free (Babies R Us, Naty), chlorine free (Up and Up, Seventh Generation).
