Most babies suffer from diaper rash at some point. My youngest daughter started developing a rash when she was just 3 days old.

Some people think that diaper rash is part of being a baby but I don’t think that we as parents should settle for that. After all a baby who does not wear a diaper does not develop a diaper rash.
Here are some really great ways to heal and avoid diaper rash.

Can the cause be in diapering?

1. Do not use wipes, they are full of chemicals, instead wash your baby with plain water.
2. Change often, especially after bowels movement. Modern disposable diapers are so absorbent that the babies don’t get wet and you might feel that you don’t need to change.
3. Do not use perfumed lotions or salves.
4. Leave the diaper off as much as possible. Put the changing mat on the floor with a cloth diaper or towel on top and lay your baby down without a diaper, bottoms up. Make sure your baby does not get cold. To air out the rash is not just good for the diaper rash; your baby will love it. It’s comfortable and it’s much easier to move around.

Or maybe the cause is in the diapers themselves.
Disposable diapers are loaded with chemicals, perfumes and gel. The cause of the rash may very well be in the diapers.

1. Try a different brand of diapers.
   That’s how easy it can be to get rid of the rash sometimes. If your baby is sensitive to a chemical in one diaper a different brand might not contain that chemical.
2. Try gel-free diapers.
   The absorbent gel is said to be one of the biggest reasons that babies develop a diaper rash. The gel is so absorbent that it removes the water not only from the waste but also from your baby’s skin.
3. Use cloth diapers.
   I have 3 kids and still I’m a fan of cloth diapers.
   If you buy second hand or organic cloth diapers you are sure that your baby is not rapped in chemicals anymore. Using cloth diapers is easy especially if you use fitted diapers. There is no folding involved, simply put on a diaper and a diaper cover.
4. Try infant potty training.
   The ultimate way to get rid of diaper rash is of course to get rid of diapers. If your baby is less than 6 months it is well worth a try. My daughter actually peed the very first time I put her on the potty, she was then 2 months old. I did not get her potty trained that early. I simply found that infant potty training was not for me. But we found our own solution. Every time I changed her I also put her on the potty. This saved us the rash causing poop diapers as she decided to do her “heavy” needs on the potty.
