How Should You Change the Baby?

• Always Wash your hands before and after each time you change a diaper.

• Lie the baby on a flat, safe surface, such as a changing table with side rails or on the floor. 

• Always Keep one hand on the baby at all times. Never leave baby unattended ever. 

• Wipe the private area with a warm, wet washcloth or diaper wipe. Dry the baby thoroughly.

• Refrain from the use of baby powder or cornstarch. Powder near the face or nostrils can cause choking and breathing difficulties for an infant.

  

How To Diaper A Boy

Cause & Treatment for Diaper Rash

Rash
Diaper rash is a series of blisstered and irrateated skin in the diaper area. Common causes of diaper rash are:
•    Irritation from dampness caused by urine or stool on the skin.
•    Allergic reaction to soaps, perfumes, or oils that touch the skin.
•    Yeast infection spreads from the mouth or from the stool. A yeast infection can develop after your baby has had a rash for several days.

Reduce Diaper Rash by following these procedures:
•    Keep the skin dry by changing diapers as soon as they are wet or soiled.
•    Don’t use soap.
•    Remove the diaper and expose the rashy area to the air for 10 to 15 minutes, three or four times a day.
•    When the diaper area is clean and dry, rub on a thin layer of petroleum jelly, or zinc-based cream.
•    Avoid using airtight plastic pants over the diaper. 
•    Try switching to cloth diapers if you are using disposables and find the rash is getting worse. 

If you have followed these suggestions and the rash lasts longer than five days, has blisters, pus, peeling areas, or crusty patches, or is mainly in the skin creases, call your healthcare provider immediately.
