Preventing Diaper Rash
As the old saying goes, prevention is better than cure. For all that we may fear the onset of diaper rash in our children, there is no certainty of absolute and total prevention - but there is a lot that can be done to prevent diaper rash and make it far less likely, and it revolves mostly around keeping your baby dry and clean as far as is possible.
Your baby will not be shy about letting you know when it is in any discomfort. This can prevent diaper rash from developing, but would obviously not be a way of preventing it before it begins.
New parents have a lot of cause to be concerned about their baby's health. Visiting any page with even just the regular things that can - and do - happen to most babies is enough to drive someone to distraction. Even non-parents would be hard pressed not to shudder in sympathy.
Something as common as diaper rash, which affects most babies at some point in some measure, is still too much for any parent to bear with real composure. Knowing how to recognize diaper rash, and prevent it getting worse, is something that all parents will be well served by in the early life of their baby.
The diaper area of a baby will, unavoidably, come into contact with some bacteria on a regular basis. Even regular changes and cleaning can sometimes fail to pick it up. You will know when your baby has diaper rash, as it is characterized by skin in the diaper area appearing red and inflamed, and in some cases coming up in pimples. It will irritate the child and if left unchecked can develop into something worse, including a number of infections. As well as this, it will be obvious to any parent that the child is in quite some discomfort. They will cry more and louder, and show general displeasure. Keeping your baby clean will, however, keep diaper rash from occurring in a severe manner or too often, and swift corrective action including treatment with a gentle, pH neutral moisturizer will make a real difference, quickly.
The prevention of diaper rash is something that requires no small amount of diligence, as well as some luck. But there are some simple rules which can make the process a lot more straightforward.
Firstly, you must change your baby's diaper as soon as it is obviously soiled. This will prevent the infection from having somewhere to live. In the same spirit, it is important to clean your baby in the affected area after it has become soiled. Allowing the area to dry before putting on a fresh nappy is essential. A thin layer of ointment on the affected area will kill off germs while preventing others from taking hold. And applying the fresh diaper loosely will give room for the skin to breathe.
Finally when your baby moves on to solid foods you should take a few days between introducing new items. This will help you determine if the infection is down to a food allergy.

Getting ready for the arrival of your little one is an exciting time! “Nesting” instincts, over-compulsive cleaning, and neatly folding and arranging all those little clothes are just some of the things you will do to pass those last few weeks and days. Another way moms-to-be like to prepare for their little one is by packing a hospital bag that includes not only things for mom, but for baby as well.
Going with your instincts means trusting your baby to develop his or her own unique timetable. It seems common these days to seek endorsement of routines, timed feeds, scheduled feeds, dropped feeds and substituted feeds. The alternative is to (within reason) let your baby indicate the frequency and duration of feeding.
