Diaper rash is one of the most common skin irritations babies experience, and for new parents, it can be a frustrating and emotional hurdle. But with the right knowledge and gentle, natural products, it’s easy to prevent and treat.
What Causes Diaper Rash?
Diaper rash is typically caused by prolonged exposure to wetness, friction, and irritants from diapers or wipes. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, it can also result from yeast infections or allergic reactions to products with harsh chemicals or fragrances.
Signs to Look For:
- Red, inflamed skin around the diaper area
- Discomfort or fussiness during diaper changes
- Peeling or blistering in more severe cases
Prevention Tips:
- Change diapers frequently and allow skin to air dry
- Use breathable, hypoallergenic diapers like Happy Little Camper’s Natural Diapers
- Avoid wipes and creams with alcohol, synthetic fragrances, or parabens
Natural Remedies That Work:
- Aloe Vera & Chamomile: Calm inflammation and support healing
- Coconut Oil: Moisturizes and acts as a barrier
- Zinc Oxide: Found in many diaper creams, it helps protect and soothe
For additional guidance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers advice on preventing and managing diaper rashes safely.
Every baby deserves comfort and care.
