As a first-time mom, understanding your baby’s skin needs can be overwhelming. Diaper rash is one of the most common concerns parents face, and knowing how to prevent it can make a world of difference in your baby’s comfort.
What Causes Diaper Rash?
Diaper rash occurs due to prolonged exposure to moisture, friction, and irritation from harsh materials. Some common causes include:

• Wetness trapped against the skin for too long
• Diapers that don’t allow the skin to breathe
• Sensitivity to certain diaper materials or wipes

How to Prevent Diaper Rash
To keep your baby rash-free, consider the following tips:

• Change diapers frequently to avoid prolonged moisture exposure.
• Use breathable diapers that allow airflow and keep the skin cool.
• Apply a gentle diaper cream if needed, to create a barrier against moisture.
• Choose diapers made from soft, skin-friendly materials that minimize friction.

By understanding these simple steps, you can help ensure your baby stays comfortable and happy.
