The most important way to prevent and treat a rash is to keep your baby's diaper dry and clean. Whenever your baby isn't wearing a diaper, lay them down on a towel. The longer they're out of a diaper, the better.

When you change your baby's diaper, try to keep it loose. Clean they diaper area gently with a soft cloth and a squirt of water from a bottle. The chemicals in wipes are harsh on irritated skin, so avoid using them.

When you give your baby a bath, use mild soap, but not for every wash. Pat - don't scrub - the area dry.

For prevention,I also alternated soap baths and just water baths. Always let the diaper crotch sag instead of being tightly fitted. Lose fitting pants to help keep the diaper lose instead of pressed against the skin.

When rash is present,switch to just water squirt bottle. No wipes. Lanolin worked great as an alternative to zinc ointments. Air as much as possible.
